[@MeLikeTennis]

What a beautiful soul and person. I just got to know about her as I'm watching her on the Olympics right now. Didn't realize we have a world no. 1 from HK. But beyond that, her work ethic, the message she portrays to the younger generation and her choice of being a vegan despite being an athlete gives me hope in humanity. If only she could talk to my 2 sons in inspiring them on getting them off the couch and their iPads.

[@ShiyuanHu-b6r]

I'm so proud of you, it's incredible your history, congratulations for the gold medal of JO 2024... I saw the final match between you and A.

[@celestialtoystore]

Something amazing is happening in Fencing in Hong Kong. With the emergence of Edgar Cheung in men's foil and Vivian in women's epee, it's driving huge interest and huge amounts of money flooding into grassroots fencing with affluent middle class families sending their kids fencing. This can only bode well for the future of the sport in Hong Kong and I predict Hong Kong will shortly becoming a fencing powerhouse just like Korea. As a Hong Kong born fencer, this makes me very proud.

[@HkgHkg-gu3rd]

Edgar Cheung is amazing and you can see him so young and already receiving two gold medals from Olympics alone. As for Kong, she is something of a rarity because after 1991, there were very few communist countries sending their athletes and won them awards.

[@vanwin2804]

Incredible spirit, attitude and humility, your resilience is a huge inspiration, Vivian, truly the pride of HK, thank you for representing us!

[@cypheredheart]

Girl... not only HK, mainland and the Chinese around the world are proud of you too. Keep it up, all the best... and continue to inspire others...🎉

9:03 and yes, here comes Vivian who once again has created new milestone. You did what you said, and you definitely fenced more than the time you were in 2016 Rio. Pride of Hong Kong, nothing should be apologised. Couldn’t be more proud as a Hongkonger.🇭🇰❤️

[@koruki]

Wow for someone who only went to college in the U.S she really nailed her English and perfected her accent. None of the usual HK English accents I’m used to hearing. What an over achiever 🎉

[@neige3661]

She is actually a native English speaker because she attended international schools in Hong Kong. She speaks Cantonese and Mandarin fluently, but not as good as her English. She speaks Chinese with an a little bit of English accent and occasionally cannot find the words in Chinese.

[@koruki]

@@neige3661 that makes sense, from the recent interviews I would almost say her english is even more native sounding than her Cantonese lol

[@kashwai1661]

The further research her profile, Vivian Kong which is another ICON and Legend to Hong Kong Fencing Team. Though she is unable to earn any medal in Tokyo Olympics. She is very young and still have many chances to perform her fencing skills. Keep on working hard for your next game. No reason to despair. Just like the Age 10 gris saying. You are the role model to a lot of Hong Kong Teenagers (Especially, Hong Kong under a turmoil atmosphere right now.)

[@freemanlee5655]

Well she already reached world rank no.1 on her category before. If she can keep up the level, it is just the matter of luck to get the medals.

I too tore my acl and still working on recovery. Actually, I'm a mess; torn acl, dislocated right shoulder, and tendonitis. Because of those, I developed plantar fasciitis due to lack of activity making walking difficult. Slow progress of healing. Slowly but surely, one day I'll be able to fence again.
