Hong Kong cycling chiefs have revealed the riders they have charged with living up to the city\u2019s proud National Games history.<\/p>\n

With 23 medals since Hong Kong began competing in 1997, cycling is the city\u2019s most successful Games sport. Wong Kam-po, who claimed five Games medals, won road race gold for Hong Kong\u2019s only prize on their Shanghai debut 28 years ago.<\/p>\n

At the 2021 edition in Shaanxi, cycling accounted for four of Hong Kong\u2019s seven medals. One of those was individual road race gold for Ceci Lee Sze-wing, a dark horse back then but unquestionably the poster girl<\/a> of the squad announced by the Cycling Association of Hong Kong, China (CAHKC) on Friday.<\/p>\n

Currently in Perth for the team\u2019s pre-Games camp, Lee will lead the Hong Kong charge from the outset. Despite Herve Dagorne, the head coach, saying he did \u201cnot want to put all my eggs in one basket\u201d, getting the 24-year-old across the line first is likely to be the goal for the road race on November 9, the Games\u2019 official start date. The flat Zhuhai course should suit Lee\u2019s small and powerful frame.<\/p>\n
