A delegation of mainland Olympic athletes will visit Hong Kong from August 29 to 31. All sectors of Hong Kong society are eagerly looking forward to seeing the athletes and sharing the joy of the Olympics.
Headquarters reporter Ma Yuan: This is the Golden Bauhinia Square in Hong Kong. The Chinese sports delegation at the Paris Olympics set a new record for overseas participation in the Summer Olympics. The Hong Kong delegation also created a historical record of 2 gold medals and 2 bronze medals. The outstanding performance of the Olympic athletes ignited the national pride of the Chinese people, and also set off Olympic craze in Hong Kong, further stimulating the patriotism of Hong Kong people for their country and Hong Kong. The delegation of mainland Olympic athletes visiting Hong Kong this time includes a total of 65 athletes and 8 coaches from 16 sports. There were three public events in the three-day trip, and about 5,300 tickets were sold out in just one hour.
Member of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Yiu Pak-liang: I am very excited at this moment and very looking forward to the visit of our country's gold medal athletes to Hong Kong. This Olympics is the best time for China to participate in overseas competitions, with 40 gold medals. Almost all the gold medalists visited Hong Kong. This really fully demonstrates the care and support of the central government for Hong Kong. I believe that when athletes come to Hong Kong, they will be able to experience the enthusiasm and love of our Hong Kong citizens.
Huang Mingci, General Manager of CTS Bus Hong Kong: The Olympic champion’s visit to Hong Kong proves that the country attaches great importance to Hong Kong, and it also brings greater promotion to the atmosphere of Hong Kong’s next sports. This time, the national athletes achieved such good results in the Paris Olympics. As a Chinese, I feel very proud and proud. This time I am responsible for the transportation support for Olympic champion athletes visiting Hong Kong.
Hong Kong citizen Wang Ruofei: I feel so excited, so excited, and I look forward to meeting them soon, because this opportunity is very rare. For Hong Kong, this is a very encouraging thing.
