Hong Kong’s athletes and their teams welcomed in homecoming celebration at Hong Kong Disneyland

Around 1,000 Hong Kong’s winning medallists and associated parties, families and friends from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, as well as the 14th National Games and the 11th National Games for Persons with Disabilities of China, joined a grand and joyful homecoming celebration at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (HKDL).

With HKDL’s Castle of Magical Dreams serving as a symbol to inspire hope and courage in the region, the homecoming celebration was an opportunity for Hong Kong’s athletes and their teams to celebrate their success with their families and friends. It was also an opportunity to recognize the undeniable commitment and spirit from the athletes and their teams in making their very own dreams come true among the resort’s audience of families and children. The event also served to celebrate the positive impact our Paralympic and disabled athletes have had on the city’s sporting acclaim for people of all abilities.

Joining the event as guests of honour were Yeung Tak-keung, Commissioner for Sports, Home Affairs Bureau; Timothy Fok, President of the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China; Jenny Fung, President of Hong Kong Paralympic Committee & Sports Association for the Physically Disabled, and Michael Moriarty, Managing Director, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort.

They, together with all athletes and their supporting team members, families and friends, took part in a ceremony at HKDL’s Castle of Magical Dreams. Afterwards, park guests were given an opportunity to praise the teams with an exclusive Grand Marshall along Main Street, U.S.A. The delegation members also took the time to enjoy themselves in the park amid their busy schedule of training and competitions.
