Mr Yeung said, "Young Hong Kong athletes showcased their indomitable spirit and gave full play to their strengths at the NSYG. We are thrilled by their exemplary performances. Carrying on the tradition established by their predecessors and seizing the opportunities to accumulate valuable experiences, these athletes have reached new heights and will become pillars of Hong Kong's sports sector. I hope they will continue to challenge themselves and achieve more accomplishments in future."
