Hong Kong restaurant says staff training inadequate after Paralympic athlete barred from entering over wheelchair

Boccia player Ho Yuen-kei, who won two gold medals at the Paris Paralympics, said in a post on social media platform Threads that the restaurant staff had told her there was no space for her wheelchair as it would obstruct other people.

A Hong Kong restaurant director has said that inadequate staff training was to blame after a Paralympic athlete was barred from entering because of her wheelchair.
