Although there was obvious limp in every step, Samantha Catantan doesn't mind moving from one piste to another for as long as she provides encouraging words or tips on what actions to do to young fencers of Canlas Fencing that took part in the recently concluded 1st Burlington Inter-Club International Challenge.
Less than a month after surgery to repair an Anterior Cruciate Ligament tear on her left knee – an injury she sustained during the semifinal stage of the Cambodia Southeast Asian Games last May, Catantan made herself available as 'coach' for the CF team during the five-day meet.
Catantan said that she is grateful to officials of the Philippine Fencing Federation led by its president Richard Gomez, and the Philippine Sports Commission chaired by Richard Bachmann, as well as the fencing coaching staff at PSU for their support.'Both the PFA and the PSC, they've been helping me from the time I got injured, followed by a surgery and now that I'm working my way back. It's a long process with a goal of returning to competitive fencing,' said Catantan.
