https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AUttmgoSvM Following the previous assignment of dispatching BBOLD representatives to learn about stand-up paddle boarding, the BBOLD representatives are now facing a new challenge: snowboard skiing! As winter approaches, many people plan to travel abroad to destinations such as Niseko and Hakuba in Japan, or ski resorts in Korea, Europe, and America. However, skiing is a sport that requires a high level of skill and can be quite dangerous, so it is advisable to receive professional training before attempting it. Lack of basic training can result in accidents and injuries while attempting to ski during a trip. Since most trips only have a few days for practice, it is often insufficient time to develop the necessary skills. So, how can we practice sk...

Do you ever feel that the beverages we consume from childhood to adulthood are mostly provided by big brands? Whether it's lemon tea, chocolate milk, fresh milk, or fruit juice, the options available are so limited that you can almost name them all. Despite the lack of variety, how many people have actually considered creating a drink that truly represents Hong Kong? The story of Taboocha began in 2014 when sisters Lisa and Patricia started experimenting with the wild world of kombucha as their go-to home remedy for health fix-ups.  Lisa was suffering from poor digestion and her friend taught her how to make kombucha. It was a realization that they could help others with the same case as hers. At about the same time, they adopted a tricolored mongrel puppy, now famously and ...

Athletes have the ability to establish their own brands, and it is often perceived by the general public as a step towards commercialization and investment. However, the creation of American track and field athlete Allyson Felix's personal brand, Saysh, was actually born out of a tragic personal experience. Ever since winning the silver medal in the 200-meter race at the 2004 Athens Olympics, Allyson has gone on to achieve an impressive record of 7 gold, 3 silver, and 1 bronze medal in women's track and field events at subsequent Olympics. Despite her remarkable accomplishments, many believed that her career as a professional athlete would be smooth sailing.  However, in 2019, when Allyson became pregnant, her sponsor Nike significantly reduced her endorsement fees, offerin...

https://youtu.be/sDJl4cYGXa4 The older generation often said, "Having a big butt is great for giving birth." Nowadays, young girls say, "Having a big butt makes it difficult to take pictures." Modern young people are particularly concerned about their body shape and hope to be tall and slim like Korean girl group members. On the contrary, some people gain confidence from the saying "Having a big butt is great for giving birth" and embark on a journey of embracing their buttocks, forming a dance group called "Hong Kong Stocks" that specializes in twerking. The leader of this group is Kimberly. Before getting into twerking, Kim had been dancing hip-hop street dance called locking for many years. She was a cool and lively dancer with a mischievous style. About seven or eight years ag...

When it comes to creative work in Hong Kong, some people give up easily, while others soldier on despite the challenges. And then there are people like Shadow Chan, a Hong Kong-based illustrator who remains steadfast in her pursuit of new ideas and inspirations. As a freelancer, Shadow focuses on illustration design, animation, art direction, and more. After working as an in-house designer for three years, she decided to move to Taiwan to experience a different way of life and gain more inspiration for her work. She is now a full-time student in Taiwan. Shadow started her illustration Instagram account during her university days, with a "carefree" attitude of "just draw what you like." But after becoming a full-time worker, she became more serious and dedicated to her craft. "For th...

The Hangzhou Asian Games are currently underway, and the excellent performances of Hong Kong athletes have generated a lot of excitement. Let's continue to cheer for the athletes who are preparing to compete! The athletics events will begin on September 29th, with racewalking as the first event, followed by short sprints, relays, and other events that require teamwork and explosive power.

She hopes to achieve a top-eight finish, break her previous record, and achieve a seasonal best. To achieve a breakthrough, one cannot give up on new attempts and must accumulate experience from various competitions. Siu Nga recalled ...

The open water swimming event made its debut on the Asian Games stage, attracting attention from the public and various sectors. The event generally involves outdoor swimming in the sea, lakes, or rivers. The biggest challenge is not only the athletes' physical and mental condition, endurance, and willpower, but also their ability to judge water conditions. Tides, surface currents, and wind resistance are the main determining factors for completion time. During the competition, swimmers start swimming in the sea at the same time without a separate lane to swim in. When as many as 50 or 60 people jump into the sea at the same time, there is no actual limit on the distance between athletes, resulting in fierce competition and a high risk of colliding with other athletes or physical conta...
