Proving that ‘girls’ can excel in just about anything -if not everything- is Caylin Majiedt, who has ranked third in the world of youth kickboxing.
Bloemfontein, South Africa (06 September 2024) – Caylin Majiedt, a young kickboxing prodigy, has shattered gender stereotypes by securing a bronze medal at the WAKO Youth Kickboxing World Championships held in Budapest, Hungary, from 28 August to 1 September.
The action-packed kickboxing championships brought together 3,100 athletes from 68 countries to take the kickboxing ring and show off their prowess in a highly competitive international arena.
Despite having only started kickboxing less than a year ago, Caylin has already achieved remarkable success, ranking third in the world, Eunice High School confirms.
The Grade 12 learner’s dedication, talent, and determination have propelled her to the top of her sport and her supporters, including her school and senseis at Lengau Martial Arts Academy, couldn’t be prouder!
“Congratulations Caylin, you have made Eunice and the whole of South Africa super proud,” Eunice High School shared online.
Caylin’s journey is not just a promising one but also encourages many other young girls to push forward, pursue their passions, challenge stereotypes, and believe in themselves!
