Olympic wins offer golden opportunity for HK fencing

China Daily  

Cheung Ka-long of Hong Kong, China, celebrates winning against Italy's Filippo Macchi in the Paris 2024 Olympics men's foil individual gold-medal bout at the Grand Palais in Paris on Monday. AFP HONG KONG — Twelve-year-old Hong Kong fencing beginner Lloyd found a new role model over the weekend — "Sword Queen" Vivian Kong Man-wai, who clawed back a 7-1 deficit in the women's epee final to win Olympic gold in Paris. "I woke up to the pleasant surprise of Vivian Kong," Lloyd told reporters on Monday at a fencing school in the Central district of Hong Kong, China. "Vivian Kong being a woman athlete has, perhaps, enabled some parents to see the possibility of their girls winning an Olympic medal," Lau said. Lau said that the city could uncover more talent if "satellite training bases" outside the Hong Kong Sports Institute could be set up around the city, and if parents could lend more support.
