WITH a radiant bronze medal around her neck, Lyra Coronel-Malaki, an eighth-grade student-athlete, etched her name into the hallowed halls of Cebu City National Science High School. She became the second student to bag a medal in badminton at the Cebu City Olympics (CCO) last March 2023.

In the arena of regulation and effort, victory is hard-fought. And in this arena, Malaki, an honor student, faced fierce rivals.

Showcasing her agility in three intense matches, Malaki secured victory in two. As SciHi’s representative, nerves danced within her, but she soared above and claimed her place on the podium.

Years of training paved her path to glory. From local meets to district and unit competitions, she honed her skills. And it was these very skills that carried her to the CCO.

The bronze medal, a symbol of her relentless dedication, now shines bright. It marks a historic milestone for SciHi, a testament to Malaki’s talent and perseverance.

Last 2019, Alyssa Gwyn Arellano, once a student-athlete of the school, bagged the first-ever medal of SciHi when she triumph during the year’s CCO Badminton Competition, also bagging the bronze.

Supported by teammates, a personal coach, and her older brother Arturo, an accomplished Grade 12 student-athlete himself, Malaki embarked on this journey.

Reflecting on her experiences, Malaki shared, “In the early games, victory came easily. But the semifinals brought nerve-racking challenges against a skilled varsity player.”

“After winning bronze, I felt an indescribable pride. Overcoming challenges, I now strive for even greater heights,” she added. Though an eighth grader, her potential shines brilliantly.

Truly, Malaki has carved an unforgettable chapter in SciHi’s history. Her remarkable triumph will be remembered for generations to come. (ALYSSA MONIQUE TOLENTINO, CEBU CITY NATIONAL SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT)
