More Hong Kong success for Ceci Lee, but coach downplays feats ahead of China Championships
Hong Kong's best rider ruthlessly dominated a five-woman field to win the four-discipline omnium by a mammoth 29 points from nearest challenger Guardiola Cheung Li-tong. The 24-year-old Lee was similarly authoritative in claiming elimination race gold from second-placed Boey Leung Bo-yee.
'There was such a big gap in level after her, and it was a very small group,' Dagorne said. 'The pace was slow and we cannot analyse anything from it.'
Chu Tsun-wai, who will turn 24 next Wednesday, pipped Tso Kai-kwong to victory in a stacked 23-rider men's omnium. He returned to finish sixth in an elimination race where top honours were claimed by Ng Pak-hang, who added to the Hong Kong International Track Cup scratch race gold he won in April.
'The men's races were very competitive, there were points available for National Games selection and Chu performed strongly,' Dagorne said.

The local championships continue with the sprint, scratch, keirin and points disciplines over the weekend, before the Hong Kong squad relocate to Shanghai on Monday for the China Track National Championships from July 10 to 16.

Hong Kong ready to finally make Rugby World Cup dream a reality, says skipper Josh Hrstich
Hong Kong have come through a final training session in South Korea unscathed, and go into their final game of the Asia Rugby Emirates Men's Championship on Saturday at full strength. There is no hiding what is at stake. Win, and they qualify for the 2027 World Cup in Australia, and captain Josh Hrstich said it was something he had been dreaming about for a long time. The 35-year-old called the prospect of reaching the pinnacle of the sport 'a dream come true' and said it was 'really hard to put into words' what it meant. 'I dream about it all the time … working really hard to make sure it can become a reality, and the guys are all doing the same thing,' he said. He is not the only one dreaming, and some have been at it for longer. Alex Post, the hooker, made his debut for the team against Kenya in 2016 and will earn his 23rd cap in Incheon, while centre Ben Axten-Burrett will claim his 22nd.
