The girls say they're happy to make Malaysia proud, and grateful for the camaraderie with their team.

Team Malaysia Youth All Girls cheerleader and co-captain Eva Marissa Ahmad Ridzuan, 14, says that she is "grateful" for being able to win the gold in the International Cheerleading Cup 2024 and the bronze in the ICU World Cheerleading Championship 2024, held recently in Orlando, the United States, together with the Malaysian team.

“Competing on the blue mats in the US was a scary yet exciting experience. And being called up to the podium for not just one, but two competitions is the most memorable moment in my life,” she says.
