Hong Kong’s triathlon team is in a tough spot after several top athletes, including Jason Ng Tai-long and Oscar Coggins, missed the mark at the China National Triathlon Championships. Only Wong Tsz-to and Bailee Brown secured automatic spots, leaving head coach Andrew Wright with a headache—he now has to handpick the rest of the squad for the National Games. Wright didn’t mince words, saying the athletes who fell short have no one to blame but themselves.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about a few athletes missing out—it’s a setback for Hong Kong’s chances at a major national competition. With key names failing to qualify, the pressure’s on the coach to assemble a competitive team. For sports fans, it’s a frustrating stumble, especially since these athletes were expected to deliver. The story highlights how fine the margins are in elite sports, where one bad day can change everything.
