the chinese mainland olympic delegation arrived in hong kong at noon today (29th) for a three-day visit. a total of 65 athletes visited hong kong, including the diving team, the table tennis team that won all the gold medals, and medalists in swimming, athletics, badminton and other sports.
after arriving in hong kong, the mainland athletes will hold a press conference in the afternoon and attend the welcome dinner hosted by the sar government tonight. they will participate in the grand performance tomorrow and have a demonstration performance on saturday.
at the intercontinental hotel in tsim sha tsui, where the athletes were staying, iron fences had been erected outside the hotel to mark out a "fan zone". before the mainland athletes arrived, a large number of hong kong citizens were waiting outside the hotel, hoping to see the athletes, and some citizens even prepared large dolls to express their support.
according to reports, the hotel has hosted mainland olympic athletes visiting hong kong four times in the past, and this time it has reserved two floors with more than 90 rooms for the delegation to stay in. the hotel said it would send people to guard the relevant floors, and when athletes enter and leave, staff will form a "human chain" to ensure safety.
