Canton, Hong Kong, and Macao co-host the countdown press conference for the Guangzhou Special Olympics, which is 100 days away.

The Executive Committee of the Guangdong Division of the 12th National Disabled Persons Games and the 9th Special Olympics, the Coordination Office of the National Games in Hong Kong, and the Preparatory Office for the 15th National Games and Special Olympics in Macau held a press conference today in Guangzhou to mark the countdown of 100 days to the Special Olympics. Yang Deqiang, Director of the Coordination Office of the National Games in Hong Kong, pointed out at the press conference that to improve the preparations, the Hong Kong division had arranged for pre-event drills from March to June this year with relevant sports associations and institutions. The drills covered competition operation procedures, functional area divisions, barrier-free facilities, medical services, and volunteer arrangements. Yang Deqiang also mentioned that the Hong Kong division will host the Paralympic Games' wheelchair dancing competition on the 6th and 7th of next month, with nearly 100 athletes participating. Yang Deqiang stated that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government has significantly increased resources in disability sports in recent years, optimizing training programs and support measures for athletes to attract more disabled individuals to participate in sports. Hong Kong's disabled athletes have performed well in international competitions in recent years, drawing attention from various sectors of society and businesses, prompting more resources to be invested in the development of disability sports.
