Snooker queen Ng On-yee pockets her second best of the best sports stars award
The recently crowned three-time world champion adds another feather to her cap after being named Hong Kong’s best athlete at glitzy ceremony in Wan Chai
With a third world title, a world No 1 ranking and now her second best of the best Hong Kong Sports Stars Award in the bag, life couldn’t be treating the city’s snooker queen, Ng On-yee, any better.
Despite her dizzying success, the 27-year-old isn’t going to rest on her laurels. She knows she has so much more to offer in a sport she has taken by storm.
Hong Kong’s snooker champion, who earlier this month secured her third world title in five years – winning in Malta without even dropping a frame – is growing testament as to how much she has improved over the years.
And on Tuesday night, at Hong Kong sport’s “Oscar” night at the Convention and Exhibition Centre, she was rewarded for her efforts as she added another feather to her cap. But she’s eager to conquer more heights.
Her long-term target remains to take part in more men’s events and her immediate goal is to qualify for the main draw of the men’s world championship at the Crucible next month.
