内地奥运健儿代表团将于8月29日至31日到访香港，香港社会各界热切期盼一睹运动员英姿，共同分享奥运喜悦。
A star-studded delegation of mainland athletes who achieved outstanding results at the Paris Olympic Games will visit Hong Kong from Thursday to Aug 31 before heading to Macao for three days.
据了解，代表团访港期间有三场公开活动，包括30日晚在伊利沙伯体育馆举行的“奥运健儿大汇演”，以及31日上午分别于伊利沙伯体育馆和维多利亚公园游泳池举行的两场“内地奥运健儿展风采”运动项目示范，约5300张门票四十分钟内全部售罄。
The delegation will attend a welcome reception and welcome banquet hosted by the HKSAR government, and visit the Hong Kong Sports Institute for exchange activities. Members will also attend three public events, including a Gala Show at Queen Elizabeth Stadium on August 30, and give sports demonstrations at Queen Elizabeth Stadium and Victoria Park Swimming Pool on August 31.
Over 5,000 tickets priced at HK$20 that were offered for sale from 10 am on Thursday sold out within about 40 minutes.
在门票开售后10分钟，系统显示近5万人希望购买羽毛球、体操和乒乓球表演的门票，超过4.1万人希望购买跳水和游泳表演的门票，超过2.5万人希望获得汇演的门票。
In the first 10 minutes of ticket sales, the online system showed that nearly 50,000 people were trying to buy tickets for the badminton, gymnastics and table tennis demonstrations, more than 41,000 were waiting to buy tickets for diving and swimming demonstrations, and over 25,000 were hoping to get tickets for the gala show.
“我们家一直喜欢体育，对奥运会更是密切关注，得知奥运健儿访港的活动时，我爸就叮嘱我一定要抢票！”如愿买到“奥运健儿大汇演”票的香港市民马女士难掩激动之情，她对即将亲眼见到游泳运动员潘展乐感到十分欣喜。
除了像马女士一样抢票成功的“幸运儿”外，还有不少市民打算蹲守在电视机前收看直播，也有人表示“到时候多出门转转，希望能偶遇他们”。“奥运热”在香江持续燃烧，进一步点燃港人对国家与香港的体育运动发展成就的自豪感。
紫荆研究院26日公布的最新调查显示，超过八成香港市民为中国体育代表团和中国香港代表团的表现感到自豪。针对加强内地和香港运动员的交流，以进一步提升香港运动员技术水平，超过82%受访市民表示赞成。紫荆研究院认为，调查结果反映香港市民期望内地和香港体育界加强合作，推动香港运动员朝着更专业化的方向发展。
