<div>Going for Gold
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since she was 3 years old, Sofia Frank has been obsessed with becoming the best skater she can be. As a little girl in Southern California, her father would take her to skating rink and teach her the fundamentals of figure skating. Sofia loved the solitude of practice and the thrill of competition and early on, her talent and desire was evident, as she began to win local club competitions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the past 16 years, Sofia has experienced the highs and lows of top level competitive figure skating, overcoming falls and defeats to continually move up the ladder of national rankings. And she hasn’t done it alone. As with most competitive skaters, her parents have provided her with their full financial and emotional support so that Sofia can realize her full potential.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Several years ago, Sofia’s family moved to
</div>
<div>Colorado Springs, home of the
</div>
<div>United States Olympic Committee and the nation’s top training center for aspiring
</div>
<div>Olympic figure skaters. Since then, under
</div>
<div>the guidance of world-renowned Olympic
</div>
<div>team coach Tammy Gambill, Sofia’s
</div>
<div>performance has improved by leaps and
</div>
<div>bounds. Training with some of the world’s
</div>
<div>best skaters, she’s learned what it takes to get to the next, world championship level.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In her very first Senior competition, Sofia
</div>
<div>surprised many in the skating world by
</div>
<div>defeating the Australia’s 12-time national
</div>
<div>champion and 2018 Olympic
</div>
<div>representative, while defeating 4 other
</div>
<div>seasoned Team USA teammates.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a proud carrier of a Philippines passport (her mother Precious - a former
</div>
<div>Miss Philippines), Sofia has been recruited by Philippines Skating Union to join the
</div>
<div>Philippine National Team with the aim of
</div>
<div>competing in the Beijing 2022 Winter
</div>
<div>Olympic Games. Recognizing her talent,
</div>
<div>the PSU believes that Sofia gives them a
</div>
<div>true shot at having the first female figure
</div>
<div>skater representing them in the
</div>
<div>Winter Games. This would be a true
</div>
<div>hallmark in the Philippines history of
</div>
<div>competing in the winter version of the
</div>
<div>Olympics.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sofia, her family and the PSU are truly
</div>
<div>committed to making this happen, but it
</div>
<div>won’t be easy. She will need to progress
</div>
<div>through a series of international
</div>
<div>qualifications against numerous world class figure skaters to make the cut. This will
</div>
<div>require non stop training and international travel and the financial requirements are
</div>
<div>significant. The Philippines’ recent success at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games was
</div>
<div>unprecedented, but its track record in the Winter Games is limited.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As with many Olympic hopefuls, Sofia’s
</div>
<div>success will rely on the financial and
</div>
<div>emotional support of a broad constituency of family, friends, teammates and the
</div>
<div>skating community. Sofia hopes to be a trailblazer for Filipino winter athletes, setting
</div>
<div>the path for representing her country.
</div>
<div>By succeeding in qualifying for
</div>
<div>Beijing 2022, Sofia plans on helping other
</div>
<div>female and male athletes from her mother country by establishing a training and
</div>
<div>financial network to support their efforts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But to get there, she will need additional
</div>
<div>financial support to continue to pay for
</div>
<div>coaches, training tools and travel. With
</div>
<div>your help, this will be possible. Any
</div>
<div>contribution- great or small- will make
</div>
<div>a difference.
</div>
<div>To support Sofia’s dream, you can make a
</div>
<div>contribution to Go Fund Me. Your donation will be recognized by a personal letter and autographed photo from Sofia, along with
</div>
<div>exclusive access to online updates and
</div>
<div>videos tracking her training and
</div>
<div>competitions on the road to Beijing 2022.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help Sofia and the Philippine
</div>
<div>Olympic Team make it to the next
</div>
<div>Winter Olympic Games 2026 at Milano Cortina and be a part of
</div>
<div>history.
