In a post-coronavirus world, is the future of Hong Kong sport in keeping it local?
- Spartan races are the first to announce a return to action in a post-coronavirus Hong Kong sport scene
- The new landscape will look very different for a number of Hong Kong sporting events
It has been a long year in the Hong Kong sporting calendar but finally there are signs of life.
This weekend sees the return of organised amateur football, at the end of a week where the city’s hardtop football and basketball pitches were reopened along with government-run artificial turf pitches.
We also saw event organisers beginning to get back to some sense of normalcy, whatever that might look like, in the weeks and months to come.
First up is the Chinese Recreation Club’s Elite Invitational, where a number of Hong Kong’s top players will battle it out at the safe social distance of the length of a tennis court.
This will take place in Causeway Bay in July and, although organisers confirmed that the decision to allow tennis fans in will be taken at a later date in line with government guidelines, it is a positive step and a reason for hope.
