The 11th National Games of the People's Republic of China
The 11th National Games of the People's Republic of China were held in Shandong Province from October 16 to 28, 2009. Held every four years, the National Games are China's highest level multi-sport event, and this was the fourth time that the HKSAR Government (HKSARG) has taken part. Sports celebrities, members of the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China (SF&OC) and related government officials served on the organising committee that prepared the HKSAR delegation to the Games. The Department provided secretariat support for all competition-related, administrative and logistics arrangements.
The HKSARG sent about 230 athletes and 110 officials to the Games, the largest delegation ever to compete in the finals of 25 competition events. Our athletes won seven medals in the cycling, equestrian and triathlon events, including two gold, one silver and four bronze medals, the highest number Hong Kong has ever achieved at the Games.
