Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Hong Kong competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the territory's sixteenth appearance at the Summer Olympics, since its debut as a British colony in 1952.

Contents

The Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China sent a team of 37 athletes, 13 men and 24 women, to compete in nine sports at the Games. [3] [4] The nation's full roster in Rio de Janeiro was smaller by five athletes than in London, and also, featured more female athletes than males for only the second time in its Olympic history.

Eleven athletes from Hong Kong previously competed at London 2012, including bronze medalist Lee Wai Sze in track cycling, badminton player Yip Pui Yin in the women's singles, mountain biker Chan Chun Hing, and 37-year-old table tennis player Tie Ya Na, who attended her fourth Olympics as the oldest and most experienced member. Other notable athletes on the Hong Kong roster also featured Youth Olympians Doo Hoi Kem (table tennis) and 18-year-old Siobhán Haughey (swimming), Asia's top-ranked épée fencer Vivian Kong, and backstroke swimmer and three-time Olympian Stephanie Au, who was selected by the committee to carry the Hong Kong flag at the opening ceremony. [1] [5]

Unlike the previous Games, Hong Kong failed to win a single medal in Rio de Janeiro. The special administrative region's best medal hope, Lee Wai Sze missed out on a place in the finals of her respective track cycling events, following her involvement in the controversial clash in the women's keirin, and her quarterfinal defeat to Germany's eventual champion Kristina Vogel in the women's sprint. [6] Meanwhile, windsurfer Michael Cheng wrapped up his Olympic campaign with one of Hong Kong's most unexpected outcomes at the Games, finishing eighth overall. [7]
