Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - Cantonese Resources 2020東京奧運 - 奧運粵語教材

Anyone following the Olympics with bated breathe? Australia being a sporting nation, we are all in the grips of the Olympic fever, and we are practically glued to the TV. In addition, so proud of Hong Kong for winning three medals to date – the first Olympic gold in 25 years, the first medals for swimming and fencing!

So, to share my excitement, I whipped up a few vocabulary lists for those who are interested in Olympics in Cantonese, as well as lists some of the resources I found on the Olympics. Due to time sensitivity of this topic, as well as time constraints (we’re busy watching the Olympics!), this post is a work in progress, (as well as less extensively researched than some of my posts which takes weeks), so please check back regularly, and let me know if there are any amendments. (Please excuse me if I have overlooked anything).

These vocabulary lists are based on Hong Kong Chinese, which could differ from Taiwan, even if both use Traditional Chinese characters.

These Cantonese vocabulary lists have Jyutping and English translations, and are available for FREE download:

2. Following Hong Kong in the 2020 Olympics

If anyone knows of any good websites, please let me know. I have been following the Olympics in the Australian news, but here are some that I have found.

Google Hong Kong Overview

I actually get my schedule from Google (Australia) , and if you are looking for it in Hong Kong Chinese, then the Google HK gives a good overview and regular updates. (Please note the terms used in Chinese for various sports differ between Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and China and other Chinese speaking regions.)

You can see the overview 總覽, medals  獎牌, schedule 賽程 and results 結果 . You can filter by Days第幾天, teams 球隊, sporting events 運動項目, phases  賽程including medal events 獎牌賽事, and gender 性別.

Wikipedia (Hong Kong) – 2020年夏季奧林匹克運動會

Lots of links within the page, if you want to read up more. Remember to select 香港繁體.  Mine seems to default to 台灣正體 every time I click on a link. The phrasing is a bit different, even though both are in Traditional Chinese. E.g. Table tennis is  乒乓球 in Hong Kong Chinese, and 桌球 in Taiwan Chinese.
