Athletes from China's Hong Kong SAR have delivered a knockout performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics, bagging 2 gold and 2 bronze medals so far! IOC member Timothy Fok cheered their \"fighting spirit\" and highlighted cross-region collaboration during an exclusive chat at the iconic China House exhibition.
Fencing stars Vivian Kong and Edgar Cheung led the charge – Kong slashed her way to victory in women’s epee, while Cheung struck gold in men’s foil. \"This result comes from years of sweat and grit\", Fok told reporters, shouting out support from the Chinese mainland’s sports organizations.
The China House cultural showcase became a hub of Olympic pride, with Fok calling it \"like visiting home\". Ancient Chinese sports artifacts met modern athletic ambition, proving culture and competition are a winning combo.
Fok emphasized how Hong Kong athletes inspire youth: \"Their dedication lights the way for the next generation\". With more events ahead, all eyes remain on these trailblazers rewriting the SAR’s sports history!
