The foundation laying ceremony of the new facility building of the Hong Kong Institute of physical education was held on the 7th. The chief executive of the Hong Kong SAR, Carrie Lam, said that after the new building is completed, the Sports Institute will provide better and more comprehensive support to Hong Kong athletes. Mrs Lam attended the ceremony on the same day and said in her speech that in the past five years, the SAR government has spared no effort in supporting the development of elite athletes by injecting funds into the "elite athletes development fund" to strengthen athletes' training and support services. Although the COVID-19 has brought major challenges to all sectors of society, the Special Administrative Region government has designated the sports institute to continue its operation and supported the Institute to implement a series of comprehensive epidemic prevention measures so that athletes can continue their training in a safe environment. Looking to the future, Carrie Lam said that Hong Kong's sports development will usher in many exciting news. For example, the Kai Tak Sports Park, which will be completed in 2023, will provide a venue for international events; In 2025, Hong Kong will co host the 15th National Games with Guangdong and Macao. It is reported that the new facility building of the Hong Kong Sports Institute is three stories high, with several multi-purpose training grounds and elite training technology centers, which aims to provide a world-class training environment for Hong Kong elite athletes and help athletes achieve good results in the international sports arena.
