逐出港隊｜拒簽社交媒體指引 搏擊名將向氏兄妹失精英資助 家長：舐鞋底先可生存？
Heung Chi-hei and Heung Chi-ying, siblings from a combat-sports family, allegedly experienced bullying while training at the Hong Kong Sports Institute. They suffered stress headaches and at one point required psychological counselling. They later refused to sign the athletes’ social media guidelines and regulations issued by the Wushu Union, and were consequently not recommended for renewed elite athlete funding from the Institute. At the beginning of this year, they had no choice but to leave the Hong Kong team and compete professionally. Their parents, combat-sports champion Heung Pak-wing and his wife Tsang Hoi-fan, told The Collective News that they hoped the Institute would provide a reasonable explanation, seek justice for their children, and establish a mechanism for handling such incidents to protect athletes’ rights. The Hong Kong Sports Institute responded that it had followed up in accordance with established procedures, including meeting with the athletes and their parents+E108+E110
出身於搏擊世家的「向氏兄妹」向籽羲、向籽嬴，疑在體院訓練時遭受欺凌，曾患上壓力性頭痛，一度需接受心理輔導，其後拒絕簽署武術聯會發出的運動員社交媒體指引及規章，繼而不獲續推薦領取體院精英運動員資助，並於今年初不得不離開港隊，轉戰職業賽。事後二人父母，搏擊名將向柏榮及太太曾海芬接受《集誌社》訪問表示，希望體院作合理交代，為子女討回公道，以及設立事件處理機制保障運動員權益。香港體育學院回應事件指，已按既定機制跟進，包括與運動員及其父母+E108+E110

體育總會管治｜「建議守則」禁運動員貶損屬會 曾公開申訴運動員：製造武器滅聲
Multiple sports associations have been embroiled in athlete selection disputes in recent years. On the 20th, the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China announced the results of its institutional governance review to its affiliated sports associations, hereafter referred to as “member associations”, and released the Institutional Governance Code and related reference materials. The “Athlete Code” in the reference materials states that athletes must not make comments that damage the reputation of a member association or post “derogatory comments” targeting a member association on social media. It also requires athletes to sign a declaration when registering or renewing their registration as athletes of a member association, undertaking to comply with the code; otherwise, their membership may be suspended or terminated.
Powerlifter Fong Chai-chi, who previously complained to the media after allegedly having Hong Kong Sports Institute funding withheld and membership frozen, said the code’s emphasis on not affecting a member association’s reputation was tantamount to providing member associations with a “weapon” to prohibit athletes from speaking out about unfair treatment. “The government does not prohibit citizens from expressing opposing views, yet the federation [member associations] wants to ban opposing voices.”
多個體育總會近年接連掀起運動員遴選風波，港協暨奧委會日前（20日）向屬下體育總會（下稱「屬會」）公布機構管治檢討結果，並發布《機構管治守則》和相關參考資料。其中參考資料中的「運動員守則」列明，運動員不得發表損害屬會聲譽的言論、亦不得在社交媒體上發布針對屬會的「貶損評論」；又要求運動員在註冊和續期成為屬會運動員時簽署聲明，承諾遵守守則，否則可被暫停或終止會籍。
曾因疑被扣起體院資助、被凍結會籍後向傳媒投訴的健力運動員方齊智，指守則強調不可影響屬會聲譽，如同為屬會提供「武器」禁止運動員為不公平的事情發聲，「政府無禁止市民發表反對意見，反而總會（屬會）要禁反對聲音」。

曾錯指香港為「國家」 舉重健力總會主席葉永玉辭職
The chairman of the China Hong Kong Weightlifting and Powerlifting Association, Wing Yuk Ip, who became embroiled in a gaffe controversy after previously referring to Hong Kong as a country in remarks, has resigned. The association said in a statement today (24th) that Wing Yuk Ip resigned as chairman yesterday (23rd) for personal reasons, and that First Vice-Chairman Yu Sen-po would act in the role.
捲入失言風波、曾經於發言時錯指香港為國家的中國香港舉重健力總會主席葉永玉辭職。總會今日（24日）發聲明指，葉永玉因私人原因，在昨日（23日）辭任中國香港舉重健力總會主席，主席職務由第一副主席余森波代行。
葉永玉早前接連捲入失言風波，包括在本月舉行的「亞洲有裝備健力錦標賽暨亞洲大學生盃」致辭時，她以地區身分參賽的香港及中華台北選手，與其他參賽者一併形容為「來自13個國家」，事後政府指有關表述違反一國原則。總會事後道歉，解釋葉永玉於簡化講稿句子時，錯誤地沒提及「地區」兩字，引起誤會，承認嚴重疏忽，強調完全沒有「港獨」意思，並堅決支持及擁護《基本法》及「一個中國」原則。

霍啟剛倡聯合大灣區城市 齊搶體育盛事
The Government is promoting the mega-event economy to attract tourists, but the recovery of the tourism industry has fallen short of expectations. Legislative Council members Yiu Pak-leung of the tourism sector, Kenneth Fok of the sports, performing arts, culture and publication sector, and Vincent Cheng of the Democratic Alliance for Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong held a press conference today, proposing that sporting elements be incorporated into tourism products to develop sports tourism. Fok said the Greater Bay Area's population is comparable to that of Europe and other regions, while Guangdong Province has 78 million square metres of sports venues. He believed that Hong Kong could connect with the Greater Bay Area and proactively compete together for major sporting events, thereby promoting Hong Kong's tourism industry.
政府力推盛事經濟吸引遊客，但旅遊業復甦情況就未如預期。立法會旅遊界姚柏良、體演文出界霍啟剛及民建聯鄭泳舜今日舉行記者會，提議把運動元素融入旅遊產品，發展運動旅遊產業。霍啟剛指，大灣區的人口與歐洲等地睇齊，而廣東省有7,800萬平方米體育場地，認為香港與大灣區銜接，一起主動出擊搶體育盛事，可帶動香港的旅遊產業。

主席誤稱香港為「比較細嘅國家」 舉重健力總會致歉
The Hong Kong Weightlifting and Powerlifting Association held an invitational event at Queen Elizabeth Stadium yesterday. In his speech, chairman Wing Yuk Ip described Hong Kong as a “relatively small country”, drawing criticism from the pro-establishment camp. The association issued a statement last night clarifying that the remark was a verbal slip, apologising to the public for the misunderstanding and controversy caused by the speech, and stressing that it had absolutely no intention of advocating Hong Kong independence. The YouTube livestream of the event’s opening ceremony has since been taken down.
The Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau said the Government attached great importance to the incident. The Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China is seeking details of the incident from the association and has requested that it submit a report.
香港舉重健力總會昨日在伊利沙伯體育館舉行邀請賽，主席葉永玉出席致辭時，將香港形容為「比較細嘅國家」，惹來建制派批評。總會昨晚發聲明澄清，指葉當時是「口文之誤」，並對演講引起的誤會及紛爭向公眾致歉，強調完全沒有港獨的意思。有關邀請賽的開幕禮YouTube直播影片現已下架。
文化體育及旅遊局就表示，政府非常重視有關事件；港協暨奧委會正向總會了解事件詳情，並已要求總會就事件提交報告。

港協修訂指引：Google、YouTube搜國歌完全不能信賴
Since last November, at several competitions involving Hong Kong teams, organisers played the anti-extradition movement song “Glory to Hong Kong” as the national anthem. The Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China (the Hong Kong Olympic Committee) yesterday (30th) issued revised guidelines on the national flag and national anthem, saying that the anthem had been mistakenly played at international sporting events as a “subversive” song, proving that “Google and YouTube are completely unreliable when searching for the correct national anthem of the Hong Kong, China team”. The Hong Kong Olympic Committee made seven revisions to the guidelines, which take effect tomorrow.
去年11月起，多項港隊參與的比賽中，大會將反修例運動歌曲《願榮光歸香港》當作國歌播放。港協暨奧委會（港協）昨日（30日）發出修訂的國旗和國歌指引，稱國歌在國際體育賽事被錯誤播放成一首「具顛覆性質」的歌曲，證明「Google 和 YouTube 在搜尋正確的中國香港隊國歌上，是完全不能信賴的」。港協就指引作七項修訂，明日生效。

港協嚴厲書面「申斥」冰協 楊祖賜：暫停會員資格是後話
Hong Kong’s men’s ice hockey team competed in the World Championship in Bosnia in February this year. After the match, the organisers played the anti-extradition movement song “Glory to Hong Kong” as the national anthem. The Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China (SF&OC) decided today to issue the Ice Hockey Association with a severe written “reprimand”. The decision does not involve a reduction in funding, but whether to cancel the association’s membership will be considered later, depending on the corporate governance improvement plan to be resubmitted after 14 days. The SF&OC also further “完善” its guidelines on the playing of the national anthem, stating that if the organisers refuse to allow the team leader to verify the anthem on site, the Hong Kong team must refuse to take part in the event’s awards ceremony.
男子冰球港隊今年2月到波斯尼亞出賽世界錦標賽，主辦方賽後將反修例運動歌曲《願榮光歸香港》當作國歌播放。港協暨奧委會（港協）今決定向冰協發出嚴厲書面「申斥」，當中不涉及扣減資助，但是否取消冰協的會員資格則是後話，需要視乎14日後再交的企業管改善方案。港協亦再「完善」播國歌指引，指如主辦方拒絕讓領隊即場核對國歌，港隊必須拒絕參與賽事頒獎禮。

冰協感激港協無削資助 「向市民、同胞、港協及政府致歉」
After the wrong national anthem was played for Hong Kong’s men’s ice hockey team at the World Championships, the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China decided this morning to issue the Ice Hockey Association a severe written reprimand. The reprimand does not involve a reduction in funding, and the association was asked to resubmit its corporate governance improvement plan in 14 days. In a statement this evening, the Ice Hockey Association apologised for the error to “the people of Hong Kong, compatriots at home and abroad, the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China and the Hong Kong SAR Government”. It said team manager Kwan Yuen-yee had reviewed her lack of crisis awareness, and thanked the SF&OC for not reducing its funding allocation for ice hockey, allowing athletes to continue to perform and bring glory to Hong Kong and the country.
男子冰球港隊出戰世錦賽播錯國歌事件，港協暨奧委會今早決定向冰協發出嚴厲書面「申斥」，當中不涉及扣減資助，並要求冰協14日後再提交企業管改善方案。冰協傍晚發聲明，就事件失誤「向廣大香港市民、國內外同胞、『港協暨奧委會』及香港特區政府作出道歉」，指領隊關婉儀已就危機意識不足作檢討；又感激港協無削減對冰球運動的資助撥款，讓運動員繼續發揮自己、為港為國爭光。

冰球賽險再播錯國歌 領隊關婉儀：大會仍自行下載
Amid the fallout from an incident involving the wrong national anthem, the women’s ice hockey team made history by winning the Division III Group A event at the World Women’s Ice Hockey Championship yesterday. Kwan Yuen Yee, the team manager and honorary secretary of the Ice Hockey Association, told the media today that another error was found when the anthem was checked this time. The staff member who received the USB drive did not hand it over to the staff member responsible for playing the music, leading the organisers to download the anthem themselves and nearly causing another mistake. Kwan said: “I did not breathe a sigh of relief until the entire national anthem had finished playing at the medal ceremony yesterday.”
女子冰球隊在播錯國歌事件陰霾下，昨日出戰世界女子冰球錦標賽第三級別A組賽事歷史性奪冠。領隊兼冰協義務秘書關婉儀今日向傳媒表示，今次檢查國歌時發現又再有錯，接收USB的職員無向播歌職員交收，導致大會自行下載國歌，險再釀成錯誤。關婉儀表示昨日「直到成首國歌喺頒獎禮播完，我先至鬆一口氣。」

楊潤雄：體育政治應有適當分野 政府多年來少介入體育總會運作
The fallout from the incorrect national anthem being played at the World Ice Hockey Championship continued, with the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China recently initiating procedures to suspend the Hong Kong Ice Hockey Association’s membership. Some ice hockey players have voiced concern that a reduction in government funding would affect the development of ice hockey. Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Kevin Yeung repeatedly stressed on radio this morning (the 8th) that the authorities could reduce certain funding without affecting athletes, while funding for training and competitions would not be affected. He said: “I also hope to put the athletes’ minds at ease.” Asked whether the authorities had communicated directly with the ice hockey association, Yeung said the bureau had reviewed reports submitted by the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China and the ice hockey association, but the Hong Kong Government had traditionally left communication between the Sports Federation and its member associations to the organisations themselves, allowing sports bodies to operate independently. He said: “Many countries often say that sport and politics should be appropriately separated, so over the years the government has rarely directly intervened in the operations of sports associations.”
世界冰球錦標賽播錯國歌事件繼續發酵 ，港協暨奧委會日前啟動暫停冰協會員資格的程序。近日有冰球隊員開腔，憂慮一旦港府削減資助，會影響冰球發展。文體旅局長楊潤雄今早（8日）在電台多番強調，當局可在不影響運動員下削減個別資助，培訓及出賽的資助不受影響：「我喺呢到都希望安到啲運動員嘅心啦。」被問到當局有否直接與冰協溝通，楊潤雄稱局方有檢視港協及冰協雙方呈交的報告，但港府一向交由港協與屬會溝通，讓體育單位獨立運作：「好多時外國都講『體育同政治應該有適當嘅分野』，所以咁多年以嚟政府都好少直接介入體育總會嘅運作。」
