Tokyo Paralympics: Hong Kong adds a silver lining to its campaign with 2 medals on the final day of competition

Hong Kong concluded its Tokyo 2020 Paralympics campaign on a high note yesterday on the final day of competition as the curtain fell on a largely successful summer of sport in a Covid-19-beleaguered Japan. China, which finished second on the medal table behind the United States at last month’s Olympics, went one better at the Paralympics and dominated the count.

The Hong Kong mission to Tokyo almost doubled its medal haul on the last day of competition in the Japanese capital when Chu Man-kai delivered the city its second silver medal of the Games in the newly introduced badminton event. That came shortly after teammate Daniel Chan Ho-yuen sealed Hong Kong’s third bronze of the Games, also in badminton.
