History was made as Hong Kong's athletes delivered their most triumphant performance ever across the 15th National Games (NG), the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities (NGD) and the 9th National Special Olympic Games (NSOG). They didn't just compete—they have etched an unforgettable legacy and ignited unprecedented pride across the city.
Over two months of brilliant competition, Hong Kong athletes fought with all their might, securing a splendid result of 9 gold, 2 silver, and 8 bronze medals at the 15th NG. Among them, cycling athlete Lee Sze-wing was the first Hong Kong athlete to top the National Games podium three times. Lee successfully defended her Women’s Road Cycling Individual race title in Zhuhai, and partnered with Leung Wingyee on their home ground in Hong Kong to clinch gold in the women’s Madison track cycling event. She then stepped onto the highest spot of the podium for the first time in the Women’s Omnium in the track cycling event, becoming Hong Kong’s triple gold medalist.
Three-time Olympian and Hong Kong's flying fish, Siobhan Haughey, was equally dazzling. She powerfully secured gold in the 200m and 100m freestyle.
In a display of remarkable versatility and endurance, she competed in both the 50m breaststroke and 50m freestyle finals within a mere five-minute span, adding two bronze medals to her tally. Four medals in total—a brilliant new page in Hong Kong swimming history.
On the fencing piste, Cheung Ka-long, Choi Chun-yin, Leung Chin-yu, and Ng Lok-wang joined forces and calmed, overwhelming the Fujian team in the men's foil team event to win Hong Kong's first-ever National Games fencing gold medal.
Yet perhaps the most inspiring chapter of the historic Games belonged to Hong Kong’s largest-ever delegation to the NGD and NSOG: over 280 athletes supported by around 140 accompanying staff and medical team members, representing the breadth and depth of Hong Kong’s sporting talent.
They participated in 14 competition events and 4 mass participation events of the NGD, as well as 7 events of the NSOG. Ultimately, the delegation won 52 gold, 50 silver, and 40 bronze medals, for a total of 142 medals, setting a new historical record.
Behind every medal is a moving chapter forged from the athletes' sweat and willpower, a true manifestation of a tenacious, unyielding, and self-strengthening sporting spirit.
