Ho Shibei: The stars in the pool and the academic giants introduction: When the stars in the pool merge with the giants of academia, she is Ho Shibei, a versatile Hong Kong swimmer whose shine is enough to move the whole of Asia.
Ho's latest victory is ecstatic. Not only because she set a 13-year Asian Olympic record in the 200-meter freestyle, but also because she later won a gold medal in the 100-meter freestyle. Hong Kong's "flying fish" are spreading their wings.
In order to support her, Huo Qigang and his family were smiling together. What's more interesting is that Huo Zhenting, as the guest of honor, stepped forward to present the award, which is very similar to the scene of Guo Jingjing many years ago.
But what makes us even more curious is Ho's background. She is the niece of the Prime Minister of Ireland. Despite her strong European background, she is adamant that she is proud of Hong Kong and therefore chose to represent Hong Kong.
Academically, He Shibei is absolutely top-notch. Her college entrance examination results are among the best in Hong Kong, and she has also achieved excellent results at the University of Michigan. She defines herself as a "student-athlete," meaning she is a student first and then an athlete.
She didn't like swimming as a child. Although she started swimming at the age of four, her family initially didn't expect her to become a professional athlete. However, over time, Ho's talent gradually became apparent, and she began to focus on becoming a professional swimmer.
Her hard work and talent paid off. Ho Shibei broke six under-10 records in Hong Kong and became the first Hong Kong athlete to win the World Junior Championships at the age of 15. Her career has seen more success in the years since.
The coronavirus pandemic has brought challenges to Ho's training. All swimming pools in the United States were closed, and she was preparing for the Tokyo Olympics. To stay fit, she returned to Hong Kong and needed dryland training to maintain her fitness.
Despite the difficulties, Ho won two silver medals at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, becoming the first athlete in Hong Kong to win a swimming medal.
Of course, He Shibei is not only an excellent athlete, she is also a multi-talented person. Her labels include top student, athlete, self-discipline and genius.
The Huo family has always attached great importance to sports. In 2008, Huo Zhenting personally presented Guo Jingjing with the award, and the two married four years later. The Huo family attaches great importance to sports and has made great contributions to it.
In the marriage of Huo Qigang and Guo Jingjing, we can see the Huo family's dedication and passion for sports. Their union is not only the union of two people, but also the support and promotion of sports.
Conclusion: Ho's story offers us a valuable revelation: talent, hard work and determination can break all boundaries. Whatever her future choices, Ho has set an unsurpassed example for Hong Kong and her family.
