Kaylin Hsieh wins bronze in women's épée in National Games

Hong Kong fencer Kaylin Hsieh Sin-yan unleashed a relentless offensive barrage to secure the bronze medal in the women's individual épée event at the National Games on Saturday, overpowering Guangdong's Mo Wanlin 15-9 in the third-place bout.

The victory adds another medal to Hong Kong's growing haul at the 15th National Games.

Her bronze medal in the women's individual épée at the 15th National Games not only brought pride to Hong Kong but also earned her a HK$150,000 cash award under the Jockey Club Athlete Incentives Award Scheme.

The Jockey Club has poured more than HK$500 million into supporting the 15th National Games, the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities, and the 9th National Special Olympic Games across Hong Kong and Guangdong venues, serving as the sole partner organization for the Hong Kong zone. 

Its contributions span volunteer programs, citywide community and school promotions, and special viewing experiences for underprivileged groups and youth. 

Nearly 100 Jockey Club volunteers also served as group volunteers in the Hong Kong zone.  

Hong Kong athletes medaling at these Games qualify for further Jockey Club-funded cash awards through the Hong Kong Sports Institute. 

Individual gold medallists receive HK$750,000, silver HK$375,000, and bronze HK$150,000, while team golds earn HK$1.5 million, silvers HK$750,000, and bronzes HK$300,000.
