Ten SAR wushu athletes to compete at Asian Games

The Hong Kong wushu team has selected ten athletes to participate in the upcoming Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan. Head coach Lam Hong-kwai reported that the squad members, consisting of six males and four females, have been undergoing intensive training across various regions of the mainland in preparation for the Games, which commence on Sunday.

Juanita Mok, a veteran competitor, will compete for the third time at the Asian Games. She secured a silver medal in taijiquan during her debut at the 2018 Games held in Jakarta and anticipates enjoying her fourth appearance. Mok expressed her excitement about the varied and rhythmic routines she will perform at the upcoming event.

Lydia Sham, who has triumphed in numerous world-level competitions, will concentrate on the women's changquan event. She emphasized that dedicating her efforts to a single discipline will enable her to refine her technique and execute smoother movements. Lau Chi-lung, who will represent Hong Kong for the second time at the Asian Games, will compete in the men's combined nanquan and nangun event.

The Hong Kong wushu team, which won two silver and one bronze medal at the Hangzhou Games in 2019, will not have any medalists participating in Nagoya.
