00:00Target of the national team figure skater Sky Chua
00:03who brought the name of the Philippines to the Winter Olympics one day.
00:07Teammate Jamai Cabayaca has a guess.
00:11Aside from being a student and an artist,
00:14the 21-year-old figure skater, Sky Chua, also makes his own name in the field of figure skating.
00:22It was here that Chua earned the name of the Philippines
00:26at the 2025 FISU Winter World University Games held in Italy.
00:31Sky also placed 3rd in the SEA Open Figure Skating Trophy last year.
00:37That's why Chua is one of the athletes who inspire young Filipinos.
00:43Not long ago, the figure skater visited an ice dancing training clinic
00:48run by Shibutani siblings.
00:50That's why it's a big part of his preparation for his upcoming fight.
00:55My upcoming competition is this July, it's the Asian Open Trophy.
01:00I've been skating in the Philippines, mostly doing team training in the morning
01:05and just focusing on myself, what I have to improve.
01:10The national athlete said that it's not easy for her to study and practice as an athlete.
01:18Adjusting my schedule, finding the right timing to do things.
01:24Usually, I make my classes in the afternoon so I can skate in the morning.
01:30Something like that, you know.
01:31Just finding the right time and time management, whatever the priority is.
01:37Despite this, Chua's dream is to become a world champion
01:40and represent the country at the Winter Olympics someday.
01:44Everyone's dream is to be there.
01:48I'm working hard toward that, slowly, hopefully.
01:52Jamaica Bayaka, for the Filipino athlete, for the new Filipina.
