San Yu Htwe (born 14 October 1986) is a female Burmese recurve archer from Mindat.[1] She competed in the archery competition at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, where she ranked at #51 in the ranking round. She defeated Taru Kuoppa in the first round and Mackenzie Brown in the second round but lost to the then current Olympic Champion Ki Bo-bae in the third round.[2][3][4] She said that she felt too excited to be competing against the current Olympic Champion that her performance was not as good as she hoped.[5]
