The Promenade Ice Skating Team did it again! They recently represented Kuwait in Skate Bangkok 2022 and brought home a plethora of medals. The four girls, Kenzie El Adly aged 12, Laila Roshdy aged 9, Talia Albader aged 10 and Leila Almosawi aged 12, as well as the Coach, Nurul Ayinie Sulaeman, participated in events and showcased exemplary poise, artistry, and grace in their performances.
It is clear to see that the team did an outstanding job. This is the first live competition that the Promenade Ice Skating Team participated in after the pandemic. They really put their game energy on, focus on the performances, and handle all obstacles like a pro. All nervousness was handled before their events, and the young ladies showcased their talents in confident performances. The sportsmanship was also at an all-time high! The team members supported and cheered for each other; lifting and comforting each other at all times.
The team competed against 420 skaters from 7 countries and 18 ice rinks. The Promenade Ice Skating Team brought home 25 medals in total – which is an impressive accomplishment. Each team member participated in five events, and the coach entered one event. The choreography, the maneuvers on ice, and the magnificence with which the girls represented Kuwait is definitely worth commending!
The Promenade Ice Skating Team has always brought home the medals and achieved victories at the international competitions they participate in. The team has a high standard of coaching and excellent facilities, which makes training a breeze! The team comes together more like a family with the coaches, who give their heart and soul to ensure that the team members are at the best possible level they can be at the time of the competition.
Meet the skaters that participated in the event, we are certain this isn’t the last you will hear of them!

“I love skating with Promenade Ice. The coaches are excellent, they are kind and push you to do your best and to not give up. I also love the Promenade team. I’ve made some amazing friends here. Everyone in Promenade Ice – the staff, coaches, skaters, and skaters’ parents are always very supportive. I learned a lot in the years that I’ve been skating with them – and it is a lot of fun! I’ve made new friends and got to travel to different places and experience new things and also learn more about myself and what I’m capable of.”

“As a coach and adult skater myself, I still love the feeling of performing on the ice. The challenge, nervousness, and the satisfaction after the final bow is what I loved for since I was 7. Hopefully, by still competing in this age – together with my students, it will become a good example of how figure skating can be a long-term passion sport.”
