Hong Kong athletes returned to the city on Sunday after achieving their outstanding achievements in the Asian Para Games and were greeted with a warm reception.

The representatives won a total of 47 medals, comprising eight golds, 15 silvers, and 24 bronzes.

Gold medalist swimmer Tang Wai-lok, who also broke the game record for the men's S14 200m freestyle, stated that he was very nervous before the event but was glad that it ended without issues and thanked the public for supporting the athletes.

Alison Yu Chui-yee, who won one silver and three bronzes, hoped that the comeback they made against their Thai rivals during the women's team foil semifinals served as an encouragement for people in Hong Kong during these rough times.

Gold medalist lawn bowler Yeung Hiu-lam was glad to see herself continuously improve after each of the Asian Para Games and ultimately win a gold medal this year.
