Tokyo Olympics | Li Haoqing sighs that there are not enough Taiwanese to surround a table with 4 people to play at the Shatian Table Tennis Center.

The Hong Kong team achieved one gold, two silver and two bronze medals in the Tokyo Olympics. The women's table tennis team won the bronze, and it is the first Olympic medal for the women's table tennis team. However, the table tennis team has been facing the problem of insufficient training venues.

Li Haoqing, one of the women's team bronze medal representatives, said today (12th) that Hong Kong has a limited number of table tennis tables for training and often requires "four people to play with one table." Therefore, he proposed to the government to build a new facility building for the Institute of Physical Education, which has the opportunity to expand. The table tennis hall is happy.

Yu Guoliang, Chairman of the Hong Kong Table Tennis Association, revealed that the General Table Tennis Association has applied to the government for more than ten years and hopes to build a training venue for the General Table Tennis Association. Good news has been received earlier that the government intends to provide a piece of land on To Shek Street, Sha Tin. , There will be a training ground with about 30 tables.

There is a difference between the sports training field and the official game field. The speed and rhythm of the ball are different.

Lin Zhaoheng, a representative Hong Kong table tennis player who entered the top 16 in the Tokyo Olympic Men's Singles, said that the Hong Kong table tennis venue needs to be improved because it is far from the official venue.

He explained that in larger arenas, the speed and rhythm of the ball are different from those in smaller ones.

Therefore, the situation during their official competition is different from that during practice in the sports academy. "If the sports academy has the same space under the floor, it will be closer to the competition environment."

Expansion of the Sports Institute Building Li Jing is delighted: Don’t let four people surround a table to play

Li Jing, coach of the Hong Kong Table Tennis Delegation, said that the government’s expansion of the new building is a good thing, at least it can increase the number of tables.

Li Haoqing also pointed out that Hong Kong’s training venues are "incomparable" to the national team. "There are so many venues that are much closer to the big venues for official competitions." She also pointed out that there are more and more young and grass-roots athletes nowadays, and they need to be taken seriously. There is a shortage of tables, so I am very happy to expand the arena in the future.

Table Tennis General Strives for Over 10 Years, Sha Tin Table Tennis Center Is Expected To Open Next Year

Yu Guoliang, chairman of the Hong Kong Table Tennis Association, said that there are currently insufficient tables in Hong Kong, and the table tennis training venues for the national team far surpass those of sports academies.

Yu Guoliang also pointed out that the government intends to provide a piece of land to build a table tennis center on To Shek Street in Sha Tin to provide about 30 tables.

He said that when there are venues in the future, there will be no need to rent places from the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, and the general manager will be more flexible.

Yu also revealed that he has applied to the government for more than ten years and is now discussing with the Lands Department and the Home Affairs Bureau. He hopes that construction can start this year and be available next year.

He also pointed out that before the Olympics, the Home Affairs Bureau had agreed in principle to provide venues. Although the government had suggested other places, none of them were suitable.
