HONG KONG, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- The visiting Chinese
gold medallists displayed their superb sports skills again in Hong Kong on
Saturday morning, whose performance impressed over 5,000 Hong Kong spectators
face to face as well as tens of thousands of viewers through TV live broadcasts.
The enthusiasm for the Olympic Games was rekindled in
Hong Kong as Chinese mainland's Olympic gold medallists on Saturday made their
appearances and met the public. As part of their visit to Hong Kong, the
delegation of Chinese mainland's Olympic gold medallists put on demonstrations
of table tennis, badminton, diving and gymnastics.
More than 5,000 people watched their performance at
the four venues of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of Hong Kong
government, while tens of thousands of viewers watched the TV live broadcasts at
home or elsewhere.
The gold medallists also had exchanges with young Hong Kong athletes. Some of the participants, selected by drawing lots, took part in the sports-for-fun sessions with the medallists in table tennis, badminton and gymnastics.
