Proud Moment

I’m bursting with pride and joy as I share the news of Cass’s recent triumph at the Skate Malaysia Figure Skating Competition, Delta Level. Watching her glide gracefully across the rink, executing her routine flawlessly, was a moment I’ll cherish forever. Her performance was nothing short of spectacular, and I knew right then that she had a strong chance of clinching either first or second place.

Cass’s routine was a testament to her dedication and hard work. She moved with such grace and poise, seamlessly executing each element of her routine without a single flaw. The competitor from Kuwait also performed beautifully, adding to the tension and excitement of the event. But as I watched Cass on the ice, I felt a deep sense of confidence in her performance.

After a tense half-hour wait, the results were finally displayed. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw Cass’s name at the top of the leaderboard, securing the gold medal. The contestant from Kuwait was placed second. It was an emotional moment, and I couldn’t be prouder of Cass. All her hard work, discipline, and sacrifices had paid off in the best possible way.

Cass’s journey to this victory was not without its challenges. Just three weeks before the competition, she suffered a lateral sprain of her ankle, which required her to undergo physiotherapy sessions and take a break from practice for more than a week. Despite this setback, she showed incredible resilience and determination. Although she wasn’t fully recovered, she pushed through the pain and continued to train diligently. This tenacity and spirit are what make her achievement even more remarkable.

What makes Cass’s accomplishment even more impressive is that she only began her figure skating journey at the age of 14. Most figure skaters start their training at a very young age, but Cass has proven that with passion, dedication, and hard work, it’s never too late to start. In just one year and nine months, she has honed her talent to an extraordinary level, showcasing her skills on the ice stage with international competitors and emerging victorious.

Cass’s success is a powerful reminder that talent can be both innate and developed. Her journey shows that while natural talent is a great foundation, it is the relentless practice, perseverance, and passion that truly lead to success. Cass has demonstrated that with the right mindset and effort, one can overcome obstacles and achieve greatness.

Contestants were from USA, Kuwait, Hong Kong, Macau, Indonesia, China, Singapore and Malaysia.

Coffee, Dirty Gato (nicely done affogato with a dirty twist) and cakes after An Viet. I love the Dirty Gato.
