Standing at the starting line of a race at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, Hong Kong alpine skier Adrian Yung Hau-tsuen believed he might never compete in the Games again.

“Just soak it all in,” he thought to himself. “Soak in … the vibes and enjoy it.”

The 21-year-old, who was Hong Kong’s first male skier to compete in the Olympics, finished in 68th place for the giant slalom category at this year's Games. In the slalom skiing category, however, he made a mistake during the first run and failed to qualify for the second round.

In a conversation with Young Post, Yung reflected on the significance of being the youngest two-time Winter Olympian from Hong Kong: “It definitely means a lot to me. It’s evidence of my own hard work, tenacity and grit,” he said.

 

 

In today’s fast-paced academic environment, many students struggle to stay motivated. However, a simple change in the colour scheme of one’s study space could boost concentration.

According to psychology educator Peter Chan Kin-yan, colour psychology can explain the way colours influence our emotions and decision-making. He explained how a few tweaks to your study area - such as a cool-toned light - could help improve your focus.

Teacher tip: Ask your class what they think of colour psychology. Do these ideas make sense to them? What is their ideal study space?

Hong Kong’s financial secretary Paul Chan Mo-po announced in his annual budget address last month that the city’s recurrent spending would be cut by 2 per cent in 2026-27, even after it recorded an estimated HK$2.9 billion consolidated surplus for 2025-26.

Still, the individual budgets of nine bureaus and departments will rise more than 10 per cent. The new spending covers initiatives such as expanding the use of AI, launching a pilot programme to help businesses secure patents and financing for their products, and pursuing measures to help mainland Chinese firms “go global”.
