Fencer Cheung Ka Long joined an exclusive club of athletes who won gold medals while representing Hong Kong with a win in the men's individual foil event final. The 24-year-old is only the second athlete to become an Olympic champion while competing for Hong Kong. The first came in 1996, a year before he was born, when Lee Lai Shan won gold in windsurfing at the Atlanta Games.
