23 Mar. 2017 – On Sunday the 19th of March, Belicia Kahwaji stole the spotlight in the Lebanese Ski Championship at the Refuge Mzaar Kfardebian slopes.
This 4 year old girl, who is a student at Twintip Academy, launched the championship at such a young age. Those who usually do so are 4 to 5 years older. Belicia went down in the history books as she is the first girl her age to launch such a race. She is one of those ski talents who are driven, and have a competitive mindset at a very young age.
When asked about her, Coach Fabien El Asmar said: “She managed to pick the gliding, stopping, and turning basics of skiing at the first four hours of her training program.” This is a proof that she has shown dedication ever since her early lessons. This season, she has devoted long training hours to polish her skills.
Belicia grabbed everyone’s attention and proved herself when she managed to complete a slalom track, designed for much older skiers. The future seems bright ahead of this young prodigy so let’s wait and see what the it has in store for her. Maybe Lebanon could start aiming at international podiums if we give this young generation a chance to succeed and unleash their full potential!
