SHAH ALAM - Eight-year-old inline skating sensation Chloe Chua is rapidly emerging as one of Singapore’s most promising young athletes, gaining attention for her power, fearlessness and technical precision that surpass what many expect at her age.
Her fast-rising career is set to reach another milestone as she prepares to represent Singapore in the inline skating category at the Festival International des Sports Extremes (Fise), the world’s largest urban sports event.
This year’s edition will be held in Singapore for the first time, taking place from Nov 22 to Nov 23 at Scape and Somerset Skate Park, where Chloe will take centre stage on the international platform.
A multi-medallist in regional competitions, Chloe will showcase her skills before a home crowd for the first time at an event of this scale. Known for her aggressive inline skating style, she specialises in high-adrenaline disciplines involving “grinds and jumps,” according to her Instagram profile.
Her reputation has grown rapidly in the skating community due to her boldness and refined technique, qualities described as “beyond her years” by those who have watched her compete.
This marks Chloe’s second Fise appearance, following her recent participation in the Fise World Series in Shanghai, where she demonstrated that she can hold her own among more seasoned athletes.
With the world’s top urban sports talents converging in Singapore, Chloe’s presence on the lineup not only highlights her potential but also symbolises the promising rise of youth athletes in the region.
