Filipino pair figure skaters Isabella Gamez and Aleksandr Korovin are making waves in the winter sports arena. After securing the Philippines' first international medal in figure skating in 2022, the duo has set their sights on the Asian Winter Games in Harbin. Their participation aims to spark a greater interest in winter sports back home, particularly in a tropical nation where such activities are a rarity.
Isabella Gamez emphasized their mission to \"keep promoting winter sports and getting more people involved,\" highlighting the duo's commitment to fostering enthusiasm for skating among Filipinos. Aleksandr Korovin echoed this sentiment, praising the event's organization by stating it offers \"a very high level of organization.\"
As Isabella and Aleksandr take to the ice in Harbin, they not only represent the Philippines on an international stage but also serve as trailblazers for future generations of Filipino athletes in winter sports.
