City’s team establish Yunnan altitude base as squad train around globe ahead of Asian championships and National Games
Hong Kong head coach Andrew Wright has hailed an “awesome” development after his athletes were granted unlimited access to a high-performance altitude centre in the mainland Chinese province of Yunnan.
Wright’s bosses this week penned a memorandum of understanding with the Yuxi Municipal Education and Sports Bureau, which established a training site roughly 1,630 metres (5,350 feet) above sea level for Hong Kong.
Chau Chiu-nam, president of the Triathlon Association of Hong Kong, China, said using the venue would “enhance athletes’ endurance and adaptability”, as well as deliver a preparation boost for November’s all-important National Games.
