Siobhan He Shibei’s most comprehensive data sharing: complete personal time records from 2007 to 2024
How many generations of effort did Hong Kong take to produce someone like Ho Siu-pui? The saying goes, "Those who want to swim must be willing to swim, and those who want to swim must be able to swim." Both of these are indispensable.
Today, I'd like to share with you... Siobhan He's most comprehensive data sharing: a complete record of her personal time from 2007 to 2024.
The following content is based on a month-long effort of collecting, integrating, and analyzing data from over 30 Chinese and English websites both domestically and internationally. Thank you for taking a few minutes to learn these swimming secrets and growth tips. I hope this information will help more parents support their children's swimming development at home.
He Shibei entered formal training at the age of 6, reaching the pinnacle of talent and hard work. While most parents are only thinking about how to do well in primary school when their children are 6 years old, He Shibei's academic career peaked right from the start. The academic record she set at the age of 10 is still a record today.
Because of his high level of skill, he has been selected for inter-city competitions and the Queensland Age Group Championships after the school, swimming association D1 and championships. Even when he goes to compete abroad, he still wins medals and breaks local records. The more he wins, the more confident he becomes.
In an interview when she was 10 years old, she sincerely and directly said, "I want to swim to the Hong Kong record and swim in the Olympics." "My idol is Phoebus. When I see him compete, I remember his movements and then improve my technique in training."
At 13 years old and 171cm tall, she is coached by Michael Fasching, who is on loan from Germany. Her older sister is also on the Hong Kong team, and her senior sister is Hannah Wilson, a top swimmer and mainstay of the Hong Kong team. She trains for 13 hours a week and even during breaks from swimming, she doesn't forget her studies and reviews her textbooks.
Two weeks after Shi Xingyu broke the Hong Kong record for 400 IM in the United States, He Shibei broke it again at the Hong Kong Short Course Champ. Shi Xingyu was 26 years old at the time, and He Shibei was 13 years old.
He said after the race, "I don't particularly think about the Olympic standard. Even if I don't reach it, it doesn't matter. I just swim my best in each race."
She broke the Hong Kong youth record in the 100m freestyle and also met the B standard for Olympic participation at the time. She said, "Reaching the B standard does not mean I will go to the Olympics. I am still young, so it doesn't matter whether I go to the Olympics or not."
A strong sense of purpose has always been the driving force behind her progress.
Genius is something that can only be encountered by chance. Is genius a gift from heaven or the result of the collective efforts of several generations?
Even a swimming prodigy like He Shibei needed 20 years to become a world champion, proving that swimming is a sport that requires long-term dedication.
In today's increasingly scientific and data-driven society, people are living longer, and exercise training methods are pushing the boundaries. Ho Siu-pei will not be the first, nor the only one; I firmly believe that Hong Kong will have countless more Ho Siu-peis in the future.
Do you dare to dream?
