Organizers of the Gay Games announced the event in Hong Kong has been postponed by a year to 2023 due to the spread of Covid-19 variants and travel curbs in the city and around the globe.
The decision to postpone the international sporting event, which is held every four specifically for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender athletes, came amid the “unpredictable progression” of variants as many countries in Asia struggled to contain the virus, Dennis Philipse, co-chair of the games in Hong Kong, said in a statement.
