Youths of the 18 districts showed their skills and strived for honour at the 18 Districts Rope Skipping Competition today (November 5) at Hong Kong Park Sports Centre.
 
     Organised by the Youth Programme Co-ordinating Committee (YPCC) under the Commission on Youth and co-organised by the Home Affairs Department and the District Youth Programme Committees of the 18 districts, the competition was one of the major territory-wide youth programmes of the year.
 
     In addition, the Hong Kong Rope Skipping Delegation, which won many medals in the Ninth Asian Rope Skipping Championships in Incheon, Korea, this year, was invited to give demonstrations and exchange skills with the youths so they could spread positive energy together.

     The guests presenting awards at the competition were the Director of Home Affairs, Miss Janice Tse; Deputy Director of Home Affairs, Miss Charmaine Wong; and the Convenor of the YPCC, Mr Jonathan Chan.
