Aaliyah reigns supreme with full sweep of Asian waterski records
KUALA LUMPUR: Waterski star Aaliyah Yoong Hanifah added another feather to her cap after breaking the Asian women's jump record at the Holy Cow Cup in Florida, United States, last weekend.
Waterski star Aaliyah Yoong Hanifah has made history by breaking the Asian women's jump record at the Holy Cow Cup in Florida, United States. The 23-year-old recorded a jump of 51.9 meters, surpassing the previous Asian record of 51.2 meters held by Japan's Saaya Hirosawa. This achievement also means Aaliyah now holds the Asian records in all three disciplines - tricks, jump, and slalom, as well as overall.
Her impressive performances have boosted her confidence ahead of the IWWF Waterski World Championships in Australia in February and the Malaysia SEA Games in September. Aaliyah is currently ranked seventh in the world in jump and 11th in tricks, and she is preparing for the NCWSA Collegiate Nationals in California later this month.
