Philippine-born athlete Sakura Alforte dominates the Under-21 Female Kata in the World Karate Federation following recent wins in international competitions.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old karateka proudly represented the Philippines in the 32nd Southeast Asian Games in Cambodia when she brought home the gold last May.<\/p>\n
Prior to this, Alforte participated in her first youth league appearance for the Philippines in the Karate 1-Youth League A Corua 2023 held last April, where she placed first.<\/p>\n
Completing her three consecutive wins, Alforte ruled the tenth Southeast Asian Karate Federation Championships 2023 held last March and secured her third gold medal of the year.<\/p>\n
These impressive golden sweeps by Alforte brought the Philippines to the top of the game, as she became the World Number 1 in the World Karate Federation Under 21 rankings.<\/p>\n
From September to October 2023, Alforte will once again represent the country along with the rest of Team Philippines in the Asian Games, which will be held in China.<\/p>\n
