In the bustling streets of Hong Kong SAR, two athletes are redefining dedication. Tse Wing Fai, a fitness center operator, and Ip Kwun Ying, a full-time physiotherapist, spend their nights perfecting handball strategies at Kai Tak Sports Park – the historic venue set to host the 15th National Games this year.
Their journey embodies the spirit of amateur athletes across Asia: balancing professional careers with elite sports ambitions. "Handball isn’t just a game – it’s where we find our true selves," Ip told local media during a late-night training session.
The upcoming documentary Game On, Kai Tak! promises an intimate look at their preparation, showcasing how the duo manages 18-hour days while representing Hong Kong SAR in China’s premier multi-sport event. Their story coincides with the region’s growing emphasis on sports infrastructure, as Kai Tak Sports Park becomes the first Hong Kong venue to host National Games competitions.
With 40+ teams expected across 15 sports categories, the Games highlight both athletic excellence and the mainland’s commitment to regional sporting development. For Tse and Ip, it’s a chance to prove that passion and perseverance can thrive alongside professional responsibilities – a lesson resonating with working professionals and sports enthusiasts alike.
