Tributes pour in for Olympic hopeful To eNCA
Kenneth To, who held 16 Hong Kong swimming records, was on a three-month training programme at the University of Florida when he was taken ill.
Chinese star Sun Yang, a one-time team-mate of To's, was among the mourners for the popular swimmer who won Commonwealth and world championships medals with Australia before switching to represent his native Hong Kong. "He felt unwell at a training session and was taken to hospital where sadly, he passed away," a statement said Tuesday, adding that the Institute was"deeply shocked and saddened".
Multiple Olympic champion Sun, who teamed up with To for the 4x100m freestyle relay at the 2017 China National Games, was among those to pay tribute.
