I&#x27;ve been a whirlwind of, you know, media and, you know, people and just meeting a lot and a lot of new experiences as well. And this has definitely been one of the highlights, being able to meet them and also be inspired by them. And at the same time, hopefully be an inspiration for others as well,&quot; she said.</p><p>Proulx said meeting her fellow Filipina athletes gave her extra motivation, as she continues her journey as an alpine skier. </p><p>&quot;It definitely has been inspirational.

And I&#x27;m definitely excited to continue competing,&quot; she said.</p><p>&quot;And I actually have two more races to finish out this season. So going back to Utah, I&#x27;ll definitely be focusing on my training and racing. And being here has definitely put me in a good mindset to compete at my best level,&quot; Proulx shared.</p>
