Episode 42 - Colette Wong, Anchor Presenter, FOX Sports - a podcast by Mass Participation World
from 2020-06-09T02:00
On today's edition of The Aid Station we head to Singapore to meet FOX Sports anchor presenter Colette Wong.
It's always a delight to catch up with Colette who, along with Alan Wilkins, was the announcer at my first event in Asia, the JPMorgan Corporate Challenge back in 2004. Her energy, enthusiasm and humility always shine through.
Colette shares how a chance conversation with a friend gave her the opportunity to follow her love of sport and become a cub reporter at Mediacorp. It was a tough decision at the time as part of her heart was in Italy where her boyfriend Luigi lived.
Fast forward over 20 years and Luigi is her husband and father of their two children and her media star has risen to make her one of the most recognised faces in Asian sports media. Listen for one of the keys to her success in what at that time was a male dominated industry.
COVID-19 has presented a wonderful opportunity for the family to spend quality time together in their Singapore apartment and all Colette has really missed is playing tennis with her "Smashing Steffies" team and catching up with her Mum.
