Our star swimmer Siobhan Haughey has done it again – bagging the second bronze medal for #TeamHongKong in the women’s 100m freestyle finals! 🏊🏼♀️🥉 She’s etched her name in the city’s sporting history as the first athlete with four medals from the quadrennial games 👏🏼 Despite her stellar performance in the fiercely competitive race, Siobhan humbly told reporters that her goal in this year’s competition was not so much about winning a medal, but rather giving it her all and knowing where her strength is 💪🏼 Her determination to keep challenging herself is a living example that #passion and #perserverance would guide us through the waves towards our dreams 🌊 #ZA #ZABank #YourFutureBankForNow

What a nail-biting night it’s been for many Hongkongers! 🥵 But we’re very proud to witness #TeamHongKong adding two more medals to the city’s tally! 🥇🥉 Huge congratulations to Siobhan Haughey for clinching the bronze medal in the women’s 200m freestyle finals following a stunning performance in the pool 🏊♀️, and becoming Hong Kong’s most decorated athlete with three medals in this mega-sports event. And of course, hats off to ‘comeback king’ fencer Edgar Cheung Ka-long 🤺, who secured his 15-14 victory with a decisive winning strike and claimed his second consecutive gold medal in the men's foil individual finals ✌🏼 Edgar's historic win made him the first athlete in 68 years to retain the individual foil title, and the third one ever to do so. His words to the media will certainly go down in history as a reminder of how #HongKongSpirit shines even in the most difficult situations: ‘We have proved that even if Hong Kong is a very small place, we can still achieve many different things.’ Let’s continue to support our amazing Hong Kong athletes! 💪🏼🇭🇰 #ZA #ZABank #YourFutureBankForNow #TrustYourself

Congratulations to fencing star Vivian Kong Man-wai on becoming a champion in the women’s individual épée finals 🎉 – Hong Kong’s first medal in this year's games, and the city’s third-ever gold medal in history! 🥇 From a six-point deficit, a jaw-dropping comeback, a sudden death fence-off to the 13-12 winning hit 🤺, your perseverance is an inspiration to us all on how to stay focused on the goal and rise above and beyond in the face of immense pressure. Massive thanks to Vivian for showing the world what #HongKongSpirit truly means 💪🏼 ‘GA YAU’, #TeamHongKong! 🇭🇰 📸 Photo credit: EPA-EFE #ZA #ZABank #YourFutureBankForNow
