A highlight of the day was the intense floorball match between Namibia and Kenya at the Inalpi Arena. Both teams, relatively new to the sport, competed fiercely in the group stages. Kenya emerged victorious with a 3-0 win, showcasing their quick adaptation to the game.

Despite the loss, Namibian player Quinton Gaeb expressed pride in his team’s efforts and took pride in representing his country.

“We thought we would win, but they outplayed us. It was a tough match, but we enjoyed it. I’m proud. Namibia is my home. I live there and I will represent Namibia with pride. When I return, they will say, ‘Yes, you’ve made Namibia proud,’” Gaeb stated.

In alpine skiing, Mexico’s Alexia Ampudia Ramirez De Arrellano secured a silver medal, with her family providing significant support in her training and achievements. On the same slopes, Great Britain’s Alice Willans made a stunning comeback, claiming gold just a day after her previous disqualification.

At the cross-country event, Denmark’s Nuka-Martin Lynge, who is based in Greenland, achieved a personal-best performance, finishing fourth in his race to the cheers of the spectators.
