Hong Kong Wins Most Olympic Golds Ever After Fencing Victories

Hong Kong fencer Edgar Cheung won the men’s individual foil finals at the Paris Olympics, the first time the Asian financial hub clinched multiple gold medals in the international tournament.

Cheung edged out Italy’s Filippo Macchi late Monday in Paris after a close match, defending his title from the Tokyo Olympics. He is only the third fencer in Olympic history to have successfully defended one’s title in the event.
