Hong Kong won silver in the men's sabre team event in wheelchair fencing at the Asian Para Games in Hangzhou on Tuesday.

The team with Sean Glass, Chan Wing-kin, and Kwong Yuen-hing lost 38-45 to Thailand, who captured the gold.

After the tournament, Kwong told RTHK he felt honoured that he could represent the SAR.

"I think my physical fitness is fine but I need some time to practice and improve upon my technical skills," he said.

"I want to thank the Paralympic Committee and the Sports Association for the Physically Disabled for giving us the chance to compete and bring honour to Hong Kong. I hope there are more opportunities in the future to practice and compete. I will work hard."
