Enjoying life to the fullest, 21-year-old skateboarder Rycelle Grace Abarico\u2019s life motto comes true after landing a gold medal in the Thailand Tropical Downhill Race 2023, held last November 25\u201326 at Khao E-to, Prachinburi.<\/p>\n

The semis round was divided into two groups; only Abarico advanced from semis group A. She competed in the final round against two skateboarders from semi-group B: Nawapan Aung-insombut and Xiaoling Pend.<\/p>\n

Outstandingly being one of the two women athletes in the Philippines, her first-time triumph in winning the open women category truly deserves the grand prize of 25,000 Thai Baht.<\/p>\n

Abarico started her skateboarding career at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games; her preliminary time performance was no question, finishing the first round with 1 minute and 33 seconds and the second round with 1 minute and 34 seconds.<\/p>\n

However, during the last wave of the match, she accidentally collided with her teammate Abigail Palomeno Viloria, but managed to secure third place and win a gold medal.<\/p>\n

On October 28, Abarico experienced another accident while skating in Malita, Davao Oriental, with her father. She was immobilized after breaking a blood vessel, and her doctor advised her to undergo surgery.<\/p>\n

Yet amidst it all, Abarico\u2019s spirit remained strong, as her 2023 performance showed big improvement with greater strength, finishing both her preliminary rounds with 1 minute and 39 seconds safely.<\/p>\n

Abarico was not only transparent about her struggles as an athlete but also enabled herself to learn from her mistakes to reach golden glory. Just remember, there is always a first for everything.<\/p>\n
