HK wins silver in women's wheelchair épée at Asian Para Games

Hong Kong's women wheelchair épée fencers clinched the silver medal at the Asian Para Games in recent events. They defeated Uzbekistan 30-14 in the semifinals but fell short against Japan 30-10 in the final. Despite the tough competition, the quartet of Yu Chui-yee, Lam Ka-man, Tong Nga-ting, and Fan Pui-shan demonstrated remarkable perseverance.

Progress in disabled sports

The team's outstanding performance reflects the competitive spirit of Hong Kong's disabled athletes in international competitions. In recent years, Hong Kong has seen significant progress in various sectors of disabled sports, achieving multiple successes in international events.

This silver medal is not only the result of individual efforts but also a testament to the development of disabled sports in Hong Kong. The development of disabled sports in Hong Kong is supported by both the government and the community. Since the 2011 launch of a policy to support disabled people's recreation and sports development, specialized athlete development programs have been established, alongside multiple organizations and community activities focused on disabled sports. These measures not only enhance the training levels of athletes but also promote the popularization of disabled sports within the region.
