Nevertheless, we faced the challenges courageously and won this tournament. It means so much to us because it testifies to our hard work and determination. It has also become our biggest motivation to continue training hard so we can be more prepared for bigger tournaments, including the state-level competition. Therefore, we are grateful for this achievement, and we are also thankful to our coaches for their guidance and support, as well as UTAR for providing us with a platform to showcase our skills and talents in sports, which is also helpful in enhancing our capabilities and advancing our professional growth.”
