How’s your preparation leading up to Singapore Open?

It’s been good. I’ve only just started training again this year, after stopping for almost 3 years so I’m still trying to get back into the groove of things.

What is your expectation in terms of results at Singapore Open?

I’m hoping to do a season best for Singapore Open.

Who do you look up to (eg idol, mentor) for inspiration?

I’ve always been a fan of Kajsa Bergqvist because she’s an amazing jumper (She’s only 1.75m and jumped 2.08m). I’ve also been following Blanka Vlasic’s comeback very closely and she’s been a real inspirational figure.

How did you get started in athletics?

In secondary 1, I represented my class in High Jump for sports day because nobody else wanted to participate in it. I realised that I wasn’t too bad at it and the school got me to take part in National Schools.
