Daphne Chan clinched a bronze medal for Hong Kong in the women’s foil individual fencing event on Monday at the Asian Games in Hangzhou.
The 18-year-old fencer lost 7-15 in her semi-final match against Japan's Ueno Yuka.
"I sprained my ankle early on in the match. The injury wasn't serious, but it might have affected my performance a little bit, as I sometimes get nervous when I am hurt," said Chan.
"But I'm still happy, as this is the first time for me to join the Asian Games. I'm surprised that I am lucky enough to have a chance to finish on the podium."
This is the SAR's fourth medal in fencing in the Games.
