The Hong Kong team's sword fencing made a great continuation in the history of the Tokyo Olympics. The Hong Kong men's foil representative Zhang Jialang defeated the Czech swordsman to reach the final today (26), sitting on silver and looking for gold. The final will be held at 8:10 Hong Kong time tonight.
After Zhang Jialang entered the finals, Chief Executive Carrie Lam, Chief Secretary for Administration Li Jiachao, Financial Secretary Chen Maobo and others quickly posted posts to congratulate Zhang Jialang on his success through social networks.
Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor expressed his warm congratulations to Zhang Jialang for qualifying for the finals and urged the public to put down their hands and watch live TV to support Zhang Jialang in winning the gold.
Li Jiachao: Hong Kong citizens are deeply encouraged
Carrie Lam and the Secretary for Home Affairs, Xu Yingwei, "sit in rows" and applaud. Unlike the previous post, Carrie Lam is wearing a jacket with the Hong Kong regional emblem.
She said: "Congratulations to Hong Kong athlete Zhang Jialang for qualifying for the men's individual foil finals in the Tokyo Olympics! The finals will be held at 8:10 Hong Kong time tonight. Please put down your hands and watch live TV at that time to fully support Jialang's competition. Olympic gold medal!"
Chief Secretary for Administration Li Jiachao posted "warm congratulations" to Zhang Jialang on the eve of the Final Four.
He said: "Hong Kong athletes are committed to exerting their personal abilities and playing for Hong Kong. Hong Kong people are deeply encouraged."
The Financial Secretary, Chen Maobo, was relatively simple and straightforward. He pointed out: "Good Jialang! Cheer for the finals! Cheer for Hong Kong athletes!"
