Chan Kin-wa

Hong Kong boosted their hopes of further medals at the Paralympic Games after registering mixed results in boccia in Rio de Janeiro.
The mixed team of Kwok Hoi-ying, Leung Mei-yee, John Loung and Yeung Hiu-lam will face Argentina in the quarter-finals after registering one win and a defeat in the group stage.
Hong Kong suffered a narrow 5-4 defeat by hosts Brazil at the start of their boccia (BC1) campaign, but bounced back to cruise to a comfortable 6-3 win over Spain at Carioca Arena 2.
Argentina, though, will pose a much greater threat in the last eight tie having topped their group with a 100% record after beating Slovakia 5-4 and Portugal 7-1.

Elsewhere, Choi Yuen-lung finished 11th in the women’s individual compound archery event with a score of 642 and will face China’s Lin Yueshan in the round of 16.
