The women’s team foil quartet of Kuan Yu-ching, Valerie Cheng Hiu-wai, Sophia Wu and Daphne Chan Nok-sze claimed fencing bronze after bowing out in the semi-finals.
Then equestrian rider Jacqueline Siu Wing-ying collected silver in the individual dressage, two days after helping Hong Kong’s team dressage trio to bronze.
At the velodrome, Leung Ka-yu took a thrilling second place in the men’s omnium after Yang Qianyu and Ceci Lee Sze-wing did likewise in the women’s Madison.
In the omnium – cycling’s equivalent of the decathlon, featuring four events in one day – Leung delivered an explosive performance in the closing points race, finishing second to overhaul UAE rider Ahmed Almansoori. Japan’s Kazushige Kuboki won the points race and gold.
