Women of Power: cyclist Sarah Lee, swimmer Robyn Lamsam and high-jumper Cecilia Yeung make Prestige Hong Kong magazine’s elite list for 2021
- Cyclist Lee is a double Olympic bronze medallist as well as a motivational speaker and an inspiration to Hong Kong’s younger generation
- Lamsam is dedicated to raising awareness about hearing impairment after her son Kyle had cochlear implants inserted when he was nine months old
Double Olympic medallist cyclist Sarah Lee Wai-sze and pioneering swimmer Robyn Lamsam have made the list of Prestige Hong Kong magazine’s “Women of Power” for 2021.
The duo are among three sports-linked women – including high-jumper Cecilia Yeung Man-wai – on the list of 72, published on Wednesday, though their achievements and influence go beyond the field of play. They join other women across industries such as fashion, the arts and finance, including renown filmmaker Ann Hui and influencer Bonnae Gokson.
“It’s incredibly humbling to be honoured alongside so many inspirational ladies who are doing so much in their respective fields,” Lamsam told the Post. “This is also an wonderful platform for me to offer hope to families facing life challenges – to raise further awareness about the subject of hearing loss in children, and the importance of early intervention.”
“To me, POWER is the recognition of self-worth and the fulfilment of one’s true potential,” Lamsam wrote on Facebook. “My superpower would be to instil the ability to respect individual differences, and to inspire everyone to embrace their own superpower within.”
