Career

When Maizurah competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics, she was still a student at Anthony Abell College, Seria. [3] Prince Sufri Bolkiah, President of the Brunei Darussalam National Olympic Council (BDNOC), gave the Olympic Pins to Fakhri Ismail, Maizurah, and Jaspar Yu Woon Chai, who are all 2016 Olympians. [4] When she crossed the finish line in Heat 8 of the women's 200-meter race at the Rio Olympics on 15 August 2016, she fell just short of setting a new personal record. Brunei's participation in Rio was therefore put to an end. [5] In the 200-meter race, the then 17-year-old lowered her personal best time from her previous mark of 28.26s set in the Brunei Open 2015 to 28.02s. [6]

After finishing fourth in the girls' heptathlon competition, Maizurah missed out on a podium spot in the 2017 Philippine National Open Invitational Athletics Championships. At the Ilagan Sports Complex in Isabela, she scored a total of 2443 points to come in 16 points behind bronze medalist Rybylen Valencia. [7] During the two-day competition at the 6th Brunei Open Track and Field Championships on 19 March of that same year, she represented Kuala Belait, winning one gold and one silver medal with a timing of 28.07s, she took first place in the women's 200m competition. [8]

At the 2018 Brunei Darussalam National Games (SKBD) Women's 1,500-meter athletic event, Maizurah won the silver medal with a timing of 02:47:82s. [9] [10]
