In recent years, Hong Kong athletes have excelled in international sports events, motivating more people to take an interest in sport.

Playing sports can help one develop team spirit, leadership skills, endurance and a sense of commitment. Of course, it also keeps one healthy.

The Hong Kong Sports Development Board (http://www. hksdb.org.hk/) is responsible for promoting the development of sport and physical recreation in Hong Kong.
Every year, a number of territory-wide education programmes (http://www.hksdb. org.hk/function/comm_sport. htm) are organised to promote good health.
The board also provides comprehensive training for ath letes (http://www.hksdb.org. hk/athletes/right.htm), such as coaching education, support for sports associations and awards to recognise individuals' efforts in different sports.
Apart from windsurfing and cycling, Hong Kong athletes also excel in other sports. A medal- winning list (http://www. hksdb.org.hk/athletes/medal. htm) provides details of awards won by Hong Kong athletes in open competitions.
