Dozens of medal-winning Olympians from the Chinese mainland brought star power to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) this week! 🌟 A delegation of 65 athletes – including 59 gold medalists – and eight coaches held lively talks and cultural exchanges following their triumph at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics.
Table tennis champion Fan Zhendong shared his excitement: \"This is my first Hong Kong visit with the delegation. We want to connect closely with all communities here!\" Swimmer Zhang Yufei, who won six medals, playfully reminisced about local snacks: \"I’d grab har gow dumplings between competitions – Hong Kong’s flavors are unforgettable!\"
Four-time visitor Ma Long (table tennis team captain) and teenage diving sensation Quan Hongchan also inspired crowds. Quan encouraged fans: \"Chase what you love fearlessly!\" 🏊♀️💥
