Hong Kong Women Win Asian Games Qualifier

Hong Kong Women’s Field Hockey Team won the Women’s Asian Games  Qualifier in Jakarta to qualify for the upcoming Asian  Games. Hong Kong won 5 of its six matches, conceding just one goal.

The team, coached by Arif Ali, were playing in their first tournament after a two-and-a-half-year covid imposed break.  “Victories aren’t born on the field. You create them during practice even in difficult times and our ladies have proven that” said Ali.  

Co-Captain Evelyn Cheung with 7 goals was the tournament’s top goal scorer.

Hangzhou Asian Games Postponed to 2023

The 19th Asian Games, due to be held in Hangzhou in September, have been postponed to 2023 due to rising COVID-19 cases in China, the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) announced on Friday. The new dates have yet to be confirmed.

“The Hangzhou Asian Games Organising Committee has been very well prepared to deliver the Games on time despite global challenges. However, the above decision was taken by all the stakeholders after carefully considering the pandemic situation and the size of the Games,” the OCA said in a statement.

Hong Kong’s sports sector lawmaker, Kenneth Fok, said it’s a pity that the Asian Games have been postponed, pointing out that athletes have been training for years for the games, “Hopefully, a new schedule can be announced soon so they can re-arrange their training.”
