Two Injuries On Miss Hong Kong Great Wall Trek As the saying goes, you are not a True Chinese until you have been to the Great Wall and this year's Miss Hong Kong contestants made their visit to the wall as part of their location filming in Beijing. However, the girls seemed a little over-enthusiastic during the filming of the run and Number 1 Joey Mak Ho Yee and Number 9 Grace Wong Kwan Hing were both injured. Joey was taken away to the hospital by ambulance to have her wounds dressed, whilst Grace suffered from cramping. On their final day of filming in Beijing, the girls went for a run from the gate up to the next watch tower in a race to get their number and run down again. The winner of the race would be awarded with a special 20 second promotional slot at the forthcoming Miss Hong Kong Olympics Promotional show. Because of this, the girls worked especially hard, leading to the injuries. Joey was originally ahead of the others, but after going up a few flights of steps, the force was too great and on the slope, she fell over, injuring her elbow, hands, knees and hips. However, even after falling, she was still smiling as she stood up quickly. The crew immediately helped her to disinfect her wounds and then called an ambulance to take her to hospital. When Joey fell, most of the girls stepped up to help, but her regular best friend Number 2 Lily Ho Ngo Yee was too busy sticking to Number 14 Candice Chiu Ka Dik and whilst Joey was receiving treatment, the two other girls seemed to be celebrating with a drink of water like champagne. Afterwards, Joey indicated that she was very happy about her first visit to the Great Wall, so she does not mind about injury. She says she will be more careful in the future and not go rushing around. Asked if she has a strong urge to win, she explains that she likes to do stair running. As for Lily, who had earlier injured her ankle, she took things very easily with Candice as they gently strolled up and back down again along with Number 15 Joyce Ko Ho Ting who also took her time. Lily said that she was fine when she was running up, but then she found it hard on the way down, so he had to take it a step at a time holding the handrails because the steps were very high. When asked why Candice and Joyce joined her at the back, she explained that Candice had earlier injured her hip and Joyce was a little swollen, so she took it easy. She feels that the taking part is what is important and she is happy to have visited the Great Wall. EO2 and Shirley Yeung also joined the girls to support them on their race and EO2 were asked about their rather lewd remarks made earlier about 'training the girls'. They explained that they were using a Cantonese expression and this led to a misunderstanding.
