Lo competed for the Singaporean sailing squad, as a 20-year-old, in the inaugural [[Sailing at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Laser Radial|Laser Radial]] class at the [[2008 Summer Olympics]] in [[Beijing]]. A few months earlier, she was selected over the quota recipient [[Elizabeth Yin]] to lock the country's top Laser Radial spot for the Games, based on her performance in a series of international regattas approved by the Singapore Sailing Federation.<ref name=lo-man-yi/> Lo endured most of the races with mediocre scores, before finding her solace to beat the rest of the sailors for the third spot on the last leg. Lo's best result, however, was not enough to excel her towards the top of the scoreboard, sitting her in the twenty-fifth position with a net grade of 148.<ref>{{cite web|title=Beijing 2008: Women's Laser Radial Class |url=http://www.2008.nbcolympics.com/sailing/resultsandschedules/rsc=SAW103000/standings.html|work=[[Beijing 2008]]|publisher=[[NBC Olympics]]|access-date=5 September 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120728182004/http://www.2008.nbcolympics.com/sailing/resultsandschedules/rsc%3DSAW103000/standings.html|archive-date=28 July 2012|df=}}</ref>
