SOUTHEAST Asian Games karate gold medalist Jamie Christine Lim will banner Saturday’s Philippine Sports Commission Rise Up Shape Up online program.
Lim, a national team standout, also used to compete in the Women’s Martial Arts Festival and will share her journey that saw her achieve several international titles.
The online program starts at 10:30 am.
Lim will be joined by the next generation of karate champions who won medals in the recent Seventh Women’s Martial Arts Festival.
Seventeen young karatekas who bagged gold medals in the festival will share their stories and inspiration in the sport.
“The PSC is in full support of the Women’s Martial Arts Festival as this contributes to strengthening the country’s excellence in sports especially highlighting women empowerment,” PSC Women in Sports Oversight Commissioner Celia Kiram said.
Kiram will also talk about the history of karate in her K-Isport segment.
