The 96 - 97 City U Grils Rowing Team
The 99 - 00 HKUST Grils Rowing Team
- My cross-country teammate, Eunice Chu Mei Hang introduced me this interesting
sports. Although she is not good at running, she rows well.
- Actually Eunice persuaded me to start rowing in my year 2 Summer, however, the
DART member advised me not to start a new sports at that time since I had just have a
great improvement in running. Therefore, I decided to concentrate my time to running.
- In 97, Eunice gave the same suggestion again. Therefore, I joined the team at
July 1 (2 months before the competition). I didn't attend any star courses but being
taught by our coach Tang Lai Shan, I was at least able to row. I joined the Recreation
boat and 8+ event at that year. With the help of my teammates, I got a gold medal for 8+.
For R, I could get into the final but only got fourth.
- In 98 summer, I was back to the training again, I was assigned to train with
Amy, an excellent rower in City, and joined the single boat event. At the first time I
tries to row on single, I saw a boy teammate capside and got into the Shing Mun River. It
is difficult to balance on single but it is much faster than recreation boat and the
feeling to row alone is enjoyable.
- In 2000 April, I pretended as a beginner to join the UST rowing team
and attended star courses. I just want to become a common member like the others.
In June, I become a real team member joining the sculling events. Before the training
this year, I have much confident on myself, however, the training these days made me
realised that I got really bad skills in rowing.
I was quite happy that I can have a partner to join the women double. She is Jacqueline
who had join sculling for 3 years. Also I think the UST team is quite impressive
- a real cooperative team to work out our goal!
I am proud of being one of them!!!
