Emmanuel College Women's Basketball standout Yannie Chan ’25 continues to impress with her talent, representing the Hong Kong national team at the 19th annual Asian Games in China, currently running through October 7th.
Chan started playing basketball when she was about 10 years old and has come a long way since then, putting up some impressive numbers for Emmanuel and now for her home country in the Asian Games, which occur every four years like the Olympics.
"When I started playing basketball, it was just for fun,” she said. “I just liked dribbling the ball. There was a mini hoop at my house that my mom bought for me, and I would just shoot around. I always knew I had a passion for the sport, and I always wanted to challenge myself to be a better version of myself.
"I'm glad and lucky to be able to come here and also represent the national team,” she added “I'm very grateful for the whole journey and everything basketball has given me."
