Pro-China Party Angers Hong Kong Sport Fans for Attacking #Badminton Star for Wearing Black
After being attacked by a member of DAB, a pro-China party, for donning black in Tokyo Olympics, Hong Kong Badminton athlete Angus Ka-long Ng lost his latest match in the elimination round on July 28, 2021. Ng expressed immense disappointment but thanked his supporters for rooting for him.
Ng has won in an earlier match against Mexican representative Lino Munoz on July 25. Despite his victory, Ng had to spend time between matches to respond to the criticism sparked by the pro-Beijing camp--its members had demanded Ng to withdraw from the Olympics, all because he has worn a black tee shirt.
It can only be assumed that the pro-Beijing party associated the color black to pro-democracy movement which they oppose.
Ng explained on his social media page that he has no sponsor and received no authorization to print the Hong Kong SAR emblem on his own tee shirt.
The criticism of the pro-Beijing camp led to the rapid change of Ng's tee shirt by the Hong Kong Olympics Commitee within days.
On July 28, Ng was given a new tee-shirt in white and green, printed with the Hong Kong SAR emblem, sponsored by Fila, in a competion with Kevin Cordon, representative of Guatemala. However, the tee-shirt was not Ng's first choice for his match. During the match, he kept wiping the sweat that was not absorbed by the tee shirt.
After losing the match, Ng expressed his frustration and thanked his supporters on Instagram. "I am moved by all the support and encouragement. I know I'm not alone. Maybe some people are destined to play tragic roles in life," the Hong Kong Badminton star wrote. "I will stand up again, but it'll take some time."
The pro-Beijing camp's criticism over Ng's black tee shirt has angered many people in Hong Kong. Many netizens felt for Ng and pointed out that the incident has imposed unnecessary pressure on Hong Kong athletes in international games.

Hong Kong Athlete #GraceLau Wins Bronze in #TokyoOlymoics' Kata Competition
Grace Lau Mo-seung won a Brozen Medal in the "Kata" event for her home Hong Kong in the Tokyo Olympics on August 5, 2021.
It is the first and the last time for the Karate competition to be included in the Olympics. 29-yearm-old Lau said in tears after the match that this medal means a lot to her in her athlete career and entering the Olympic games is itself an achievement.
She recalled a few years ago when she first learnt that karate would become an event in the Olympics. She did not think of having a chance to enter the comprtition, but she still did all her best.
On the day of her competition in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she was exhausted after the morning's session. She said to herself before the medal match, "no matter how tired I am, I have to squeeze the last bit of my energy out. I cannot let myself regret later."
She said she had to "thank many people", especially her family, "if there is no support from my family, it is very hard to be a full time athlete [in Hong Kong]."
Lau helped Hong Kong to win the second Bronze medal of the day, after the women's table tennis team.

Speaking to the media, Chu thanked Hongkongers for their support and asked the public to continue supporting Hong Kong athletes and anyone who likes to do sport, regardless of their levels and categories.
"Whether they are elite athletes or athletes with potentials, the spectators can hardly witness their hardwork, injuries and difficulties in the long process of training," Chu said.
"The 30 minutes seen by the spectators in a match worthes perhaps 10 years of practices, for one to shine in the field."
Chu reminded his fellow Hongkongers, "Please support Hong Kong athletes, whether they are able-body or not, professional or amateur. Do support anyone who likes doing sport. Do enjoy sport."

Man who Posted Video of Olympic Gold Ceremony with "Glory to Hong Kong" Now Charged with "Insulting National Anthem of China"
When Hong Kong fencer #CheungKaLong won a #GoldMedal at the #TokyoOlympics in July 2021, many Hongkongers were overjoyed. Among them, a 27-year-old man published a video of the medal ceremony on the Internet, replacing the audio of China's national anthem with "Glory to Hong Kong," an anthem of the 2019 #AntiELAB movement.
One year later, the man was now charged with "insulting the national anthem of China" and "insulting the emblem of the Hong Kong SAR."
The case was heard in the Eastern Magistrates on July 22, 2022. The man was not represented by any counsel. The magistrate accepted the man's request to postpone the hearing to September 2, 2022, so that the man can look for a lawyer.
