00:00 The Philippine figure skater Sky Patena won the gold medal
00:05 in the Madani Cup Open Figure Skating Championships 2024
00:11 held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
00:14 Let's hear from Daryl Oclares.
00:16 The Philippine figure skater Sky Patena once again brought fame to the country
00:25 after winning the gold medal in the Madani Cup Open Figure Skating Championships 2024
00:34 held from June 5 to 7 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
00:38 This was her second gold medal this year
00:42 following her defeat in the May 2019 International Figure Skating Competition in Melbourne, Australia.
00:49 In an exclusive interview with PDV Sports, Sky Patena said she was almost unable to compete in Australia
00:58 due to food poisoning.
00:59 I was actually hesitant to go for Australia and just go for Malaysia instead.
01:05 Luckily, the next day when I woke up, I felt better.
01:09 In Australia, I got fourth.
01:12 Since I had a warm-up already, a practice in Australia,
01:18 I became more confident in my performance in Malaysia, which helped me reach the gold.
01:24 Sky Patena also added that she is happy that the Philippines is once again flagged in figure skating
01:30 as well as balancing her current studies in college.
01:35 I haven't been competing internationally that much since I'm also in college.
01:41 And, you know, I have to juggle a lot of things and all that.
01:45 It's really nice to get back and do the international competitions
01:50 and getting back out there representing the Philippines.
01:54 Patena also shared her upcoming competitions this year.
01:59 By the end of the month, I'm traveling to Japan for a competition.
02:04 And then for July, we have the SEA Trophy being held here in Manila.
02:10 So it's the Southeast Asian Trophy.
