Hong Kong Alpine skier Adrian Yung Hau-tsuen will be hoping to shake off the nerves from his debut outing last weekend in time for his men’s slalom run on Wednesday morning. The 17-year-old was disappointed not to have completed his men’s giant slalom run at a frigid Yanqing National Alpine Skiing Centre on Sunday. Capping the record-breaking Hong Kong delegation’s last event of the Games, the discipline’s youngest entrant still eyes his “top 50” goal set from his Bosnia training camp last month. With comparatively less snow and more sun forecast, Yung and head coach Marko Rudic will go in with new-found confidence. “I think I will ski better in the slalom,” Yung said after bowing out having lost a ski in his giant slalom attempt. “I need to control my nerves and find a way to ski on this snow. I hadn’t skied on this type previously. The competition snow is harder and icier so I had no confidence and couldn’t ski well. “I guess it wasn’t meant to be,” added former junior British champion Yung , vowing he would spend his time between the slopes and gym before his last event. Ski Association of Hong Kong chairman, Edmond Yue Kwok-yin, is optimistic Yung can end his Beijing campaign on a high - and a concrete time. “Adrian seems to have fully recovered from the mistakes made in the last giant slalom run,” said Yue. “Adjusting to milder weather and snow surface, coach [Rudic] is also expecting a smoother run from Adrian in the slalom event.” Norway’s Sebastian Foss-Solevaag and Lucas Braathen are considered heavy favourites for the event as FIS performances in the last two months have put them atop the World Cup standings. Hong Kong skiing teammate Audrey King narrowly missed out in the women’s slalom with a DNF last week, while local short-track speed skater Sidney Chu finished 24th out of 32 in his men’s 500m event. Yung and King’s Olympic campaign was impacted by the latter’s positive Covid-19 test upon arrival in Beijing two weeks ago, with the pair and coach Rudic forced to miss training for two days to undergo hotel quarantine. The men’s slalom qualifying run is scheduled to start on Wednesday at 10.15am, with the medal run at 1.45pm.
