Siu-Yi Ng is a gymnastics coach for Special Olympics Hong Kong. She was recruited for Special Olympics by the Hong Kong Gymnastics Association. A gymnastics and dance teacher by profession, she has immersed herself in coaching for Special Olympics for eight years.
“Special Olympics builds confidence and creates awareness in athletes about what is happening in the real world,” she said. “It also helps promote and advance the status of people with intellectual disabilities in Hong Kong.”
Mei-Yu Lau, 16, one of her athletes, has been inspired by Ng's example. Lau wants to coach once she retires from competition and sees Special Olympics as a lifelong involvement.
