The bank's chief executive, Benjamin Hung Pi-cheng, has called on organizers to try to stop the practice and blamed it for causing accidents during the race, which saw many competitors cross the finish line bloodied and bruised. The injured included Hong Kong triathlete Joyce Cheung Ting-yan, who survived a nasty fall to go on to win the women's 10-kilometre race.
"We want people to apply a little bit of common sense and discipline. At the end of the day we want this to be run safely." Hung said he did not discount the possibility of banning competitors from carrying mobile phones. "That is something organizers will have to deal with," he said.
