San San May Take Part in Another Olympic Games

Lee Lai-shan, Hong Kong's only world-class athlete, was thinking about taking part in one more Olympic Games after she finished sixth in the women's event at the Games in Sydney Sunday.

"There is the possibility that I will take part in one more Olympic Games," said San San, a winner of the gold medal at the Atlanta Games four years ago. "I'll take my time and make a decision before the end of the year."

She finished 21st in the final race of the women's mistral windsurfing, leaving her sixth overall at the end of a thoroughly demolishing week. Her final placing just about summed up her competition and that of Hong Kong in general at the Sydney Games.

"I tried my best. But things didn't go as well as I expected. The level of competition was much different from four years ago," she said.

She said the reason why she could not break into the top three in any one race was due to the fact she failed to read the wind conditions and that she was physically drained midway through the race.

San San said that she would go on holiday to San Francisco in November. Before that, she will first take part in the Asian Continental Windsurfing Championship that will be held in Hong Kong in the last week of October.

The lure of another Asian Games, where she is the defending gold medalist, and another Olympics will probably see San San go for gold again.
