Paris witnessed unforgettable moments at the 2024 Summer Olympics, especially for China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (Hong Kong SAR)! 🇭🇰✨
As of Friday, athletes from Hong Kong SAR clinched two gold and two bronze medals, marking one of their best performances ever. Talk about making history! 🏆🥇
International Olympic Committee (IOC) member Fok Tsun-Ting, aka Timothy Fok, couldn't hide his excitement. Speaking with Hu Shichen from CGTN Sports Scene at the China House in Paris, he praised the athletes' fighting spirit and shouted out to the Chinese mainland for its support.
\"Every time I go to the Olympic Games, visiting the China House feels like coming home,\" Fok shared with a smile. \"The exhibition is amazing. Many sports originated in ancient China. Combining sports and culture here in Paris just makes sense.\"
Shining bright among the stars is Kong Man Wai, also known as Vivian Kong, who snagged the first gold for Hong Kong SAR in women's individual epee fencing. 🥇✨ Not to be outdone, Cheung Ka Long, aka Edgar Cheung, added another gold in the men's individual foil final. Double golds for Hong Kong SAR! 🗡️🥇
\"The tireless dedication of Hong Kong athletes has finally paid off,\" Fok added. \"I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the General Administration of Sport of China and many organizations from the Chinese mainland for supporting sports development in Hong Kong SAR. Meanwhile, the fighting spirit and hard work of Hong Kong athletes can serve as a great example to young people.\"
These achievements not only bring pride to Hong Kong SAR but also inspire youth around the world. 🌍💫 Let's keep cheering and celebrating the sporting spirit that unites us all! 🎉
