Private School Athletes
Ryesdale Academy and Finishing School, located on the outskirts of Hong Kong, was founded in the nineteenth century to cater to the children of British ex-pats. As the finest school in the region, it carefully cultivated a reputation for both academic excellence and sporting prowess. The daughters of CEOs, politicians, and entertainers all attended Ryesdale and great things were expected of each child. In its final years of operation, Hannah and Alice were undoubtedly its finest students. Pitted against each other by their fiercely competitive parents, these young ladies were ‘encouraged’ to become world-class athletes with designs on the Olympics.
