Team Hong Kong is no stranger to the table tennis world. In the last 20 years, the team which heavily relied on in-coming players was a frequent medalist at table tennis tournaments. Although the team missed out the podium in the 2016 World Championships ending up fifth in Kula Lumpur, the team comes in this year with a bright and young squad of mostly locally-trained players and is striving for a podium finish in Halmstad, Sweden at the 2018 World Championships. Doo Hoi Kem, Lee Ho Ching, Soo Wai Yam Minnie and their coach Zhang Rui spoke with RTHK about their performance at 2018 Team World Cup and their plans at the upcoming World Championships. We have summarized the radio interview for you, so check it out below and enjoy!
