00:00Elite venues, athletes pushing themselves to the limit, and the first ever cross-border races.

00:10The countdown to the Chinese National Games 2025 is on.

00:14I'm in Hong Kong, where the preparations are in the final stretch ahead of the National Games.

00:20I'll be discovering some of the most iconic sport venues in the city,

00:24and I'll be learning how athletes and organizers get ready for this mega-event challenge.

00:34From November 9th to 21st, fans can experience a first of its kind of multi-sports event.

00:42Hong Kong is hosting eight elite competitions, unfolding simultaneously across Hong Kong,

00:49Wondan province and Macau, each with its own unforgettable backdrop.

00:53The Kai Tak Sports Park is one of those venues.

00:57It's the largest sports and entertainment complex in Hong Kong.

01:02Since opening in March, it has already made it smart, hosting major international events.

01:08The National Games will really help solidify Hong Kong's offering,

01:13and especially open up Hong Kong's offering to mainland.

01:17Sevens is internationally famous in Hong Kong, and the stadium here, we've already run the Sevens this year,

01:26so we know that it'll be another great presentation.

01:28The one thing that's fantastic to be able to see is that we really try and define our offering as Hong Kong's home stadium,

01:36and it's been brilliant to see that.

01:38In just five months, a million people have visited this 50,000-seat stadium, witnessing its cutting-edge technology and design.

01:48It's got a very unique Hong Kong feeling to it, especially with the window onto the Hong Kong skyline.

01:55The venues are ready, but are the athletes prepared for the challenge ahead?

02:04Hong Kong's men's handball team is ready ahead of the Games.

02:09Leading the team is a Swedish coach who's lived in the city for five years, guiding them with purpose and a strategy.

02:16I'm mostly excited for the players, because for them it's really going to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity kind of thing.

02:24Like, this is this one shot in front of their home crowd.

02:28They never, ever played on such venues before.

02:32The Kai Tak Sports Arena will be home to both handball and fencing during the Games.

02:38Are you happy to play there?

02:39I mean, as long as the people show up to support us, I'll happily play anywhere.

02:47Obviously, Kai Tak is a bit bigger, so there could be more people coming to support us.

02:51Held every four years, the National Games are always a challenge to organize,

02:56and this year, more than ever, with cross-border events for the first time.

03:02A 230-kilometer cycling race stretches across the Hong Kong-Juhai-Macao Bridge,

03:08while a marathon connects Hong Kong to Shenzhen in mainland China.

03:13So basically, 21 kilometers in Hong Kong, 21 kilometers in Shenzhen.

03:17The race will start at the stadium in Shenzhen,

03:21and the runners will pass through the immigration checkpoint and then come into Hong Kong.

03:25As they will have gone through the pre-registration, there's no need to stop.

03:30The Chinese mainland Hong Kong and Macau are three separate custom territories,

03:34so every detail must be fine-tuned to keep the races running seamlessly from start to finish.

03:41The cycling is a very long route, actually.

03:44We expect it will take more than five hours.

03:46The cyclists, actually, they need to pass through the customs and immigration control points six times in total.

03:53And then we use technology to ensure that they will not go to other parts of the road.

03:59Athletes are gearing up for these pioneering cross-border races.

04:08Vincent Lump broke Hong Kong's marathon record in 2024.

04:14Now he's taking on a new challenge at the Games.

04:17Doing this cross-border marathon requires a lot of work.

04:22There are a lot of challenges along the course, for example, like the bridges,

04:29and also the headwind and the crosswind around the Shenzhen Bay border.

04:35Racing in the home turf even makes this experience more unforgettable.

04:40It's definitely like once-in-a-lifetime experience.

04:44Hong Kong's venues and athletes are all set for the excitement of the competition and the roar of the crowds.

04:51At one of Asia's largest sporting events, the Games kick off on November 9th.
