Hong Kong athletes are gearing up for a busy year ahead, with major targets including the Asian Games and the Asian Para Games. Seizing the moment, the HKSI opened its doors for an Open Day that attracted thousands of members of the public.
Visitors set foot in the elite training base, learned how athletes train and prepare for competition, and gained an insider’s view of the city’s high performance sports system and its day‑to‑day work. Proudly title sponsored by the Bank of Communications (Hong Kong) (BOCOM), the event featured sports try-outs, talent identification tests, the HKSI Zone, guided tours, meet with athletes, and live demonstrations.
At the Welcoming Ceremony, Mr Tang King-shing GBS PDSM, Chairman of the HKSI, thanked the BOCOM for its steadfast support, noting the shared commitment to bringing positive energy to the community through sport. He also expressed gratitude to the Government, the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China, the China Hong Kong Paralympic Committee, the national sports associations and partners for their close partnership with the HKSI in providing comprehensive support that enables athletes to devote themselves fully to training and to continue achieving on the international stage.
Elite athletes joined the Welcoming Ceremony, including Pak Hoi-man (Athletics), Yeung Cho-yiu (Cycling), Ho Sze-long (Fencing), Tang Yu-hin (Karatedo), Ng Cheuk-yan (Para Swimming), Wong Sheung-yee (Rowing), Lee Ka-to (Rugby Sevens), Ho Tze-lok (Squash), Tam Hoi-lam (Swimming) and Yeung Chung-hei (Wushu). Several athletes also shared their personal journeys, offering insights into what it takes to become an elite athlete and glimpses into their training lives.
Rugby sevens gold medallist at the 15th National Games, Lee Ka-to, affirmed HKSI’s support for elite athletes, “Winning a historic National Games gold owed a great deal to the HKSI. Rugby is a high‑contact sport with frequent collisions; the HKSI’s medical team has consistently supported us in and out of competition, ensuring we compete in peak condition.”
Fencer Ho Sze-long, a National Games silver medallist, added: “Alongside fencing sessions, we train at the Fitness Training Centres and use scientific testing to quantify and monitor training with precision. The Athlete Restaurant also supports us day‑to‑day, with clear nutrition labelling that helps us fuel appropriately for training and competition.”
Para swimmer Ng Cheuk‑yan, a double silver medallist at the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities, shared her thanks with the community, “At last year’s Games, I truly felt the encouragement of the public and received many uplifting messages. As I look ahead to the Asian Para Games in October, I hope Hong Kong will continue to stand behind the athletes. Your encouragement remains an important source of motivation.”
Across the venue, 14 national sports associations hosted try‑out booths spanning a range of sports. Highlights included golf and taekwondo, which were promoted to Tier A Sports last year, and lacrosse, making its debut at the Open Day and giving the public an early taste of one of Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games new team events.
Guides also led groups through the HKSI’s core training facilities, including the newly opened New Facilities Building, offering a first‑hand look at an integrated high performance hub that brings together sports medicine, sports science, strength and conditioning and specific sports training, lifting the curtain on how Hong Kong’s elite sport pathway operates behind the scenes.
Beyond the tours, interactive elements proved a hit. The HKSI Zone’s sports science games and DIY workshops made learning playful for families. The most challenging attraction for many was the HKSI Talent Identification & Development Unit’s fitness testing, which helped participants understand their physical profiles and discover their athletic potential. Live demonstration sessions also drew crowds. Athletes showcased their sports techniques, then stayed on to share training insights with kids. Adding a different rhythm to the day, the Chill Band, formed by the HKSI athletes, made its Open Day debut to warm applause, with many visitors soon cheering like newfound fans.
