Standard Chartered Larson 2020 has been cancelled due to the new crown pneumonia. The 2021 event was originally scheduled to be held on January 24, but the third wave of the epidemic broke out. According to the South China Morning Post, the chairman of the Hong Kong Amateur Athletics Association Guan Qi did not rule out the postponement of the event. Until April. "01 Sports" inquired about Guan Qi on this matter, and he expects to announce the latest plan in late August.

Zama 2020 was originally scheduled to be held on February 9 this year, but due to the first wave of the epidemic, the tournament announced the cancellation of this year's event in late January, and the place could be reserved until 2021. In May, the tournament will post new news on social networking sites. The next year's tournament is scheduled for January 24, 2021.

However, the details of the next year's event have yet to be announced. The epidemic has already exploded for the third wave, and the annual book fair and sports and leisure exhibition will be cancelled. When interviewed by the South China Morning Post, Guan Qi made no secret that he was "very worried" about Zama next year. He has been closely following the development of the epidemic and may change to April. In response to "01 Sports", Guan Qi said that he would take a wait-and-see attitude towards the rescheduling of Zama, and would consult runners and discuss with relevant organizations: "We still have time to'finalize'. It is not easy to hold large-scale competitions. We must cooperate with various departments, and I believe that the latest news will be announced in late August.” He added that the club’s current priority is to postpone the game and does not rule out taking epidemic prevention measures during the game. “I hope everything remains the same, but it will still follow suit. The government requires it to proceed."

It is reported that April is the most likely and fastest "candidate period" considering the Victoria Park schedule, Lunar New Year holidays, traffic conditions and weather. The other period may be October 2021.

🥇 The 2021 season was announced earlier, and it was promoted by Hong Kong record holders Huang Yinjun and Yao Kitchen 🥇

If it is to be held in January next year, the competition will be open for registration at the latest in September to allow enough time for preparation. Therefore, whether it is scheduled or postponed, it is expected that the game will have to announce new news next month.

I hereby appeal that the epidemic is severe and citizens should reduce their outings to reduce the risk of infection. The government announced the latest anti-epidemic measures on July 27 and temporarily implemented them until August 4, which mainly include:

1. Outdoor public places, must wear a mask

2. Restriction order reduced to two

3. All catering premises prohibit dine-in, except for certain premises

4. All sports premises and swimming pools must be closed
