Swimmer Tang Wai-lok took Hong Kong's first gold medal of the Hangzhou Asian Para Games on Monday, leading home a one-two-three for the SAR in the 200 metres S14 freestyle.

Tang, the Asian record holder, broke the Asian Games record he set in the heats with a time of 1:56.76 to secure the gold, almost a second ahead of teammate Cheung Tsun-lok, who finished second.

The bronze medal also went to the Hong Kong team with Wong Hon-yin coming in third.

It's another medal for the collection of Tang, 26, who became Hong Kong's first Paralympic swimming gold medalist in 2016.
