    I left Hong Kong at 16. It’s been decades but I’m still fluent in Cantonese. This brings me so much pride and joy. ❤ congrats to Vivian bravo to the French team.

    Kong changed her strategy to fake thrust, parry, thrust. Smart
  • @ansonpang

  • What a come back, Vivian! Amazing patience and resilience, and her Buddhist calmness.
  • @aolmonkey
    Yes Hong Kong represents when you’re down does it mean you’re out there’s always a come back congratulations Vivian!!
  • If I understand the terms correctly, Kong riposted the crap out of Mallo-Breton. Regardless of what it's called, great comeback and congratulations to Hong Kong. I just watched my Astros come back against the Dodgers in analogous fashion so I salute her tenacity.

    Didn’t think NBC will have a highlight of this event! It is an historic achievement for Hong Kong who only recorded their third gold medal in Olympics history! Congratulations to Vivian! At the same time, she is a Stanford graduate so it’s also a win for USA😊
  • @seasidescott
    I've been in that situation with similar result. Mallo was just trying to finish it, got sloppy, didn't adjust to the danger. Kong became extraordinary, dancing Mallo on to her point.
  • @arunr1289
    Vivian gives such an amazing example of a champions mindset here. Never gives up.
