Inline skating sports since I was a child. Meeting Coach Yang at high school inspired me to start XC ski, and biathlon. Shooting is my favorite sport. It gave me absolute confidence with a good shooting result at the youth biathlon 2023. In addition to being an active athlete with both categories, also a junior in the Department of Sports and Leisure Management at Fu Jen Catholic University. My goal is to participate major competitions and hope for the Olympics eventually. In the future, I would like to contribute my knowledge of experience to developing more athletes in Taiwan who enter the sport.

An active athlete in cross-country skiing and biathlon, he has been involved in biathlon for more than two years, participating in the IBU Junior Cup in Slovenia and the IBU Youth World Championships in Kazakhstan. He said, “I love biathlon, and no doubt, it’s because of the shooting and hitting the target. That feeling is truly irresistible to me.” He is also a dedicated cyclist, having ridden for nearly six years and achieved satisfying results in various competitions across Taiwan while continuing his biathlon training. In addition to these two sports, his interests extend to badminton, table tennis, football, basketball, and triathlon. His motivation is to become a successful athlete, with his ultimate goal being to stand on the Olympic stage.

As a biathlete, I was first a cross-country roller skiing athlete before transitioning to biathlon, and I’ve competed in Japan and South Korea. While shooting in biathlon is still new to me, I love it because it requires not only speed but also precision and power. The need to quickly adjust my breathing after intense skiing, just as I reach the shooting range, is incredible—this is the aspect of the sport I admire the most. In addition to biathlon, I’m also an active cyclist, having joined a team in junior high school. Over the past four years, I’ve regularly competed in various events to sharpen my mental toughness. Lastly, I look forward to competing in world events and continuing to grow as an athlete.

My name is Sam Huang , and I am currently in seventh grade of junior high school. I have been exposed to this sport since my father’s recommendation in the fifth grade of elementary school. Since I have no foundation in in-line skating, the learning process was more difficult for me than the average person. Although I spend more time studying than others, I also hope to get more rewards and move towards the goal of participating in more competitions in the future.

Participated in the Nordic ski camp in Canada first time in grade 7, I’ve fallen in love with the sport. The six years since then I’ve been a cross-country ski athlete. As an athlete representing the nation, I’ve been in multiple international competitions, these competitions not only provide me the valuable experiences, but also the chance to learn from elite athletes from other countries. I moved to BC, Canada to continue my high school in grade 11, also joined the local ski club. Two years later in 2025, I continued to pursue my undergraduate degree in the University of Michigan, studying Urban Technology. 2025 is going to be my first year doing biathlon, and have been training for the upcoming world championships in 2026, which is going to be my first biathlon competition. My ultimate goal is the Asian Winter Games 2029 and the Winter Olympics Games in 2030, and at the same time promoting the beautiful sport to the Taiwanese community!

My name is Jayden Lee, and I am currently in the ninth grade of junior high school. I’ve participated in a variety of sports, including triathlon, swimming, basketball, cycling, roller skating, and one I recently tried is biathlon and cross country ski. Each sport I engaged in has built me different skills, and they all require discipline, focus, and determination. I’ve attempted multiple competitions in different sports to advance myself. My ultimate goal is to someday compete in the Olympics in biathlon, and I believe that with consistent effort and hard work, I can continue advancing towards my goal.

I started skiing when I was in kindergarten. Every winter, my parents took me to a ski resort in Niseko, Hokkaido, to practice. At first, I fell a lot, but now I can ski confidently through the trees and down steep hills. I learned to be brave and never give up.

In the summer of 2025, I was lucky to try cross-country roller skating. This sport is like skiing but on wheels. It needs strong balance, good endurance, and a steady rhythm on different roads. Every time I practice outside, I feel myself getting better and better. It makes me love skiing even more.

Besides skiing and roller skating, I also like swimming. Being on the swim team helped me learn how to focus in races and work well with my teammates. Sports keep me healthy, happy, and confident. My dream is to be a great athlete and one day represent Taiwan in big international games, pushing myself to the limits and do my best!
