Siti Zalina Ahmad (born 2 June 1979) is a Malaysian lawn bowler.
Siti Zalina Ahmad is from Perak, in Malaysia and is the only woman to have won two Commonwealth Games singles Gold medals.
After watching a game of hockey in 1995 she saw a lawn bowls match and decided to take up the sport.[1]
The first title came in 2002 when she won the Commonwealth Games Singles Gold medal in Manchester[2] and four years later she successfully defended her title winning the Commonwealth Games Singles Gold medal in Melbourne.
In the 2010 Commonwealth Games she won her qualifying group with a perfect 10-0 win record and 20-0 set record before losing to Natalie Melmore in the semi finals bringing her eight-year reign as champion to an end. She was also the flag bearer for the Malaysian team during the 2010 games.
