Gold medal-winning Hong Kong fencer Vivian Kong Man-wai received a heroine’s welcome on Thursday upon her arrival from the Paris Olympics, with fans calling her an inspiration.
The 30-year-old épéeist, who won the city’s first gold of this year’s Games on Sunday, made it to the arrival hall around 6.30am, a few hours after swimmer Siobhan Haughey clinched her second bronze medal.
