Saga surrounding decision to limit entries to only sides that had top-8 finish at Paris Olympics or Asian Games has been resolved
The saga surrounding the decision over which Hong Kong teams could compete at the National Games has been completely resolved, top government officials revealed on Saturday.
Manda Chan Wing-man, director of Leisure and Cultural Services, said new criteria had been “agreed and passed”, adding that local National Sports Associations were now satisfied with the changes.
A row had previously broken out over the decision by the city’s organising committee that only sports whose teams finished in the top eight at either the Paris Olympics last year or the Asian Games in 2023 could enter multiple sides in team events not being staged in Hong Kong.
