Hong Kong's women wheelchair fencers proved they are among the best in the world when they beat Hungary to clinch the gold medal in the epee team event at the Paralympic Games in Athens on Sunday.
Hong Kong occupied fifth place in the medal table with four golds and three silvers after just two days of competition in Greece.
China led the standings ahead of yesterday's competitions with five gold, six silver, and two bronze medals. Spain and Germany were second and third with 14 medals so far.
It is the first time the SAR's women wheelchair fencers have joined their male counterparts at the Paralympic Games, and their presence has boosted the squad's medal-winning potential.
On Saturday, Alison Yu Chui-yee and Fan Pui-shan won gold and silver, respectively, in the women's individual epee Category A event. Chan Yui-chong won a silver medal in Category B.
Alison, a Form Seven student, is on track to win four gold medals, her target before the Games started.
In men's individual foil, Fung Ying-ki and Hui Charn-hung both grabbed gold in Category A and Category B, respectively.
