Hong Kong rower Chiu Hin-chun is looking to take part in his second Olympics next week.

The 29-year-old clinched gold in men's single sculls in the lightweight category of the World Rowing Cup in May, which involved athletes weighing no more than 72.5 kilogrammes. Now, he's taking on a whole new challenge by participating in the open category in the Paris Games.

Chiu told RTHK he's adopting a new strategy that he believes will better prepare him against the "real giants".
