FROM SEVENTH TO FIRST: ONE BRAVE FINAL ATTEMPT CHANGED EVERYTHING 🛹🏆🇿🇦

Young South African skateboarder Ntokozo “NT” Dludla produced a remarkable comeback at the Kimberley Diamond Cup Johannesburg qualifier, winning the Open Women’s division after sitting in seventh place before her final attempt.

She had been trying to land a difficult trick throughout the competition and had already fallen three times. With only one attempt left, Ntokozo could have played it safe. Instead, she chose to try the trick one more time.

This time, she landed it.

The score lifted her from seventh place to the top of the standings, putting her two points ahead of the more experienced adult competitors. She also won the Best Trick award. 🏆

Three failed attempts did not convince Ntokozo to give up. They only meant she had not landed the trick yet.

Her performance is a wonderful reminder of the courage, belief and determination that young athletes can show when the pressure is at its highest.

Congratulations, Ntokozo. From seventh to first with one attempt left. What a finish. 👏🇿🇦
