SCMP Reporter

Name: Pang Hok-man

School: Diocesan Girls' School (DGS)Year: Form Six

Sport: Athletics  (100m sprint)

Achievements:  Hok-man is  among

the elite when it comes to  the 100m sprint.

In 2003, she was the overall first runner-up in the Watson's Athletic King Championships (100m) with a personal best of 12.26 seconds.

The following year,  she was the second runner-up.

Considering that Hok-man is younger than the majority of her rivals who are 19, the 17-year-old has done tremendously well.

Soundbite: ' The 100m sprint is my main event, so I am going to focus and concentrate on improving my times. I was rather disappointed in being  second runner-up when I ran the 100m sprint in 2004  at the Watson's Athletic King Championships.

'But I'm motivated to achieve higher standards and with further training I know that I will.'

From her coach: 'Hok-man is very enthusiastic  and she keeps herself motivated.  This is the  attitude that all athletes should  have,' said Tang Kun-loi. 'Her speed and endurance are  of a high standard, but they could be further improved.

'With training, I'm sure they will  progress over the next year. I have a lot of faith  that she will excel in the coming Asian Games.'

Ambitions: Hok-man's main target is to get a first-class result in the Asian Games next year.   She also hopes to break the current women's junior 100m record of 12.06 seconds and  achieve a new personal best of 11.99 seconds.  But her biggest ambition is to represent Hong Kong at  the 2008 Olympics in Beijing'.
