Large squad poised for National Championships, with qualification for November’s Games races up for grabs
Hong Kong’s triathletes have been told to prepare for a stern test of their National Games medal credentials when they face the cream of the mainland crop in this weekend’s China National Championships.
“This will be a much closer reflection of how the National Games will look,” Wright said. “For the provinces, it’s not as important as the Games, but there’s a lot of pride involved.
“Most of the mainland athletes used the test event to see the course. They all tried in the relay, but it looked to me like a lot of them weren’t trying in the individual races.”
Having not seen a course map for Xuzhou until a few days ago, Wright underlined the advantage of November’s Games races being staged in Hong Kong.
