Filipina fencer Maxine Esteban, while still on the mend from an ACL tear last July, begins a stacked first-half slate for 2023 with tournaments in multiple countries across Europe and Asia
MANILA, Philippines – Filipina fencer Maxine Esteban is set for a tough uphill climb this year as she continues her grind for the ultimate goal of competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“My main goal for participating in this tournament is for me to get a feel of the action again. Since I am not yet past the ‘safe’ period, I know that mentally, I will be making controlled movements making sure that I do not make any sudden careless ones.” “The most important thing that I want to achieve from this tournament is to cancel out the psychological and mental fear that athletes have after returning to sports. I want to fence without thinking about my newly reconstructed ligament, but at the same time, I want to fence moderately.”
Then from April to June, Esteban will make crucial stops as well in Croatia, Germany, and Poland – with all roads leading back to Paris for the ultimate sporting showpiece.
