HANS Yoong is shaping up to be a formidable fencer, having won gold in the Malaysia Federation under-17 tournament this year and strong showings at the South-East Asia Pacific Championships and Asean Championships.

Hans’ latest exploits earned him a respectable second place among 41 fencers from Hong Kong, Australia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Macau, and his coach says the 15-year-old foilist can do better.
