Su Bingtian protégé Ng Ka-fung hopes to smash his training partner’s benchmark at Tseung Kwan O meet
- Hong Kong’s 100m record holder Ng Ka-fung hopes to make another splash in his home city this weekend
- Ng will follow Asia’s fastest man to the US in June as he looks to snag a spot at the World Athletics Championships
Hong Kong’s 100-metres record holder Ng Ka-fung is hoping to smash another benchmark on Saturday at Tseung Kwan O Sports Ground – the one set at the same venue by his training partner and Asia’s fastest man, Su Bingtian.
The pair have been working together in Shenzhen since early February, as part of a partnership between the Hong Kong Association of Athletics Affiliates (HKAAA) and the Chinese Athletics Association.
Ng returned to Hong Kong last month, primarily to apply for a US visa to train with Su in June.
The 29-year-old will compete in the Hong Kong Athletics Series 2022 – Series 2 and Series 3 events at Tseung Kwan O and Wan Chai Sports Grounds, respectively, this month, and hopes to make a splash before leaving for the US.
“The Hong Kong record is my only goal – if not this week, then next week at Wan Chai, which provides a better environment for setting a record,” said Ng, who has lost four kilos in weight over the past few months training in China.
