Hong Kong authorities will conduct the last rounds of testing and finalisation of details for the National Games to be held in November, Chief Executive John Lee said on Saturday.
In a 100-day countdown ceremony, Lee said the city has held a number of test events over the past year for the upcoming sporting extravaganza and detailed the next step of preparations.
"Over the next 100 days, we will focus on streamlining the process for competitions, refining service arrangements, strengthening safety measures, and conducting final tests and rehearsals for various venues and scenarios," he said.
"That's to build a platform of fair competition for athletes and create an unforgettable experience for spectators."
For the first time, Hong Kong is co-hosting the Games, which will begin on November 9, along with Macau and Guangdong.
The chief executive was set to travel to Shenzhen in the evening to attend a separate countdown ceremony for the Games.

National Games shaping up to be a milestone in Greater Bay Area integration
The role of sport in bringing people closer together is well recognised. It is not confined to international competition between countries and individuals. Sport can cement national and regional unity. The coming National Games in the Greater Bay Area, in which Hong Kong has a prominent role as a co-host, is a case in point. The 100-day countdown to the opening ceremony began at the weekend. The high-level observance and fanfare in Greater Bay Area cities is testament to elevated expectations of Hong Kong and other co-hosts. Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu, attending both the local and Shenzhen countdown ceremonies, pledged that Hong Kong would provide an ' unforgettable experience'. The games, from November 9 to 21, will showcase more than 400 events across 34 sports, with Hong Kong hosting eight – fencing, men's under-22 basketball, track cycling, golf, men's handball, rugby sevens, triathlon and beach volleyball, plus two cross-border events – the marathon and road cycling – that will be co-hosted with Macau and Guangdong. In terms of cross-border arrangements and logistics involving athletes, officials and spectators, the games are looming as a bigger test than the mega-event debut of Kai Tak Stadium. The government expects 100,000 visitors from the mainland and overseas, accounting for up to 25 per cent of spectators. Coordinating the logistics across multiple venues will be a challenge. Thankfully, many young people have already answered the call for volunteers. The games are shaping up to be a milestone in Hong Kong's regional and national integration. Lee is in no doubt about their importance in putting the city on the global and regional sporting map. He pledged to focus on optimising the competition, refining services and strengthening safety.

Hong Kong cycling medal hope Ceci Lee shows National Games promise in Australia
Ceci Lee Sze-wing has delivered a timely reminder of her potential to become Hong Kong's National Games poster girl, as the city began its 100-day countdown to co-hosting the showpiece. The cyclist claimed a notable victory in a criterium race on Saturday in Brisbane, where the Hong Kong team are holding a month-long training camp. And on Sunday, Lee, 24, was second behind teammate Chloe Leung Wing-yee in a nip-and-tuck road race. Although Lee is desperately keen to take omnium gold in her hometown in November, she has been busily refining her road skills under endurance coach Ben Kersten. Not that she lacks pedigree for it: in 2021, Lee stunned a high-class field to become Hong Kong's first National Games road race champion at the age of 20. 'I'm learning more about how to find a good position for the final sprint, but also how my teammates can help me do that,' Lee said. 'The best teams form a good chain for a lead-out, and we're working on it a lot for the National Games. The course will be nearly all flat, so it's very likely to be a bunch sprint at the end.'

HK waiting for athletes' list in National Games race
HK waiting for athletes' list in National Games race Yeung Tak-keung expects the list of mainland athletes will be confirmed by early next month. File photo: RTHK The Hong Kong official in charge of the coordinating office for the National Games on Monday said it is waiting for the mainland to decide which athletes will be sent to compete in the events that will be staged in the SAR so that it can refine the competition schedule. Hong Kong will co-host its first National Games in November with Guangdong and Macau. Of the 34 sporting events featured in the Games, eight, including basketball, fencing and golf, will be held here. With less than 100 days to go, Yeung Tak-keung told an RTHK radio programme that his office will fine-tune its preparations. "The mainland has to hold trial or qualifying competitions to determine the list of teams and athletes who will come to Hong Kong to compete," he said. "Once there is a list, groupings will be carried out, and then the competition schedule will be refined, for example, to decide when to carry out the preliminary rounds, which teams will play against each other, etc. "These details are very important for us in organising the competitions." He expects the list will be ready by early next month. By then, Yeung said, his office can arrange accommodation and transport for the athletes. He also said that tens of thousands of volunteers will be assigned to carry out on-site trainings in the next three months. Yeung added final testing for ticket sales is under way and that an announcement will be made "very soon".
