Edgar Cheung Ka-long has given Hong Kong only its second Olympic gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Cheung’s individual men’s singles fencing victory on July 26, 2021, came 25 years after windsurfing champion Lee Lai-shan won Hong Kong’s first gold medal in 1996, a year before Cheung was born. Described as an unassuming but dedicated foil athlete, the newly crowned gold medallist had long dreamed of competing among the world’s elite in the sport.

His gold medal goes into HK's tally not China's lol
The Chinese are proud of him
@@crzer07 china is hongkong..every cantonese is china..u admit or not ..hongkongers are china
@@crzer07 HK is part of China. Hong kong protesters are not. You can get the f out. Cant stick to facts? All right im gonna call you wumao.
@Monarch free ur mom
@Monarch weak
@@crzer07 you=/= hk. you equal to low trash part of society that dose not represent anything. HK goverment equals to china, which recognise it self as chinese and pro bejing in every perspective
Which flag that used, Hong Kong or China? I want to watch the receiving medal ceremony.
If he was smart he would have demanded the PRC flag and made a fortune after he returned from the Olympics ! The seperate medal counts between the PRC, Hong-Kong, Macau and even Taipei weakens the PRC's medal count against the Americans !
waiting for more troll comments....gotta find a way to politise everything
Even small country like HK gets 1 gold
I ashamed of my country India
1.3 billion population but still not getting a gold medal in olympics 😣
That's cuz we invest way too much on cricket (even there we're not getting anything lol) and don't concentrate on othet sports apart from that our primary focus is on education and education alone.
HK is a city state not a country. At his medal awarding ceremony the Chinese anthem was played while the Hong Kong flag was raised. Before you call me cpc shill, I'm neither HKer or a Chinese, just stating the facts
@@SS-yv9cq nobody is Calling u anything dude chill, we're just lamenting over the fact that our India couldn't secure any major medals despite being the most populous Country in the world (en route to becoming one, it's still China but we'll soon overpass them)
@@anupriyaveda3550 how fast is soon?
BTW congrats on your silver medal and philippine gold, impressive accomplishments!
a country？ Chinese anthem was play ing when he received the medal you idiot. China just received three gold medal today by the way
I'm not a big fan of China but very well done to you
So countries have fans nowadays? 🙄
idk theres a china fan club, but im part of china air con club
@@crzer07 you are qrazy brainwash
@@SS-yv9cq he is a fan of Epstein's island
Thank you!
The Tvb reporter is very interesting
No kidding. The lady seems not being educated at all
in what way? wish the guy reporter wud practise w marbles --as in my fair lady
cool
Very well done.
So we're gonna gonna be told how he won in the Olympics?
Edgar is definitely a strange Chinese name
He is from Hong Kong! He will never represent China!
@@dwaynethewokjohnson6646 it’s not about which country he is in..... people in Hong Kong are Chinese by ethnicity
There is no hongkongese ethnic group
@@dwaynethewokjohnson6646 ‘will never’ looks like you were him...
@@dwaynethewokjohnson6646 we kashmiris dont represent india
@@crzer07 i think only you..just go to british or US and tell them that you are western then
Congrats love from 🇵🇰
Someday ago SCMP reported that the brightest are leaving Hongkong. Actually, they are not the brightest, they are the cheater, they have no patriotism. The brightest will always live in Hongkong or where they live, they will do for their motherland and they will bring victory.
Motherland :)
You can't please everybody
中国香港加油 💪
another gold for china big deal
Isnt it called China -kong now?
Did he sing "Glory to Hong Kong" or "March of the Volunteers" in Tokyo?
march of the volunteers
Not all HKers are brainwashed orcs out to destroy their country
Listen to what he said & you'll find the answer 😉🤫
Depends on his sense of self-preservation.
well done🇨🇳🇭🇰
