[HAITONG International 2024 Hong Kong Open Windsurfing Championships] – EdUHK Windsurfer claimed Gold in the exhibition race!

The HAITONG International 2024 Hong Kong Open Windsurfing Championships exhibition race was held last Sunday (November 3, 2024). EdUHK Windsurfer Asgar Kikabhoy (Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Sports Science and Coaching) claimed victory in the men’s iQFOiL windsurfing category. Asgar outperformed South Korean competitors Kim Chaneui and Son Ji Won, securing his first title in the adult division at this iconic event. Having been promoted from the youth team to the adult team this summer, Asgar also served as a sparring partner for the Hong Kong team in Europe as part of their training for the Paris Olympics. This exhibition race not only boosted his confidence but also motivated him to take on more international competitions in the future. What a massive accomplishment for Asgar!
