National Games: Lee’s historic third gold, 2 bronze for Haughey – day 8, as it happened
Ceci Lee claims omnium gold on final night of track cycling at Hong Kong Velodrome, while Siobhan Haughey finishes third twice in a matter of minutes
It was a day when cyclist Ceci Lee Sze-wing became the first Hong Kong athlete to win three gold medals at one National Games, and Siobhan Haughey took on the superhuman task of swimming in two finals only five minutes apart.
Not bad for a Monday, as Lee herself pointed out.
Elsewhere, Coleman Wong Chak-lam led an army of the city’s tennis stars into battle in Zhuhai, while badminton’s Angus Ng Ka-long was delaying any thoughts of retirement as he chased a spot in the semi-finals of the men’s singles.
And not to forget about fencing, with the men’s épée and women’s foil competitions taking place at Kai Tak Arena.
