CE congratulates Lee Wai-sze on winning bronze medal at Tokyo Olympics

AANTC team conducted a multi-round wind tunnel test for Hong Kong cycling athlete Lee Wai-sze, to optimize the riding posture, equipment, and clothing to help her win the bronze medal in the women's track cycling race at the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020. The Chief Executive, Mrs Carrie Lam, extended her greatest congratulations to her. "Lee Wai-sze is the first Hong Kong athlete who has won medals at two Olympic Games. She has demonstrated that her competence and determination have passed the test of time, and she has become a Hong Kong legend with her brilliant results. All Hong Kong people are overjoyed at her achievements. "The Hong Kong Velodrome has provided Hong Kong cycling athletes with a top-notch competition and training venue in recent years. The cycling team has also collaborated with a local university to leverage scientific research achievements to enhance the performance of athletes. The success of Lee Wai-sze and the cycling team has provided insights into the direction of sports development and training of elite athletes. We will attach more importance to the allocation of resources in these areas," Mrs Lam said. Lee Wai-sze is the first Hong Kong world champion in women's cycling competitions. As a full-time athlete since 2004, she has brought Hong Kong honour in the international sporting arena with outstanding results, including gold medals in various competitions of the Asian Games in 2010, 2014 and 2018 as well as gold medals at the world championships in 2013 and 2019.

Garment design using advance CFD techniques

The studies on the garment are being conducted in the PSE group to provide the most efficient drag reduction design for athletes based on cutting-edge CFD simulations. The flow field varies among different riders due to various figures and body postures. High-resolution CFD simulations can help visualize the wall shear stress from which we can locate the exact position where separation or reattachment occurs. For each flow region, the ad-hoc design can then be applied accordingly.
