Hong Kong athletes will receive a diamond worth 100,000 yuan ($14,770) if they break a world record at November's Asian Games in neighbouring Guangzhou.
Breaking an Asian record at the Games would earn the athlete a diamond worth 50,000 yuan from a local sponsor, according to a report on the Chinanews service on Wednesday.
At the last Asian Games in Doha four years ago, the only world marks set were in weightlifting and shooting, while a majority of continental records remained intact.
