06-18.02.2026 ~ Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games - Summary
Ski Association of Hong Kong, China’s (SAHK) attended the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games, sending two athletes to compete in the alpine skiing competition. SAHK’s two representatives made up half of Team Hong Kong, China (HKG)’s largest ever winter Olympic delegation. SAHK is proud to have been a part of this historic achievement, especially as a region with a sub-tropical climate. This year’s achievement also marks SAHK’s third appearance at an Olympic Winter Games, highlighting the success of our elite development pathway. This year serves as our most successful olympic cycle yet, having had three athletes qualify for the games: Adrian YUNG, Eloise KING and Aerin KING. However, due to Olympic quota restrictions, only two athletes (one male, one female) per nation could be sent, therefore selection had to be made based on FIS (International Ski and Snowboard Federation) points.
Adrian YUNG made his second olympic appearance starting with a successful completion of his Giant Slalom races in 68th position on February 14th in Bormio, making him the youngest two-time winter olympian for Hong Kong, China. He then went on to compete in the Men’s Slalom competition on February 16th battling through adverse weather conditions. Eloise KING started her first ever olympic competition in the Women’s Slalom on February 18th in Cortina d'Ampezzo. She successfully completed the first run in 62nd place, however struggled with the conditions and injury on the second and final run. Chairman Edmond Yue was also in attendance in Milan as Team Leader to support this historic winter Olympic delegation for Hong Kong, China.
SAHK is incredibly proud of our athletes for their hard work and determination that led to them competing at the sport’s highest level, and hope that this achievement will inspire the next generation of winter sport athletes for Hong Kong, China. Finally, SAHK would like to thank the Hong Kong SAR Government, SF&OC, our coaching team, and the athlete’s families for their continued support in achieving this level of sporting excellence. Congratulations again to Eloise and Adrian on becoming Olympians!
