Sukma gymnastics training goes digital

Kota Kinabalu: Sabah’s Sukma gymnasts will continue their training as usual at home with the help of mobile devices in preparation for the Johor biennial games scheduled in July.

Girls coach Liew Tong Ee said following the Monitor Control Order (MCO) which took effect last Wednesday, the athletes have no choice but to do their own training at home.

“Our centralised training was scheduled from March 16-22 and had to be abandoned on March 18 due to MCO, but we managed to carry out the control test on the girls’ individual routines as well as checking on their overall routines on March 17,” he said.

The girls’ team members are Felicity Grace Sew Pei En, Nur Farisha Atiqah Shuaili, Ammanda Wong Yeah Chean, Jill Avie Horatio, Cherfie Resie Chong and Natalie Yap.
