Hong Kong athletes made history with their perseverance and strength by obtaining remarkable achievements at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games! To pass on this spirit to the younger generation, AS Watson Group Hong Kong Student Sports Awards (HKSSA) invited Sarah Lee Wai-sze, two-time Olympic Bronze medalist, to interact with the award winners.
During the meet and greet, two-time Olympic bronze medalist Sarah Lee Wai-sze shared her experience and said, “It takes years of dedication and hard work to succeed. I’ve been cycling for 18 years, even when I got injured, I never gave up. When I truly enjoy what I’m doing, I never feel tired.” She encouraged the younger generation, “Whether you are an athlete or a student, as long as you put your mind to it, your hard work will pay off.”
The event attracted hundreds of HKSSA winners. Sarah shared her daily training routine, tips on winning competitions and how she deals with her injuries. Digital interactive elements were also added to the event, including a virtual reality cycling game so that participating students can compete with Sarah and get a taste of what it means to compete with world-class Olympic athletes.
