Battling it out

The scene was more suited to an Ancient Greek battlefield than a television studio as hopefuls posed as Spartans in last night's Mr Hong Kong contest. Benjamin Yuen Wai-ho (second from left) was declared the winner before an audience of 600 women at TVB City in Tseung Kwan O. The marketing executive, 26, said he liked singing, watching films and playing guitar, and hoped for an entertainment career. Yuen competed against 11 others for the crown in the contest, in its third year.
