64 members of the squad are in the region, and that includes 42 medalists, who received a warm welcome upon their arrival at the airport.

As part of their visit to Hong Kong, the delegation will put on demonstrations involving several Olympic sports, including table tennis, badminton, diving and gymnastics in Queen Elizabeth Stadium and Victoria Park.

More than five-thousand people have already bought tickets for the events. The medalists will also interact with young Hong Kong athletes and the public. The delegation will leave for Macao on Monday afternoon for more events there.
