First National Games Medal for Hong Kong
Nicholas Halliday has given Hong Kong's National Games campaign a boost after claiming sailing gold in Guangdong.
Halliday, a 26-year-old Paris Olympian, needed only a top-six finish to top the standings in the men's ILCA 7 discipline. He came home fourth in Shanwei to clinch the city's first medal of the Games.
This achievement makes Halliday the first sailing gold medallist from Hong Kong in any edition of the national multisport showpiece. Previously, Lee Lai-shan, the 1996 Olympic champion windsurfer, earned Hong Kong's only other National Games sailing podium finish with a silver medal in 2001.
Author's summary: Halliday wins Hong Kong's first sailing gold.
