Hong Kong announced its record-breaking Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics delegation on Monday, with Sports Federation and Olympic Committee (SF&OC) president Timothy Fok Tsun-ting hoping for a “memorable” outing in “our capital city”.

A total of 13 people, spearheaded by three athletes – the most Hong Kong will have sent to a Winter Games, and the first across more than one sport – will represent the city in alpine skiing and short-track speedskating between February 4 to 20.

Olympic debutants Sidney Chu (500m short-track speed skate), Audrey King (women’s slalom) and Adrian Yung Hau-tsuen (men’s slalom and giant slalom) will be guided by head coaches Sun Dandan and Marko Rudic, both of whom are former Olympians for China and Bosnia, respectively.

In addition, three national Olympic committee representatives including Fok, three headquarters officials and two medical staff will travel with the team.
