ANNIE AU WING-CHI
The talented 16-year-old helped Hong Kong win their first world junior squash title by trouncing top seeds Egypt in the World Junior Women's Team Championships in Belgium last month. With the major tournaments over for the year, Au wants to focus more on her studies before taking the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE) next year.
How did you feel about winning Hong Kong's first world junior title?
I'm very happy because we came first after beating last year's winner Egypt. I feel that our hardship is rewarded and we bring honour for the people of Hong Kong.
What have your other results been like this year?
Early this year, I placed second in the under-17 category of the British Junior Open. In March, we won the team event in the Asian Junior Championships in India which boosted our confidence for the world championships. I also grabbed a silver medal in the individual event. I'm very satisfied with this year's results.
What's your immediate goal?
