30th of September 2017 was no ordinary Saturday for Julian Yee Zhi-Jie as it became one of the many dates which holds a special place in his heart. On that fateful day. Julian made our nation proud (again) when the 20-year-old SEA GAMES gold medalist secure his very first reputable qualification to the Winter Olympics 2018 which will be held at Pyeongchang, South Korea.
