| Roxanne Ng delights in showing off her three gold medals. |
Roxanne Salve Ng is a member of the Special Olympics Philippines bowling team that competed in the 2003 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Ireland. It was her first World Games opportunity, and she made her country proud by garnering 3 gold medals in the singles, doubles and team events.
Ng, now 21 years old, first became involved with sports at an early age, having trained in athletics and swimming. In addition to her athletic training, she also enjoys keeping up with the latest fashion trends — shopping is a favorite pastime. Ng also possesses a beautiful singing voice.
Currently attending the vocational workshop at Teacher-Mom Special School, she makes the time to practice her bowling techniques and improve her scores. She compliments this with regular gym workouts. Her coach Cristy Gacuma describes Roxanne as "determined and focused in her game, with a very disarming smile in practice and during competition."
Ng is very happy to be a part of the Special Olympics movement, which has always meant a great deal to her and enriched her life.
