“80,000 voices cheering and a full stadium might be an once-in-a-lifetime experience for many. Although I didn’t break the Hong Kong record at the London Olympics, I was excited to stand amongst the top athletes and be inspired by their sprinting forms and warm-up procedures, which I could then use to help me to overcome my weaknesses.” Erica Fong 方綺蓓 (BA 2014), Sports Scholar 2010; Sportswoman 2011 & 2013 Women’s 100m at London 2012 Olympics “Year 1 at HKU was tough for me as my coach at Kitchee expected me to fully commit to football. The travel time was also too long as I lived in Sai Kung, trained in Kowloon and studied in Pokfulam. But, I enjoyed playing football and my life is all about football.” Jaimes McKee 麥基 (BSc(Exercise&Health) 2011), Sports Scholar 2008, became captain of Sun Pegasus in 2012 and was the top scorer in the Hong Kong First Division for the 2012/13 season.
