Fellow Singaporean Pagiel Sng, 13, was fifth in the same category with 98.98 points, while 10-year-old Mckayla Ong finished seventh in the Basic Novice A Girls' competition.

Said Singapore Ice Skating Association president Sonja Chong: "I am pleased that the figure skating team have enjoyed their first outing of the year before the annual Singapore National Figure Skating Championships to be held on Jan 19 and 20.

"It is especially heartening to see our male skaters reaching their respective achievements and goals and proving that figure skating is not just a sport for females. We hope this will inspire more boys to try this sport."
