Hong Kong making broadcast bid for 2022 Asian Games, Carrie Lam says, with Paris Olympics likely next in line


Hong Kong’s unprecedented purchase of broadcasting rights for the Tokyo Olympics was dubbed a “one-off arrangement” in May, but next year’s Asian Games are now set for the same treatment, according to the city’s leader, with the 2024 Paris Olympics a strong possibility as well.

Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor revealed the planned broadcasting rights bid on Sunday while in Shaanxi province for China’s 14th National Games, where she met Governor Zhao Yide and national sports chief Gou Zhongwen.
