The Tokyo Olympics saw Chinese Hong Kong's best performance after the handover, as the delegation pocketed one gold, two silvers and three bronzes. Cheng attributed the feat to the support from the motherland.
"We are grateful that the Chinese central government is always at our backs these years," Cheng said, and he believed the next National Games, which is to be hosted by Hong Kong along with Guangdong and Macao, would be a chance for Hong Kong's next generation.
"I'd say the youth of Hong Kong should participate in sports more often, and inherit the sportsmanship of the Chinese nation," said Cheng.
