Swimmer Jasmine Ng Wins Paralympic Bronze
Teenage swimmer Jasmine Ng Cheuk-yan won her first Paralympic medal in Paris Sunday night, becoming at 14 Hong Kong’s youngest-ever Paralympic medalist.
At the Paris La Défense Arena, Ng finished third in the SB6 100-meter breaststroke final behind British swimmer Maisie Summers-Newton, who in winning smashed the Paralympic record and China’s world record holder and silver medalist, Liu Daomin.
In taking bronze Ng broke the previous record set by legendary sprinter So Wa-wai, who was 14 years and 10 months old when he won his first Paralympic gold at the 1996 Atlanta Games.
30th Anniversary, bc magazine
Happy Birthday to us!
Thirty, yes 30, years ago today, bc magazine debuted on the streets of Hong Kong.
Much has changed over the last 30 years, especially in the last couple Lan Kwai Fong and Wanchai are now unrecognisable from the vibrant social melting pots of the past.
And while you can’t fight change. It does feel a bit sad that many people today seem to care more about a ‘like’ from an invisible unknown digital stranger than engaging with the real people around them.
The melting pot of people around us is after all what makes/made Hong Kong ‘Asia’s World City.’ A place of magic where hard work and a bit of luck (or meeting the right person in a bar) anyone could achieve almost anything.
After all, I could never have imagined when asking two complete strangers in McDonalds if they wanted a job starting a magazine that it’d still be around 30 years later.
A lot of people – staff, friends, advertisers and readers have been involved over the years, thank you for your continued support and strength.
Carpe Diem!
