The male swordsman Luo Haotian competed separately.

This is also the 30th Olympic ticket for the Hong Kong delegation.
He Weiheng participated in the Tokyo Olympics Asian region qualifying tournament three years ago, but unfortunately he was stopped in the top 16. After three years, Hong Kong is competing for the Olympic qualifiers. Hong Kong, ranked 52nd in the world, is the highest ranked among the 24 participating shooters. He also performed well in the morning group stage. the first game, then became more and more courageous in battle. Won all 5 matches and qualified first in aggregate score, entering directly into the first 16 knockout rounds.

He regained the lead after holding on, but lost the points one after the other at 10:8, falling behind at 12:13 and 13:14. After elimination, He Weicheng showed his “big heart” and equalized at 14:14. Then he beat his opponent 15:14 in a “sword showdown” and entered the final in exciting fashion, just one step away from the Olympic Hall.
In the final duel between He Weiheng and 118th-ranked Uzbek swordsman NURMATOV Javokhirbek, he maintained the upper hand after the start and was tied at 5:5 in the middle.
