Sweet success: Valerie scored her biggest achievement in rhythmic gymnastics by scooping five medals at the recent Sukma.
HARD work pays off – that is Valerie Ng Zi Yi’s motto and it has served her well as a national rhythmic gymnast.
At her debut outing in the Malaysia Games (Sukma) held in Kuala Lumpur recently, the 14-year-old tasted the fruits of her labour when she bagged five medals – three golds and two silvers – for the Federal Territories (FT). The cherry on top for her was contributing the 50th gold for the FT contingent, who garnered a total of 55 gold medals at the Games, which was held from Sept 16 to 24.
