Call it a comeback: Chan Ka-ho makes Hong Kong Marathon pact with wife Christy Yiu
Last year’s 10km race winner Chan Ka-ho is running the half marathon in Hong Kong this Sunday for the first time since his stunning win a decade ago
A decade on from his sensational half marathon win in Hong Kong, Chan Ka-ho is making a comeback in the race and has given his wife Christy Yiu Kit-ching a special assignment if he crosses the line first again on Sunday.
“If I win, you have to come as soon as possible as this is going to be a moment to celebrate,” Chan told the Olympian marathon runner in a joint-interview with the Post at Sham Shui Po Sports Ground.
“If not, take your time before we meet at the finish line.”
Yiu, who will be working as a guest television commentator for the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon, said she would cheer for her husband in the studio.
“I can have a better look there and if he wins, I will rush to Victoria Park,” she said.
But Yiu may need to plan out the quickest route to Causeway Bay from the studio in Tseung Kwan O – “By car or the taking the tube?” she asked.
