The Journey Behind the Gold

Cass’ recent achievement at the recent Skate Malaysia 2024 is a testament to her dedication, hard work, and perseverance.

Friday Dinner

Cass has figure skating class every Friday. She always eats something that’s not too heavy and low in carbs, yet healthy and yummy before the class. She then skates for almost 5 hours.
