Mr. Eric Chan Kwok Ki, Acting Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, said that the SAR government had earlier purchased the television broadcast rights for the Paris Olympics, and Hong Kong citizens can keep up with various Olympic events and cheer for Hong Kong athletes. As for the lack of air-conditioning in the Paris Olympic Athletes' Village, which citizens are concerned about, after close coordination between the SAR government, the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government and the Hong Kong Association and Olympic Committee, it was decided that mobile air-conditioners will be delivered to the Paris Olympic Athletes’ Village. Citizens do not need to worry about weather factors affecting athletes’ rest.
