THEN & NOW

THE CANOEIST

Annabelle Ng 36, CoachSG Manager, SportSG

Same woman, same studio setting, but this time there's a baby bump as the former Southeast Asian (SEA) Games canoeist is partway through her second trimester with her first child. “Since taking part in that 2012 photoshoot, I have competed in the 2013 and 2015 SEA Games,” says Annabelle. “I was teaching as well but I’ve left that vocation completely and now work at Sport Singapore in coach development.” Retired as a competitive paddler after the Olympic qualifiers in 2015, Annabelle still keeps up an active lifestyle. “I still try to take a canoe out leisurely sometimes but these days I’ve taken to swimming, jogging and going to the gym more,” she shares. “Now it’s all about bringing up the next generation of paddlers!”
