A delegation of 2024 Paris Olympic Games Mainland Olympians, including 22 athletes and three coaches, met members of the disciplined services and auxiliary services, as well as their youth uniformed groups, today.

Held at the Fire & Ambulance Services Academy, the event involved some 900 participants.

In an opening speech, Secretary for Security Tang Ping-keung remarked that members of the public will be able to vividly recall the moments when they watched the Mainland Olympians strive for honours for the country. Acknowledging the athletes’ resilience, skills, and selflessness in contributing to the country, he said these are qualities that are shared by the disciplined services.

He also expressed hope that members of the disciplined services and youth uniformed groups would take the chance to learn from the Olympians, while showing them the highest respect and admiration.

During the event, the Mainland Olympians – representing 10 different sports – displayed their skills and shared their experiences with the audience.

In a subsequent group activity, the heads of various services, along with members of the services and of the youth uniformed groups, formed teams with the athletes to pull special-purpose vehicles and a fixed-wing aircraft, in a demonstration of co-operation.
