Jerry Qi YuWu

The boyish 22-year-old, the youngest among the overseas contenders, has the brash confidence of youth on his side. With his clean-cut model looks, a strapping frame and easy smile, this ex-jock (Jerry majored in PE) has all the trappings of a future matinee idol. Just dreamy.

WHAT HE'D SACRIFICE TO WIN ON SUNDAY
"All my time. Even though time is very precious to me."

STRATEGY FOR THE SHOWDOWN
"My youth. Because I'm young and don't know much. I'm more relaxed when it comes to dealing with difficult situations. And determination. From my sporting experience, I realise that determination can decide whether you win or lose."

GIVEN A CHOICE OF ROLES AMONG: THE INVINCIBLE EAST; XIAO MAGE AND NING CAICHEN; HE'D PICK...
"Ning Caichen. I like the character and am more familiar with emotional roles."

THREE ADJECTIVES THAT BEST DESCRIBE HIM?
"Active. Curious. Happy."

WHAT WE SAY
He acts and looks almost too good to be true. We need to know if there's depth to his smooth, unruffled surface.

FEARLESS FORECAST
Vincent Ng's failure to win in '95 doesn't bode well for pure brawn.
