The 25th Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon (SCHKM) was held in China’s Hong Kong SAR on Sunday. It was the largest sports event held in the global financial center since the city lifted COVID-19 restrictions. A total of 37,000 people, including celebrities such as Hong Kong actor Chow Yun-fat, participated in the competition.

Many Chinese internet users were glad to read the news.

“I’m happy that Hong Kong is returning to what it used to be before the pandemic. For Hong Kong, a major financial hub, holding of such event will inject confidence and vigor in the city,” one said.
