Semuel Shing Sau-ping, executive director of the organising committee for the event, said he was sure Hong Kong would perform well although they were fielding a junior side.

Indoor cycling is a completely different discipline to road or track racing as it involves balancing skills.

The sport is divided into two disciplines, artistic and cycle-ball.

Hong Kong's hopes hinge on three siblings - brothers Yu Hok-yee, 15, and Yu Sum-yee, 13, and their sister Yu Lok-chee, 14.

'We have a good chance of winning a medal in the men's pair (artistic) and the women's junior (artistic) sections with the Yu youngsters spearheading our challenge,' Shing said.
