Background
[edit]Hong Kong began competing in the Summer Olympic Games in 1952, and have participated in every Summer Olympics since, excluding the boycotted 1980 Moscow Games.[1][2] Hong Kong was a British colony until the 1997 transfer of sovereignty from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China.[3] The SAR retained the right to send separate teams to the Olympics and other international sporting events that it had enjoyed under British rule.[4] Hong Kong made its Winter Olympic Games debut in 2002 at Salt Lake City.[2] Hong Kong has never won a Winter Olympics medal.[2]
