An Olympics medal really means a great deal for small countries/territories with small population. If you have realised, the gold medals often go to the traditional sporting nations which are huge with a huge population where there is plenty of talents for them to groom.
Hong Kong managed to win its second olympics medal in history, a silver that went to the table tennis male doubles. The first medal, a Gold medal was won by Lee Lai San from the Sailing team in 1996 Atlanta games. So, this is effectively the first medal by Hong Kong after its handover. Have been trying to find the webcast of the Medal Presentation Ceremony to see the Hong Kong SAR flag be flown in the Olympic stadium but to no avail.....hmmm....it must be very breath-taking!!
Anyway, hope that Singapore's flag can be flown in an Olympics stadium after 44 years too. All the best to you, Li Jia Wei!
Someday, hopefully Macau will join the Olympics too! hehe...
