Magical moments are few and far between, but we were honoured to witness, Olivia’s wonderful routine which won us our first ever Gold medal at the 13th Junior Rhythmic Gymnastics Asian Championships and qualifying a place in the Youth Olympic Games 2014 in China.
Olivia’s Gold medal was so well deserved; years of hard work and dedication have paid off. But in celebrating Olivia’s success we have to thank those who have supported her. First, Olivia’s parents, who like so many have given their full support to their child’s career. Secondly, the rest of the team who competed so well.
Behind the team we have to pay tribute to their coaches, who have worked tirelessly to a common end; the superb personal coaches Miss Julia Ivanova and Mrs Lidia Legotina and as well as the staff at the Malaysian Gymnastics Federation who have ensured that funding and facilities have been in place despite numerous hoops that they have to jump through to meet the set criteria.
Olivia is lucky she has achieved her first goal, many others theirs are still working towards theirs. Without support their chances of succeeding diminish. Well done everyone.
The challenge now is to secure our position and plot our way for the future.
