Elite Sports

In an important step towards consolidating support for elite-level sport, Elite Sports were introduced to enhance the opportunities to win medals in international competitions. Each of the elite Sports receives assured support from the HKSI throughout a four-year cycle. The range of Elite Sports, with effect from April 2007, includes: Badminton, Cycling, Fencing, Rowing, Squash, Swimming, Table Tennis, Tenpin Bowling, Triathlon, Windsurfing and Wushu.

Through the HKSI, comprehensive support is given to each Elite Sport which includes world-class coaching staff, facilities usage, local and overseas training and competition and full technical support.

To provide a broader base for the development of individual and popular/team sports, discussions on the criteria for funding to sport held to review how resources can be best allocated to raise the overall standard of sport.
