In 1994, Hong Kong made its final appearance in the Commonwealth Games, marking a significant moment in the territory's sporting history. The event took place in Victoria, Canada, where athletes from Hong Kong competed alongside representatives from other Commonwealth nations. This participation was particularly notable as it was the last time Hong Kong would compete in the Games due to its change in political status following the 1997 handover to China. Since then, Hong Kong has not participated in the Commonwealth Games, which has led to a shift in its international sporting engagements. Despite this absence, Hong Kong continues to be active in various sports, notably through events like the Hong Kong Sevens, which is recognized as one of the premier tournaments in the World Rugby Sevens Series. The legacy of Hong Kong's participation in the Commonwealth Games remains a point of pride, reflecting the territory's rich sporting culture and history. As the Commonwealth Games evolve, the absence of Hong Kong serves as a reminder of the changes in political landscapes and their impact on international sports participation. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #CommonwealthGames #HongKongSports #1994CommonwealthGames #InternationalSports #HongKongSevens
