[Sports News]The Hong Kong team will send Wang Peilin/Lin Qifeng to play in the men’s beach volleyball event in this year’s Asian Games, but another team combination, Huang Jiayun/Xie Jianhong, who won the Hong Kong team’s qualifying round last December, is not on the list. “Huang Xiepei” posted on a social platform last night (24th), pointing out that the platoon chief had earlier informed the two that they did not meet the standards of the Hong Kong Association and would not be eligible. Negligence caused the two to lose the opportunity to compete. When Huang Jiarun accepted the inquiry from “Tilu”, he said that both the volleyball team and the Hong Kong Association were responsible for this matter, “If we knew that there was such a standard, we would try our best to ask for leave to play the game. In the end, if it is not OK, I will accept it if it really kills us. But I don’t understand why I’m not qualified without knowing it.” “Tilu” has inquired with the Hong Kong Volleyball Federation and the Hong Kong Federation and Olympic Committee, both of which said they would respond later.

Huang Jiarun/Xie Jianhong won two matches in the Asian Games trials held in December last year, beating Wang Peilin/Lin Qifeng and Rao Minggan/Li Liefeng to win the first place. At that time, the volleyball head listed the men’s Asian Games roster from “Huang Xiepei” to the men’s first team, and “Wang Linpei” to the second team, but at the same time stated that “the final number of teams to be sent is determined by the Olympic Committee.” As of last month’s Asian Games flag presentation ceremony announced the Hong Kong team list, men’s sand volleyball only “Wang Linpei” on the list. Even though “Huang Xie Pei” finished ninth in the Penghu Asian Beach Volleyball Tournament last week, he could not appeal because the deadline for the list of the Hong Kong Association on July 15 has passed.
“Huang Xiepei” posted on a social platform last night, saying that he received bad news a month ago, “The Volleyball Association notified us that we would not be sent to the Asian Games, saying that we did not meet the standards of the Hong Kong Federation and Olympic Committee.” The two pointed out that they didn’t know what the standard was beforehand, and questioned that since there was a standard in advance, they “why bother to win the qualifying match? It exhausted the athletes’ energy, but in the end it was nothing.” He pointed out that the total fault of the platoon made the two lose the chance to compete. The two said that they have been preparing for the Asian Games in recent months, but “the Hong Kong Federation of Hong Kong and the Olympic Committee only informed us at such a critical time, sorry we are really hard to let go.”
According to the selection criteria for the Hangzhou Asian Games announced by the Hong Kong Federation and Olympic Committee in February this year, the athletes in the World Championships, Asian Championships, Tokyo Olympics, Jakarta Asian Games, Naples World Universiade, Doha World Sand Games and Shaanxi National Games have been selected.

Huang Jiarun revealed that he received an invitation from the Hong Kong Association on July 10 to attend the flag presentation ceremony on the 25th, but three days later, he was notified by the platoon chief that he did not meet the standards of the Hong Kong Association and could not join the team: “We are very surprised , I never knew there was such a standard in advance, and no athletes knew it. The platoon chief told us after we won the qualifying match that we could use our qualifications to prepare for the Asian Games, but in fact we have not been reimbursed, and there is no mention of the Hong Kong Association standard. He questioned that the Hong Kong Association was very hasty in notifying the athletes two days before the list deadline and more than a month before the Asian Games. It’s not clear if they forgot or didn’t know it all the time. The IOC was notified too late because the federation had already nominated and should have known if the athlete was eligible.”
Huang Jiarun said that in the past few years due to the epidemic, he has not been able to go out to compete. Among them, he was preparing for the World Championship in Australia in 2020, but it was finally canceled due to the epidemic. Until the beginning of this year, “Huang Xiepei” had been to Iran to compete, but due to a long absence, he did not have outstanding results. “If we had known the standard earlier, we could have asked for leave to compete as much as possible. They never said anything about it.” He pointed out that he and his partner As a teacher, it is difficult to ask for leave due to the lack of holidays. Xie Jianhong resigned earlier to prepare for the Asian Games: “If we know this standard, OK, we will try our best to ask for leave to play games. In the end, if it is not OK, it will really kill me. Accepted, but unknowingly ineligible I don’t understand.”
Huang Jiarun pointed out that before posting the article, he had planned to lose the number, but he did not expect to get a big response. He hoped to use this as a warning: “We are not young, and this year should be the last, so I am even more unwilling to give up. I think it is obviously We deserve it, but why should we beg you?”
