Hong Kong pair’s ‘chronic’ Asia Triathlon Cup swims leave coach with National Games fear
Cade Wright, Hilda Choi left in mainland Chinese rivals’ wake in Dexing as coach warns swim legs need fixing or National Games ‘pointless’

Cade Wright and Hilda Choi Yan-yin paid for delivering “chronic” swimming performances, as the Hong Kong pair finished 10th and 12th, respectively, in the Asia Triathlon Cup in Dexing on Saturday.
Of the city’s five men, Wong Tsz-to delivered the best effort to finish 12th.
While Wong and his colleagues are fighting to retain their Hong Kong Sports Institute full-time status, head coach Andrew Wright said the need for Cade Wright and Choi to improve in the water was growing urgent.
“Their swims were chronic – losing two minutes is poor,” coach Wright said.
“There’s still time to fix it … if we can’t, there’s no point entering the National Games individual race [in November].”
The duo, who were racing in Dexing primarily to work on their swimming legs, emerged from the water more than two minutes down on the leading group.
Huang Anqi of China won the race in two hours, one minute and two seconds. Cade Wright came home in 2:06.52, while Choi finished in 2:07.40.
