The audiences applauded the athletes for their superb sports demonstrations, which have deeply impressed Hong Kong citizens.

     Besides giving sports demonstrations, the Mainland Olympians in badminton, gymnastics, fencing and table tennis also took part in skills exchanges with their Hong Kong counterparts. At the swimming and diving demonstrations, the Mainland Olympians in diving, swimming, rowing and canoeing had a friendly chat with local young athletes.
