The Hong Kong Federation and Olympic Committee issued guidelines for playing the national anthem and raising the national flag to several sports associations on Tuesday (22nd), stating that if the national anthem is played before the game and the national anthem is played incorrectly, the athletes and team leaders must do "T" Gesture, indicating the need to pause and express dissatisfaction.

Hong Kong Association and Olympic Committee Voluntary Secretary-General Wang Minchao said on a radio program today (25th) that athletes and team leaders have to make gestures when they hear the wrong national anthem.

Regarding whether the club will be sanctioned if it fails to follow the guidelines, he pointed out that the punishment depends on the situation. If the team leader makes a serious mistake, the contract will be terminated, and even the management of the club will be suspended from participating in the conference.


Wang Minchao pointed out that when athletes and team leaders hear the wrong national anthem playing before the competition, they should immediately make a "T" gesture. I believe it will not take more than a few tens of seconds at most. Make up your own mind how to handle it.

("T" hand gesture) I didn't drive for a few seconds, it was very easy to make a gesture, and it was done very quickly, if (another song) left the scene without stopping.

Regarding whether to withdraw directly once leaving the field, Wang Minchao pointed out that if the organizer improves immediately, he can re-enter the competition, but if there is no improvement, he will withdraw from the competition. Make appropriate arrangements for athletes.

Will there be more pressure on the team leader to deal with matters related to the national flag and national anthem?

Wang Minchao said, "The team leader himself has to handle a lot of work, and he has to handle it."

If the team leader or the members of the club fail to follow the guidelines, whether to be punished depends on the seriousness, "If the first level falls, if it is serious, there will be corresponding punishment. If it is serious, the contract may be terminated. It is better than leading a team." As for the responsibility of the management, he pointed out that the seriousness could make the management suspend handling the conference affairs.

However, when asked if it would affect the participation of athletes, he said, "It's not just those in power who can register for the competition, other people you know should go and help sign up for the competition."
