Hong Kong triathletes too hot to handle

MANILA, Philippines — It was a complete domination by the mighty Hong Kong team in the sprint events on the first day of the two-day 2019 NTT ASTC Subic Bay International Triathlon (SuBIT) Asian Cup.

Hong Kong triathletes placed eight entries in the top 10 of the men’s sprint distance featuring 16 to 19-year-olds while seven female entries placed in the top 10, including a sweep of the top three places in both divisions.

In the super sprint distance though, the Philippines managed to share the limelight with a second place finish in the boys’ side and a third place achievement in the distaff side.
