Ice-skating as a new Cambodian sport
Ice skating CAMBODIA-STYLE
April 13, 2018
At Ice Park on the fourth floor of Aeon Mall, Cambodia’s national figure skating team wrapped up the first ever national competition last weekend.
American coach Rick Reyor, newly-installed head coach of Cambodia’s ice skating team, said despite the unique challenges facing the sport in the Kingdom, progress since the inauguration of the Cambodia Ice Skating Federation in 2015 had been promising.
The national figure skating team currently consists of nine skaters – thirteen in total including junior members and reserves. A further six athletes are training for short-track with an additional two not on the A team.
Reyor said that it may be early for his young skaters to think about the upcoming 2018 Asian Games, but the Federation did have their eyes on other regional and international tournaments in the future.
“The first competition for short-track – the Asian Games in Jakarta – this year may be a bit of a stretch because it’s all quite new for them, he said. “But we definitely have our eyes on the next Asian Games,” he added.
Kuala Lumpur was the first SEA Games in which ice skating was included as a discipline and was also the very first time Cambodia had competed on the international stage for a winter sport.

Took my eight year old skating today for the second time at the AEON rink and like everything she does she skates as if she is a proffsional ice skater. Makes me so proud to have a kid that can tackle any challenge that comes her way
Unlike me cannot even post the video.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
