Some people may be surprised to learn that the list of top-level squash players in Hong Kong goes beyond icons like Rebecca Chiu Wing-yin and Annie Au Wing-chi. Young Post talked to four young full-time squash players about their careers.
Liu Tsz-ling has been the most successful of the four so far. With her three senior teammates, she won a silver medal in the women's squash team event at last year's Guangzhou Asian Games. When she stepped on to the podium, Liu had been a full-time player only six months.
'I was lucky to have finished my A-level exams in April last year and so had plenty of time to train,' said the Form Seven graduate from Jockey Club Ti-I College. 'I won the selection matches to gain the fourth and last place for the Hong Kong women's team at the Games.'
Liu, 20, now has a new target. 'I aim to do well in the tournaments with world-ranking points. Two months ago, I won the North Coast Open in Australia and got 210 points to boost my world ranking,'
