Soundbite 'I took swimming and diving courses when I was in primary school. I decided to focus on diving when I was 10 years old and I made good progress with my coach's assistance,' Ho-wing says. 'I gained experience by participating in local competitions. At the age of 12, I made my first appearance at an international event.
'In this year's Singapore Diving Invitational, I thought I was going to compete in an indoor pool but it turned out to be an outdoor venue. I had no experience of competing outdoors. The bright sunlight made it very difficult, but once I got used to the environment I performed okay. It was a pleasant surprise to win three gold medals in two days.
