HONG KONG, Dec 12 (AFP): An annual swim across Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour was held Sunday for the first time in three years, after being cancelled due to the pro-democracy protests and then the pandemic.

The one-kilometre race is among the few major sporting events permitted to resume this year in the financial hub.
