Sharing by Coaches and Athletes KAM Chi Ho, NI Chao Yang (Swimming Coaches) After the swimming team had successfully obtained qualifying slots for the Paralympic Games (PG), we and the staff made a wide range of adjustments to the training progamme. We are very grateful for the support and trust from the Association by accepting recommendations such as increasing the training hours, training in long course pools and formulating all-round plans to support athletes. Members of the Association even went to London to cheer for the team during the competition, which greatly increased the team s morale. Starting from the preparation, swimmers demonstrated their independence, strength, confidence and ability to strive for breakthroughs and to overcome difficulties. During the PG, they put themselves to the limit in every single competition. Some of the swimmers even broke their personal best and Hong Kong record. To those who performed unstably, they also learned how to cope with stress. Being able to participate in the PG, we were nervous yet excited. We could feel the far-reaching significance of swimming to swimmers because they can apply the experiences and values gained from competitions to their future lives. The Association arranges competitions for athletes not only for medals, but also for their adaptation to social life and integration into the community through the process. Modern swimming becomes increasingly complex with the change of times. Coaches must move with the times and make corresponding changes to traditional training and management concepts. Besides, referring to the training and management experiences around the world is another way to help swimmers meeting new challenges and making advancement in the progressing swimming arena. In addition to the efforts of the Association, the support from the Hong Kong Sports Institute and parents also contribute to the development of intellectual disabled swimming in Hong Kong and splendid results attained in international competitions. We hope that all parties continue to work together so that Hong Kong will soon be able to occupy an important position in international swimming! 10 LONDON 2012 PARALYMPIC GAMES CUI Xiao Yan (Table Tennis Coach) 2004 2011 1984 With our victory in numerous international competitions in the past decade and two of our players participated in the Table Tennis Women s Singles of this Paralympic Games (PG), we inevitably became the common focus for our competition. Facing these challenges, we have adjusted the training programmes to deal with the strong opponents, including a Russian player who has advanced tremendously recently and the Polish Champion at the Athens 2004 Paralympic Table Tennis Women s Singles. Through intensive technical as well as stress management training, both of our players were physically and psychologically well-prepared before the Games. Being the champion of the 2011 ITTF PTT Asian & Oceanic Table Tennis Regional Championships for the Disabled and two Paralympic warm-up competitions held in Korea and Slovakia, YEUNG Chi Ka reached her peak condition prior to PG. Despite skills and strength, she lacked confidence. To defeat this evil, we helped her to improve psychologically and release pre-game pressure before leaving for England. WONG Ka Man is an experienced player with better psychological quality so her training was focused on enhancing the overall capability by improving technical weaknesses. To compete in the Olympics is the dream of many athletes and I am no exception. I started playing table tennis when I was 8 or 9. I was then selected to the Beijing team and even the national team to receive professional training. Unfortunately, my Olympic dream was not fulfilled since table tennis was still not an Olympic sport in 1984 when I retired as an athlete. This time, although I attended the PG as a coach, the gold and silver medals attained by my apprentices not only brought glory to Hong Kong but also made my Olympic dream come true! 11 2012-2013

WONG Ka Man (Women's Singles Table Tennis Gold Medalist) 2012 CHOW Yuen Ying (2012 Paralympic Games Swimmer) I kept telling myself not to be nervous during the Paralympic Games because the coach had said that relaxation always brings best performance. Therefore, I did not have too much pressure and did my best even when encountering strong opponents. The final encounter of my teammate YEUNG Chi Ka was the hardest match because she is really strong and familiar with my weaknesses. As the match started, she gained lots of points from my weakest stroke, forehand, so I lost the first two games. Then I calmed down and re-focused on the game. By strengthening the defence, I spotted the opportunities for counterattack and finally won the match. Winning a gold medal was totally beyond my imagination. I was overwhelmed with tears of excitement during the prize presentation! When recalling the memory of preparation for the Paralympic Games (PG), both aquatic and land training were very arduous. I even took up running as extra training, hoping to enhance physical fitness. It was a bit disappointing that I could not make it to the final but I am happy and satisfied to have broken my own record in the backstroke event. I hope I can have the opportunity to participate in the next PG and enter to the final. I will make use of these few years to work hard on achieving this goal. 12 LONDON 2012 PARALYMPIC GAMES YEUNG Chi Ka (Women's Singles Table Tennis Silver Medalist) 2012 Since I won the Championships of a few major competitions before the Paralympic Games (PG), every one told me that You can nail it in the PG which in turn increased the burdens on my shoulders. Worst still, I was upset by the ineligibility of senior player LAI Wai Ling for the PG and it affected my emotion. In the final, my desperate desire to win led me to committing a series of mistakes that I was finally defeated by my teammate WONG Ka Man. I did feel a bit disappointed at not winning the 2012 PGs gold medal. However, I will keep training hard with the goal to win a medal at the coming Brazil PG! 100 AU Kai Lun (Men's 100M Backstroke Bronze Medalist) 2012 Butterfly has always been my main event. Since it was not included in the 2012 Paralympic Games (PG), I had to attempt backstroke and breaststroke. The transition training before the Games made the preparation harder than I thought. Nevertheless, the medal was definitely a surprise to me because I have never thought of winning in the event where my strength does not lie on. The most memorable moment of the 2012 PG was at the prize presentation stage. Although I had won a lot of major events, nothing could be compared to hearing my name announced and the cheers from the audience on the stage because the PG is the Games that I am most eager for. That s why I was so thrilled when I stood there! 2012 LEE Tsun Sang (2012 Paralympic Games Swimmer) 100 50 2016 I am a long-distance swimmer but there were only short-distance events in this Paralympic Games (PG) so I had to undertake transition training. The process was quite daunting, especially the training of 100M and 50M sprints which exhausted me every single time. This was my first time to the PG. I was quite disappointed at stalling in the preliminary round. However, I still put hope in the Brazil 2016 PG to obtain better results. 2012 TANG Wai Lok (2012 Paralympic Games Swimmer) 200 2016 I got really excited when I knew that I was qualified to take part in the Paralympic Games (PG). Back then, I was only fifteen years old and inexperienced so I went to London for the PG with anxiety. Among the three events, I entered two of the finals and broke my personal best in 200M freestyle. Although I did not win any medal in the PG, I did achieve the expected targets. I also took this opportunity to improve my swimming posture with reference to the superb swimmers from other countries I encountered. There are still three years to go to the 2016 PG, I will make good use of this period to improve my skills. To avoid additional pressure, my primary target would be entering the top eight in the next PG. Of course, I also hope that I can get a medal in the Games one day! 13 2012-2013

Message from the President 18 2012 2012 2014 Following the re-inclusion of athletes with intellectual disability (ID) in the Paralympic Games, our ID Paralympians have once again shone with remarkable results bagging 1 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals in the London 2012 Paralympic Games. Their outstanding accomplishments will undoubtedly boost the recognition and foundation for developing ID athletes as an integral part of the Hong Kong sports community. The steady progress of ID sports development in the last three decades has only made possible by the unremitting financial support from the government and our community. Among the strongest supporters are the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and the Social Welfare Department. These departments have been providing essential funds to our elite training, preparation for major competitions and for our day to day operation. This year, the amount of funding from LCSD has again increased so that athletes can receive better professional training under a more flexible method of resource allocation. The convincing competition results overseas have also not gone unnoticed by our stakeholders. As the result, we have now boldly taken on the challenging task of setting strategic aims for targeted success in competitions at international levels. In preparing for every international competition, we have always been able to count on the backing of the government. For example, its Preparation Fund has been instrumental to improving our training and equipments. The first time donation from the Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation also came in most helpfully this year to enable us to pay off the deficits for the 2012 Paralympic Games. These timely and staunch supports had clearly shown that our community cares about and is ready and willing to firmly back our ID athletes in times of need. At a time when our ID athletes are focusing on the preparation for the upcoming Incheon 2014 Asian Para Games, we would once again appeal and indeed look forward to receiving the continuous support from the government and our community to further their laudable cause. The current management team of the Internatioal Federation for sport for para-athletes with an intellectual disability (Inas) has recently been elected and I am delighted to report that our two Vice Presidents, Mrs. Laura LING and Mr. David IP will continue to serve as the President and General Secretary of Inas Asia respectively. Their appointments have indeed turned Hong Kong into a crucial hub of fostering sports development in the region. We will seize this opportunity and endeavor our very best to place Asia and Hong Kong athletes high on the international stage of sports. It is perhaps time for us to turn another celebrated new page for ID athletes of Hong Kong! 19 GBS, OBE, JP Eric LI, GBS, OBE, JP 2012-2013

Chairpersons Report 20 2012 2012 2012 2014 2004 2009 2013 ( ) Living Up to Expectation After being excluded for 12 years, athletes with intellectual disability (ID) have finally had the chance to prove their talent to the world in the London 2012 Paralympic Games (PG). Following the strategic plan, athletes were sent to participate in ranking competitions globally for qualifying slots before the PG. With the best competing spirit and status gained, hard work of athletes has been paid off, with medals and recognitions from the community. Bringing Glory and Proud In the 2012 PG, Hong Kong people were filled with enormous pride by the success of WONG Ka-man and YUENG Chi-ka, the gold and silver medalists of women's singles in table tennis respectively. Their achievement further consolidates Hong Kong's leading position in table tennis worldwide and has given an impetus to juniors to join in, ensuring a continuous and favorable development of Hong Kong table tennis team in future. Swimming is also a target sport for development among countries. Strengthened national training led to the rise of talented swimmers after the announcement of re-inclusion in the PG. Our athletes, however, have proved their capability by attaining 2 bronze medals under fierce competitions. The athletic team was only one step close to the PG. Though pitiful, it still got excellent results in different international competitions such as the 1 gold, 1 silver and 3 bronze medals achieved in 2012 Inas European Athletics Championships in Gavle, Sweden. Reaching for Another Peak Compared with the able bodies, persons with ID need to possess greater perseverance and determination to become an athlete. Last year, the cancellation of Para-rowing in the World Rowing Championships left no room for ID rowers to take part in international competitions. However, they did not give up practice and, luckily, found hope lying in Incheon 2014 Asian Para Games where Para-rowing will be reincluded again. All the hard work of our rowers in this period is not in vain and they are ready, both physically and spiritually, for the Games in search of another peak of achievement. Bridging the World After the 2004 INAS-FID World Swimming Championships and 2009 INAS-FID World Indoor Rowing Championships, we are delighted to announce the hosting of the 2013 Inas World Table Tennis Championships! What s more, International Table Tennis Federation (Para Table Tennis) - ITTF PTT will be sending classifiers for classification. We are sure that this would attract more teams of higher level to the Championships. As the pioneer of hosting international competition in Asia, we will do our best in promoting ID sports development in the region and enhance the international sports status of both Hong Kong and Asia. 21 MH Cecilia WONG, MH 2012-2013

Outlook 22 2012 1 1 2 2014 2015 2016 : 2012 2016 Over the years, our Association has strived to improve the lives of persons with intellectual disability (ID) through sports with the aim to promote their integration into the community. ID athletes have continued to achieve outstanding results in major international sports events, particularly in the London 2012 Paralympic Games. The remarkable result of 1 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals attained reflects their potential and dedication in the pursuit of sports excellence. The Association will not be complacent and will continue our mission to nurture elite athletes. Looking forward, elite athletes will partake in various international and local competitions. Besides improving sport skills and building their experiences, these competitions will provide more opportunities for athletes to improve inter-personal communications and broaden their horizons which in turn help them establishing confidence. The upcoming major events are as follows: Incheon 2014 Asian Para Games: ID events would be re-introduced. We will get prepared for this mega event in Asia. 4 th Inas Global Games: The quadrennial Games, the highest level of Games among ID persons, will be held in Guayaquil, Ecuador in 2015. We have been taking part in all the past Games and this time is not exceptional - a fairly large delegation will be sent from Hong Kong. 2016 Paralympics: With the excellent results from the 2012 Paralympics, athletes will take part in competitions to attain the qualifying slots to the 2016 Paralympics. In addition to intensive local training, we will also adopt the "competition for competition" strategy. By arranging the elite teams to participate in various international competitions, athletes can maintain their best competitive mentality at all times for the above major events. It is our hope that the Government can implement sports policy that allocates reasonable resources to ID athletes for proper training and render them support in their pursuit of a more promising prospect in the international sports arena. 23 2012-2013

Audit Sub-committee Report 24 2011 With the increasing emphasis on corporate governance and with the objective to enhance the management and transparency of the Association, the Audit Committee was established this year. Members of the Committee comprise professionals from the social welfare and accounting sectors. The Committee is set up to monitor the Association s internal audit. Authorized by the Executive Committee to prevent conflicts of interest and misconduct, the Committee can launch unconstrained investigation on the Association s operation as appropriate. As the Committee is newly developed, the audit procedure will be carried out by phases. A target was set to audit two projects annually so as to build up a comprehensive audit mechanism. With reference to the professional advice from related government departments and 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games, Committee members have identified five audit items for this year - including athletes, staff and helpers, volunteers, participation and organization of competitions, and sponsorships. After several meetings, we have also set a priority list for the upcoming audit work. Main focus will be put on enhancing internal operation and administration whereas financial audit reported in the Annual General Meeting will be compiled by professional auditor. It will be the role of the Audit Committee to ensure the comprehensive execution of the audit exercise. Next year we will further our audit spectrum to sports and fundraising events. It is our wish to improve internal operation to cope with the Service Quality Stardards developed by the Social Welfare Department. 25 LAI Wing Yiu 2012-2013

Personnel and Financial Sub-committee Report 26 3 31 7-2012 2013 BBS, BH In response to the administrative requirement of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), the Audit Committee was established to further enhance corporate governance and increase the accountability and balance of management. The Committee, comprising members of professionals from the social welfare and accounting sectors will ensure the Association s governance excellence by conducting internal audit regularly. Both the Executive Director and the table tennis Head Coach left the Association after fulfilling the contract at the end of March. We are delighted to have our new Executive Director Dr. Allison Wong taken up the position from July. Part-time elite coaches have also renewed their contracts with the Association. Though the post of table tennis Head Coach is still vacant, duties of the team are being shared among coaches. We have also been successfully approved by the Hong Kong Paralympians Fund for the employment facilitating grants for retired athletes with disabilities for LAI Wai-ling, a recently retired table tennis player. She is now a coach assistant passing her valuable experiences to juniors. This year, document revision like the Social Welfare Department s (SWD s) Service Quality Standards and the Memorandum and Articles of the Association has been finished. To facilitate our vision of improving the Association s service quality, we have consulted our committee members for professional opinions to review the assessment tools so that the practical performance of staff could be reflected in the appraisal form effectively. The Association has offered an additional bonus as an encouragement to coaches for coaching athletes to get brilliant results in the 2012 Paralympics. Besides the continuous support for ID sports programme development from LCSD, Hong Kong Sport Institute and SWD, credits should also go to charities like the Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation and Por Yen Charitable Foundation for their donation to Paralympic preparation and hosting of the 2013 Special Olympics Bowling Invitational Games respectively. Subsidized by the SWD, we had staff training on Team Building last year. We will organize staff development training continuously this year to reinforce their knowledge about public relations and improve their skills in holding ceremonies. We would like to show our sincerest gratitude to the government and the community for contributing to the development of ID sports. Together we can make the lives of ID athletes full of excitement and happiness. David IP, BBS, BH 27 2012-2013

Fund Raising and Promotion Sub-committee Report 28 2012 Local Heroes 2012 < > ( ) JP With the aim to promote public awareness of ID sports and athletes, the Association has adopted a proactive approach in reaching out to mass media. As a result, over 130 pieces of media coverage were generated. Besides traditional media like television/radio broadcast, newspapers and magazines, we also targeted at collaborating with the new media platforms on the internet to ensure people from all walks of life could know the Association better. The glittering light of our Paralympic stars came home from London, and not surprisingly became popular amongst the media and the public. Their success in the Pararlympic Games not only brought them pride, but also helped raise public awareness of the talents we have in our home grown ID athletes in Hong Kong. Amongst the vast interests in the media, we were selected by Ming Pao Weekly as one of the Local Heroes 2012. Mrs. Cecilia Wong and Mr. David Ip, our Chairperson and Vice President, and 4 medal-winning Paralympians were interviewed by the magazine to enrich the community s knowledge towards persons with ID. When it comes to promoting the Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run, we have arranged Mr. Patrick Chan, our Vice Chairperson, and Mr. Sam Tam, our former athlete, to be the guests of the radio program Share My Song in Commercial Radio Hong Kong. Through their introduction to the Torch Run and call for public support, the event has attained the highest participation rate ever over the years. We are most grateful to have the continuous support from different sectors including UBS, Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation, Mattel Asia Pacific Sourcing Ltd., Hong Kong Disneyland and Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C.. As new joiner to a long term partnership, we would like to express our warmest welcome to the Por Yen Charitable Foundation. Special thanks must go to A.S. Watson Group for providing drinking water to all events, without which all the events would not be successful. I would also like to thank the committee members for formulating and implementing various promotional strategies collectively to raise the awareness of the public in persons with ID.

Programme Sub-committee Report 30 2004 2009 2013 ( ) / 2014 2014 2013 52 25 15 17 57 ERES / JP There is an increasing rate of athletes with intellectual disability (ID) taking part in international competitions after the lifting of the ban on Paralympics. To cope with this trend, we devote ourselves in hosting regional and international competitions for local ID athletes, allowing them to gain experience and prepare for their future participation. After 2004 INAS-FID World Swimming Championships and 2009 INAS-FID World Indoor Rowing Championships, we are delighted to announce the hosting of the 2013 Inas World Table Tennis Championships, another advanced level competition for local ID sports. To identify more potential players, classification will be conducted during the event which classifiers from ITTF PTT are appointed for the assessment. Besides bringing another sporting spectacular to Hong Kong, we as the organizer also want to set a role model for member countries in Asia Region to host similar competitions. The manipulation of European countries in hosting international events will be lessened with the greater commitment of Asia Region, not to mention the growing status of Asia in international sports. The rising participation of ID athletes in international competitions also stimulates the re-inclusion of ID rowing in Incheon 2014 Asian Para Games. We had decided to suspend the training of rowing team on water when no advancement of the Para rowing development of International Federation of Rowing Associations (FISA) could be foreseen. However, the great news from 2014 Asian Para Games have brought us back to the discussion table to review the position of the rowing team and its possible development in the future. This year, we continued to arrange a wide array of overseas competitions for our athletes. The highlight among all was the 2013 Special Olympics World Winter Games held in PyeongChang, Korea where our 52 athletes won 25 gold, 15 silver and 17 bronze medals. It is no doubt a great encouragement for us. Apart from organizing and participating competitions, another focus is improving the service of the Association. The long-prepared E-Registration and Enrollment System (ERES) was launched officially this year. The system is a platform where athlete registration and information concerning competitions and training can be handled efficiently, playing a vital role in communication between the Association and agency members.

National Eligibility Committee Report 32 Inas 2013 Provisional Eligibility Inas (Full Eligibility) (IF) IF ClassificationSport Cognitive Test BatterySports Specific Test Inas IF IF 2016 2013 Classifier In early 2013, Inas implemented the Provisional Eligibility, which validates for two years, to encourage its members to organize local competitions. It gives athletes with intellectual disability (ID), coaches and parents a preliminary idea of eligibility and classification. With simplified application process, Provisional Eligibility requires fewer documents. This would significantly facilitate the popularization of ID sports. Athletes must possess Full Eligibility before taking part in regional and world championships organized by Inas. To be eligible to partake in competitions sanctioned by International Sports Federations (IFs) of the corresponding sports, athletes must undergo the classification managed by the IFs that includes Sport Cognition Test Battery and Sports Specific Test to identify their disabilities. Currently, we have sixteen elite athletes with Full Eligibility passed the classification. They are eligible to participate in Inas and IFs sanctioned competitions. To pave the way to Brazil 2016 Paralympics, we will arrange fourteen new athletes who attained Full Eligibility this year to undergo the classification in order to meet the eligibility requirement for IFs sanctioned competitions. We will be hosting the 2013 Inas World Table Tennis Championships. During the championships, ITTF PTT will send classifiers to take charge of the classification. In the days ahead, we will continue to strive for the athletes eligibility for international competitions to compete with the elites worldwide. WONG Chung Kwong, JP 33 JP 2012-2013
