Cecilia Yeung

Cecilia aims high: as a professional high jumper, she has to. She has represented Hong Kong since 2016, setting its women’s high jump record in 2017 when she Fosbury-flopped over a 1.88m bar, and winning silver at the Asian Championships the same year. Outside the athletics arena, you might find her plastered across the 32-storey Chinachem Century Tower in Wan Chai as part of Nike China’s recent advertising campaign, or as a face for Estée Lauder. While she says she enjoys the exposure that modelling brings, it’s records she wants to be recognised for.
