Terrific performance at World Taijiquan Championships from Hong Kong athletes
|
Hong Kong won an impressive 18 medals at the 2nd World Taijiquan Championships held in Warsaw, Poland on 14 - 20 October: 7 gold and 11 silver.
It was a big improvement on their performance at the inaugural event in Chengdu two years ago, when the team took home eight medals (two gold).
Among the team's standouts were Debbie Yeung, who won two gold and a silver, and Hui Tak-yan and Sat Pak-long, with a gold and two silver each.
HKSI's Head Wushu Coach Liu Tao was delighted with the results and cheered for a "breakthrough in this year's championships".
"Their performance was perfect, especially as there were stricter score deduction criteria," he added.
"The taijiquan team was formed only in 2014, but they've already achieved outstanding results in international competitions and made a big improvement in these two years."
Hong Kong sent four men and four women to compete in 24 events at the championships.
"The secret of our success was more systematic training," added Liu. "They trained with mainland teams such as the Guangdong team and we invited an expert from the Beijing Sport University to guide them once or twice a year."
"All the efforts paid off with and were shown in the results." Coach Liu said he was especially pleased with the performance of the young team."
Liu came to Hong Kong in 2012 and during these years, one of his main focuses has been guiding the transition between the older and younger generation.
"This year's Asian Championships was the first time almost no 'old' athletes competed," he added. "Out of 12, 10 were young, and the other two were only a bit 'older'."
"And most of them were locally born and bred, the development of young local athletes is good.
"Our major target is to get a good result in Taijiquan, Nanquan and Changquan at the 2018 Asian Games."
The event attracted over 300 competitors from 31 countries and regions.

Teenager Mak Cheuk-wing is hailed as hero after landing junior windsurfing world title |
Thirteen-year-old Mak Cheuk-wing was the centre of attention after becoming world champion in the Girls U15 event at the Techno 293 World Championship held on 22 - 29 October in Lake Garda, Italy.
Mak returned to a hero's welcome and was mobbed by reporters at Hong Kong airport.
She beated several older rivals to win Hong Kong's first world title in the Techno class and paid tribute to her coaches."Coach Cheng Hing-lun always pushes me to train harder and coach Cheng Kwok-fai here in Garda helped me fine-tune my skills and tactics before racing," said Mak.
She also thanked her parents for supporting her and allowing her to do a sport that she loves. "Every time I go to practice, my father would be waiting for me on the shore, such support makes me more motivated," she added.
HKSAR Chief Executive CY Leung was among those congratulating her, calling her Hong Kong's "new star" on his Facebook page.

Hong Kong men champions of rugby's Asian Sevens Series |
Hong Kong's men's rugby team were crowned Asian Sevens Series champions for the third time in five years after winning all three legs of the series.
Hong Kong triumphed at home, in South Korea and in Sri Lanka to top the standings by nine points over Sri Lanka.
The win gives them a place in the qualifying tournament for the World Rugby Sevens Series at the Hong Kong Sevens in April, and also the opportunity to face the world's top teams at the Singapore Sevens the following week.
Hong Kong narrowly lost out to Japan in last year's World Series qualifier and will be hoping to go one better and join the world's elite teams.
"There is no magic recipe," HKSI's Head Rugby Coach Gareth Baber said."It is about gradual improvement and generating the learning within the players and surrounding them with a good environment and giving them the opportunity to develop."
"We have just got to keep working as coaches and players to develop our squad and put a game together that can match the rest of the world when it comes to trying to get on to a world series."
And there was another medal for Hong Kong rugby as the women's team finished third overall in their series.
