Balikpapan – Moureizca Asiah Quinshiva, a Food Technology student from the 2025 cohort at Institut Teknologi Kalimantan (ITK), won third place at the 2026 Cirebon Finswimming Open Tournament, a national championship. Organized by the Cirebon City branch of the Indonesian Underwater Sports Association (POSSI) and the Cirebon City Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI), the competition took place on September 11–13, 2026, in Cirebon, West Java.

This achievement followed consistent training. In preparation for the competition, Moureizca undertook physical training three times a week and pool training six times a week, with morning and evening sessions. She also maintained adequate rest and a nutritious diet to support her readiness to compete.

For Moureizca, the championship offered an opportunity to assess her progress after training. She aimed to develop her competitive spirit, gain experience, and prepare for future competitions.

Her participation in the national championship was also part of her development as a finswimming athlete. Competing allowed her to test her training outcomes while strengthening her focus and mental readiness. Winning third place marked an achievement in that ongoing process.

Balancing her roles as a university student and an athlete has taught Moureizca valuable lessons. Both require discipline, consistency, and responsibility.

“Being both a student and an athlete at ITK has given me valuable experience in learning to be disciplined, consistent, and responsible,” she said.

These experiences support her continued development in both academics and sports. Regular training and competition preparation have taught her to appreciate the process behind every achievement.

Moureizca also hopes that fellow ITK students will have the confidence to develop their talents. She believes every student has opportunities to grow and achieve success in their chosen field.

“I hope ITK students will continue to have the courage to develop their potential and pursue achievements in their respective fields,” she added.

Moureizca’s success in Cirebon adds to ITK students’ achievements in national sports competitions. From her training routine to the competition itself, she demonstrates how perseverance can create opportunities for growth and success.
