Buenaflor-Javier promotes exciting sport of ‘Ultimate’

“Nina Buenaflor-Javier was working for a top multinational company in 2008 when she received an invitation from a former athletics teammate to give Ultimate Frisbee a try. Buenaflor-Javier, a former Ateneo track and field team captain in the UAAP and a recreational badminton player gave it a try. She immediately excelled in her new discipline.

“Being a competitive athlete all my life, I was dying to engage in any physical activity that would challenge me, something that would bring back that feeling of being alive. I was really missing it. Athletics was more of an individual sport. Ultimate gave me a chance to be involved for the first time in a team sport. I felt excited,” Buenaflor-Javier recalled.
