Timeline

1986

Similarly, Tom Liaw, President of Singapore Weightlifting Federation believes that weightlifters like Wong are contributing to the revival of the sport in Singapore since it was last represented in the 1986 Commonwealth Games.

1988

Helena Wong Kar Mun (born 11 April 1988) is a Singapore weightlifter.

Wong competes in the female 53 kg weight class.

2005

In her late teens, Wong decided to specialise in sports and in 2005, she opted to study sports at Nanyang Polytechnic.

Wong continued her sports specialisation into her undergraduate studies by choosing to focus in sports despite her equally keen interest towards business and economics.

2008

She gave up offers to study business and economics in Singapore's local universities and ventured overseas to study sport science in England's Loughborough University in autumn 2008.

Wong faced tough competitors in the 53 kg category, meeting Thailand's top lifter and the 2008 Olympic (53 kg) champion, Prapawadee Jaroenrattanatarkoon who won with a total of 205 kg.

Wong finished sixth out of nine lifters, making a total of 153 kg (70 kg snatch, 83 kg clean-and-jerk).

She met Cyril Martin, a senior weightlifting coach with British Weightlifting (BWL) at the English Weightlifting Championships held at Lilleshall in February 2010 and started training under his guidance soon after at Atlas Workout Warehouse in Alfreton, Derbyshire.

Wong credits Martin's tutelage for her selection by the Singapore National Olympic Council to represent Singapore at the 2010 Commonwealth Games within a year after getting into the sport.

Wong "didn't really believe it" when Singapore National Olympic Council selected her to represent the sport and the country as she was just a beginner.

SNOC Secretary-General, Chris Chan remarked that, "We took note of [Wong's] steady improvement and thought she would benefit from this New Delhi outing. Her participation would also give weightlifting a welcome boost as the sport enjoys a revival in Singapore."
