***************************
Cheering squad members urging on teams with dances, prances, stunts and chants swept the sporting world first as entertainers, but are now considered serious athletes in their own right. Hong Kong Cheer Union is keen to develop the sport in Hong Kong and the region.
At its first competition, the Asia Pacific Challenge, news.gov.hk met with the union and Hong Kong cheerleading team members to learn more about this recent trend. The story appears on news.gov.hk today (July 6) in both text and video format.
