Eight gymnasts from Hong Kong, China will compete in the upcoming Asian Games in Nagoya, representing the region in rhythmic gymnastics, trampoline, and artistic gymnastics. Li Ting-huen, a 18-year-old athlete, will make her debut in her first Asian Games and first rhythmic gymnastics competition. Li expressed her excitement and readiness for the event, mentioning that her previous participation in National Games and Asian Championships has helped her overcome nervousness on stage.
Ng Ka-ki, another member of the team, will compete in the men's vault event. Ng recently returned from a two-month training stint in Beijing, where he trained with national team gymnasts and participated in team tests. The experience was valuable to him and he is now focused on enjoying his time at the Games. Head coach Sergiy Agafontsev stated that the squad is ready to perform their best in Nagoya.
Agafontsev also expressed hope that the public would appreciate the athletes' preparation and training rather than focusing too much on the results. The gymnastics competitions at the Nagoya Asian Games will begin on Monday.
