00:34Sa panayam ng PTV Sports, ibinahagi ni Gimba kung gaano kahalaga ang international competition para sa buong speed skating community.
00:44Generally speaking, our team is pretty small so this is a good way for us to showcase how well we've trained,
00:52all we've done, all our work, especially since we don't technically have nationals because again our team is small.
00:58This is a good way to showcase that and also practice with on an international stage.
01:04Even though it is a developmental event, it's good to practice it with like other countries because we get to challenge ourselves through that.
01:15Ayon naman kay Bemio, ang exposure nila sa mga competitions kagaya ng Sea Trophy Manila Series 2026
01:22ay nagbibigay ng kanilang improvement para sa mga darating panglaban ngayong taon.
01:27Dito namin malalaman kung gaano kami ka-ready, ano yung skills namin at the moment para malaman din namin alin yung kailangan namin ma-improve and kung ano yung mga mistakes.
01:38Usually kasi para, it's iba yung takbo namin sa training at iba rin yung takbo sa competition.
01:44And definitely important na nagkakaroon kami ng competition especially at the beginning of the year para well prepared kami sa mga big and upcoming competitions.
01:51Samantala, pinaghahandaan din ang Philippine Skating Union ang pagsabak ng mga figure skaters sa International Skating Union Four Continents Championships 2026
