Haiti receives an raucous welcome into the arena. The country is set to make its debut [https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1132308/haiti-lake-pl...www.insidethegames.biz

Their team Instagram account has shared their 1st place FD (jointly with FF Sport Universitaire's account): https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cnc9ajvoiJN/This weekend was the first time I saw Dupayage/Nabais and I am enthralled by them.
“I’m very happy to skate my second University Games and I got a gold medal for the second time. It’s my treasure,” she [Mai Mihara] said.
For Mihara, it’s a regular thing for her to sleep four hours per day, but she is still able to maintain both academics and athletics at an elite level because being a student and an athlete is very important to her.
“Usually, I wake up to get to practice and then go to school to study and come back home to practice. And repeat,” she said.
Bronze medallist Kim agrees balancing both school and training is difficult, but she enjoys having the title of student-athlete because she believes it’s something special that not everyone gets to experience.
“There are more things to consider when being a university student because I have to focus more on my studies. However, I didn’t get to experience school life as much as others when I was young, so there certainly are aspects of university that I cherish and enjoy.”
