Team NT table tennis athlete Kathleen Cai recently took part in Table Tennis Canada鈥檚 National Girls Training Camp, hosted in beautiful British Columbia at the iconic Richmond Olympic Oval.
Over four exciting days, Kathleen enjoyed a mix of fun activities and six intense table tennis training sessions designed to challenge and inspire young athletes from across the country. When asked about her biggest takeaway from the camp, Kathleen shared, "I mainly worked on improving some of my skills and I learned a lot about the Richmond Oval itself, the history and a lot of cool hidden features. I also made lots of new friends.鈥�
On her overall experience at the National Girls Training Camp, she added, 鈥淚 really enjoyed the camp. It was in the Olympic Oval, which I found super cool. There were so many awesome and supportive people, and the participants were all so nice.鈥�
As for why she decided to participate, Kathleen explained, 鈥淚 saw it as a great opportunity for training at a higher level. I鈥檝e participated before and I know how much fun it was.鈥�
At just 13 years old, Kathleen is already showing strong dedication and a love for the sport. We look forward to seeing her continue her training as she prepares for the 2026 Arctic Winter Games and the 2027 Canada Winter Games.
Way to go, Kathleen. We are proud of you.
