Sharing Cultures: That's Great
Submitted by Administrator_01 on Mon, 08/24/2009 - 01:23.
At the age of 15, the 2009 Youth Forum was Alima Zhunussova from Kazakhstan's third Forum. Those who have been watching her debate over the years know that her improvement has been considerable. This year her mixed team broke to quarterfinals, and Alima was ranked seventh speaker in the tournament.
iDebate: How did it feel to break to elimination rounds in the MTT and get 7th speaker ranking?
Alima: I was surprised. First of all, i didn't expect us to break to the quarterfinals with 3 wins, and secondly, i was quite shocked when they announced my name, because, as i think, it wasn't my best!
