I was scrolling through the different events and I happen to see a Hong Kong fencer narrowly lost a preliminary match to a European fencer despite having a big lead in the beginning. Is he that same athlete? If so it's a great comeback to win the gold medal.

I'm not an expert on fencing. But my rudimentary knowledge is that it is first to score 15 points wins. So I guess that what you saw was another Hong Kong fencer. I think there are three from hong kong in all.

What is interesting is that the gold medallist was almost knocked out in the quarter-final. He was 14-10 down. Great come back.

Extract from SCMP:

"After clinching the 15-11 win, Cheung embraced his coach, Greg Koenig, and finally let his steely mask slip with an outpouring of emotion. “Today he became a man,” declared Koenig afterwards.

Cheung earlier produced an incredible fightback to beat Russian Olympic Committee’s Kirill Borodachev when staring at elimination in the quarter-finals, coming from the brink of defeat at 14-10 down."

Well, since he likes black so much, he wouldn’t mind being put in Beijing’s black list.

Which will also solve his sponsorship issue since he will have zero sponsors in future, thereby removing any possibility of a clash.

That’s if he ever gets selected for anything in his life.

Yes indeed, woulf like to see him getting meaningful sponsorship. He just another 食碗面 反碗底

Maybe the Koreans and Americans were right to bring their own food after all....

Swimming, skeet shooting, diving, weightlifting, gymnastics, table tennis
China lost out on at least 6 steady golds yesterday. It's gonna be take a miracle to reach 30+ gold this year, especially when the events are biased toward America/Japan this year.

The Chinese olympic team bagged 7 medals on the third day but no gold unless you include HK.
