Issues to fix for National Games cross-border races, says Hong Kong official
Trial runs for cross-border races at the upcoming National Games have revealed the need for better support for trailing athletes and improved communication among escort personnel at boundary checkpoints. This was highlighted by Yeung Tak-keung, head of Hong Kong’s coordination office, following test runs for road cycling and marathon events.
The 15th National Games, co-hosted by Hong Kong, Guangdong province, and Macau in November, will feature eight events in Hong Kong. Yeung noted communication gaps between Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Shenzhen during the cycling race, particularly concerning monitoring and support for athletes who fell behind the main group, suggesting a need for more manpower or technology to address this.
