He took up triathlon in 2015. (scmp, 06 May 2018)

Coach Andrew Wright encouraged him to take up triathlon when he tried to look for advice for running. "I used to be a footballer back at Yew Chung International School, and one day the school asked me to run cross-country. I did really well and they told me I should start running seriously and find a proper coach." (scmp, 06 May 2018)

To compete at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, People's Republic of China, and the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. (scmp, 06 May 2018; stheadline, 15 Feb 2023; hk, 16 Feb 2023)

Philosophy:

"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." (Facebook profile, 18 Apr 2022)

Additional Information

General
LOVE FOR TRIATHLON
He stated that triathlon is more attractive to him compared to single sports. "It's so much better than just training for a single sport. I always love that when I'm sick of swimming, the next [moment] I'm out on a bike looking at scenery. [And] if you get injured [in one sport] you can always train for something else; and of course, it's a great way to keep fit." (scmp, 06 May 2018)
