Diskit C Angmo (15) studying in Ladakh Public School in 9th standard and her compatriot Shabina Kawsar (14) of Saint Peter School in 9th standard have proved their abilities beyond academics in international speed skating, long trek events of winter sports.
To begin with they first took part in Dehradoon Open Championship in the last week of December in which both were given prize money of 30000 rupees each in 300 and 1000 meters speed skating events. Soon they left for Simla to take part in National championship in the same events where they achieved gold, silver and bronze medals.
First South Asian Winter Games in Dehradoon followed suite and again they proved their talents in demonstrations of synchronization for which they were lauded for their style and rhythm and received special citations. It was cool…says Diskit as they got all facilities from Indian Winter Sports Federation and happy to get the support from parents and Ladakh Winter Sports Federation.
Next on the card are trips to Poland, Finland and Canada where camps will be held and they will also get the rare chance to participate in International events of speed skating. “To achieve more and more successes and then to be a pride for people of Ladakh, Diskit” says with great hope and enthusiasm. Kosar too feels extremely happy and proud to have achieved so much and hopes for much more in future.
