Ceci Lee Sze-wing, the Hong Kong cycling sensation, has once again captivated the nation with her extraordinary talent. On Sunday, she claimed her second gold medal at the National Games, solidifying her status as a cycling icon. The victory was celebrated with great enthusiasm, as government officials and sports enthusiasts alike praised her outstanding performance.
Secretary for Culture, Sports, and Tourism, Rosanna Law Shuk-pui, expressed her admiration for Lee's achievement. She stated, 'I am thrilled and excited by Ceci's remarkable feat. Her victory in the women's road race cycling in Zhuhai is a testament to her exceptional skills and determination. This triumph not only showcases her own capabilities but also inspires the entire Hong Kong community, proving that our athletes can excel in the highest-level competitions.'
Lee's success is particularly notable as she becomes the third cyclist from Hong Kong to win a gold medal more than once at the National Games. Her achievement follows in the footsteps of fellow cyclists Wong Kam-po and Sarah Lee Wai-sze, who have also achieved this remarkable feat. Moreover, Lee's victory marks the second gold medal for Hong Kong in these Games, after 26-year-old Nicholas Halliday's sailing triumph in Shanwei.
As a reward for her outstanding performance, Lee is set to receive a substantial amount of HK$750,000 (US$96,000) from the Hong Kong Jockey Club. This recognition not only celebrates her individual achievement but also highlights the potential and excellence of Hong Kong's athletes on the national stage. With her continued success, Lee is undoubtedly a role model for aspiring cyclists and a source of pride for the entire city.
