The Hong Kong administration earlier announced that it will send 35 athletes to compete in 13 events in the Games, including the "Tang-Tse pair," who will be among the six-strong badminton team. Both Tang and Tse said they are hoping to make up for their shortfall in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, finishing fourth in mixed doubles. However, Group C with the "Tang-Tse pair" will go with three teams, giving the Hong Kong pair a greater chance to snatch one of the two places to qualify for the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, Wong Ka-lee will compete in the women's category under 48 kilograms, making her the third Hong Kong judo athlete to compete in the Olympics. "Athletes might not be in their best condition in every competition, but we have spent a lot of time and effort," Wong added.
