Business School student and Freestyle Slalom Skater, Klaudia Hartamis, skated her way to the top at the Korea Namwon Open 2017 last month.
Klaudia travelled to the internationally renowned competition in Korea to compete against the most talented skaters across the world. She took part in two main categories -Battle and Classic - and joined other athletes to showcase their best choreography, tricks and footwork in an attempt to impress the judges. Klaudia successfully won 2nd place in both categories.
The avid Freestyle Slalom Skater joined the university in 2016 as an overseas student from Poland and has spent her time successfully balancing her studies alongside her sporting pursuits. Klaudia, along with her partner, travel across to world to compete in international competitions, winning several titles both as a pair and singles.
Klaudia commented, “This was my first large scale international competition of the year so I am very happy that I have started the year off well. My mentality is to just always do my best and never give up. At competitions, I try to focus on myself and bettering myself. If I do the best I possibly can, then I am always satisfied, no matter what the outcome is.”
