Athletes from China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) had won two gold and two bronze medals at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics as of Friday.
International Olympic Committee (IOC) member Fok Tsun-Ting, also known as Timothy Fok, praised the delegation's athletes for their fighting spirit and thanked the Chinese mainland for its support while talking to CGTN Sports Scene's Hu Shichen at the China House in the French capital.
"Every time I go to the Olympic Games, I go to the China House and it's like seeing my own home," Fok said. "The China House exhibition is amazing. Many sports started in ancient China. I think it makes sense to combine sports and culture in Paris this time."
Kong Man Wai, also known as Vivian Kong, won the first gold for Hong Kong in the women's fencing epee individual event. Fellow fencer Cheung Ka Long, also known as Edgar Cheung, added the Chinese Special Administrative Region's second with his victory in the men's foil individual final.
"The tireless efforts of Hong Kong athletes have finally brought about this result," Fok added. "I would like to take this opportunity to thank the General Administration of Sport of China and many mainland organizations for their support of sports development in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, the fighting spirit and hard work of Hong Kong athletes can also serve as a good example to young people."
