(CNA Reporter Chen Jung-chun, Taipei, 15th) The Taiwan delegation for the 6th Asian Beach Games held its flag presentation ceremony today. Minister of Sports Lee Yang presented the flag and handed out bonus meal money. In his speech, he expressed his hope that the athletes would serve as Taiwan's spokespersons and do their utmost to win glory for the country.
The Asian Beach Games, returning after a 10-year hiatus, will restart in Sanya City, China, and is scheduled to be held grandly from April 22 to 30. The Taiwan delegation is sending a total of 71 athletes to compete in 10 major sports fields, including open water swimming, 3x3 basketball, beach athletics, dragon boat, beach kabaddi, sailing, sport climbing, aquathlon, beach volleyball, and beach wrestling.
Minister of Sports Lee Yang personally presented the flag today and awarded the bonus meal money, which was received on behalf of the team by open water swimmer Cho Cheng-chi. During his speech, he particularly reminded everyone to travel safely, compete smoothly, and enjoy the games. Especially when standing on the field representing Taiwan, they are also Taiwan's spokespersons. He hopes the athletes will do their best to win glory for the country and strive to move forward, "but the most important thing, of course, is to be safe."
Lee Yang specially mentioned that if they encounter any problems during the games, whether it is training, logistics, or daily life, the athletes should report them directly. This feedback will be subject to targeted reviews. "We will fully support you from behind, hoping that the athletes will help us build a better and better sports environment in Taiwan."
In a joint media interview, Lee Yang pointed out that he expects the Ministry of Sports and the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee to truly become the backing of athletes. From being an athlete in the past to becoming the Minister of Sports now, the goal is to explore shortcomings through the process of organizing each delegation and gradually improve from there, "which is an important indicator for providing athletes with a better environment in the future."
