This year’s Sports Expo — which will be at AsiaWorld-Expo from August 25-27 — will include a triathlon, a quick Chinese chess tournament, more than 100 stalls showcasing sporting goods, and live demonstrations among its attractions.

There will be the Asian Youth Elite Fencing League in which fencers aged 8-14 years old will compete in four categories (Plastic, Foil, Epee and Sabre) on a first-come-first-served basis.
Visitors can also participate in two board game competitions: The Hong Kong Chinese Chess Tournament Quick Tournament and the 2023 Carcassonne World Championship. Winner of the carcassonne competition will gain entry to the 2023 Carcassonne World Series in Germany.
There will also be team sports events, such as The Esports of Triathlon Championship, in which participants must row, bike, and run in teams of at least three people. The event is open to anyone aged 13 years old and over, and they will compete at either in Semi-Olympic Distance or Olympic Distance relays.
The other major team event is the Subaru Car Challenge, an endurance test in which teams must place the palms of their right hands on a specific spot on a car and keep them there over the course of the six-hour competition.
