Pyeongchang, Korea



The road to success is paved with many challenges that can only be overcome with determination and willpower. This is something that the "Malaysian Tiger" Julian Zhi Jie Yee knows all too well.

When his mother took him to an ice rink in a mall when he was a young child, he had no idea that Figure Skating would become a passion and that he would turn his Olympic dreams into reality. When Yee, and Alpine skier Jeffrey Webb, qualified and competed at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, they became the first athletes in history to represent Malaysia at Olympic Winter Games.
