Ng Joe Ee

​​In August 2022, Ng Joe Ee made history when she clinched two individual gold medals at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. The 16-year-old stunned the judges when she took the mat in the individual ball and ribbon events and delivered mesmerising performances that put her among the top scorers.

The Malaysian contingent had initially gone with the pursuit of the all-around team title, which they were unable to achieve, but what transpired was something even better. Ng’s stunning ball routine earned her 29.700 points to claim victory by 0.650 ahead of Canada’s Suzanna Shahbazian, while her thrilling ribbon performance propelled her to the top of the leaderboard with 27.800 points.

When she was four years old, Ng was mesmerised by the beautiful leotards that gymnasts would wear. She took up rhythmic gymnastics after her mother told her that she would have to join the sport to wear the leotards. Ng says she hopes to continue carving a name for herself in the sporting world and for more chances to participate in bigger competitions.

Her next goal? To qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
