The day’s action includes the wheelchair fencing women’s team épée event, which Hong Kong came home from Rio 2016 with a silver medal in, and hopes are high for another medal again.

The team of Justine Charissa Ng, Chung Yuen-ping and Alison Yu Chui-yee have an early start on the piste in what could be a long day with the gold medal match in the evening.

There will also be medals decided in the pool again, where Hong Kong’s Tang Wai-lok and Chan Yui-lam are back after Wednesday’s first swims.

On top of that there is also archery – with Ngai Ka-chuen getting his eye in – equestrian, where Natasha Tse Pui-ting and Fleur Schrader are in the mixed dressage and more pool table tennis matches for Ng Mui-wui and Wong Ting Ting.
