Hundreds gather at HK mall to watch Tokyo Olympics

(30 Jul 2021) Hundreds of people gathered at a Hong Kong shopping mall to watch a live broadcast for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. The crowd cheered for Hong Kong born and raised swimmer Siobhan Haughey, who clinched a silver medal in the Women's 100 metre freestyle event she was competing in. Haughey now has two silver medals from Tokyo becoming the city's first-ever multiple medalist. The crowd also supported others who were competing for Hong Kong at the event. The supporters were seen waving both Hong Kong and China flags as they watched the Olympic events. Tokyo has so far proven to be the most successful games ever for the city of 7.5 million people on the south China coast. A gold medal in the men's foil event for fencer Cheung Ka Long was Hong Kong's first since the one-time British colony was reabsorbed by China in 1997.
