The Asian Games champion, who finished 25th out of 43 in the men's dinghy event at the Olympics, has been in the sport for two decades.
MARSEILLE – It is a long journey that has taken him around the world, to the top of the podium at the Asian Games and to two Olympics.
On his decision to step away from competing, he said: “It was getting a bit tiring to keep up with the intensity for so long periods, that’s why I felt like I needed a bit of time to step away from sailing after the Olympics to try to refresh and get some energy back.” Lo is also relishing the time off and doing “normal people things”, like not having to control his diet.
He said: “I’m just fresh off sailing so I do look forward to having a break. But I’m sure once I resume with life without much sailing, I will miss it and I will definitely not be used to the routines I’ve built along these years.”
