Rower Chiu Hin-chun '100 percent' ready for Paris
Hong Kong rower Chiu Hin-chun is looking to take part in his second Olympics next week.
The 29-year-old clinched gold in men's single sculls in the lightweight category of the World Rowing Cup in May, which involved athletes weighing no more than 72.5 kilogrammes. Now, he's taking on a whole new challenge by participating in the open category in the Paris Games.
Chiu told RTHK he's adopting a new strategy that he believes will better prepare him against the "real giants".

I wish I could improve my skills and my muscle mass because I'm fighting with the lions, they're only the gang. Competence. Usually the Asia is the underdog. They may not expect our Asia to have a very brilliant result. The underdogs can play some games in their only big games. I expected to achieve like top 16, top 12 to break another record for Hong Kong. My mum will give me a red pocket. He is fortune and then he is good luck. Usually I will bring a red pocket along with me during the competition, so wish me luck. I'm always ready to race, so 100%. [BLANK_AUDIO]
