KUALA LUMPUR – It is not out of the ordinary that a young girl, enamoured by a gymnast competing on television, would walk up to her parents and tell them that she wants to be a gymnast.

It is out of the ordinary when that child has the willpower and focus, coupled with the support of her parents, to become an Olympian.

A 13-year-old Johorean prodigy has set her sights on becoming a world-class athlete, even if it means having to commute regularly from her hometown in Muar to Kuala Lumpur for training.

This is the story of how Eva Goh Hann Ning bagged the rhythmic gymnastics team all-around bronze medal during her debut at the 2022 Malaysia Games (Sukma) held in September in Bukit Jalil.
