Hong Kong's First Gold at Paris Olympics: Vivian Kong's Triumph and Sustainable MedalsšŸ„‡

On July 28th, Vivian Kong Man Wai won the first women's epee individual gold medal for the Hong Kong team in the Paris Olympics, which was also the first gold medal for Hong Kong at Paris OlympicsšŸ„‡. Vivian was overjoyed, feeling that she had demonstrated the never-give-up spirit of Hong Kong in this competitionšŸ’–.Ā The reaction from all sectors of Hong Kong society was enthusiastic, and congratulations were extended to the winning athlete and Hong Kong šŸ’.




It is remarkable that all the medals presented at the Paris Olympics šŸ…, including the gold medal donned by Vivian, have a piece of the original construction material from the Eiffel TowerĀ inlaid in their centers. This is not merely a design masterpieceĀ but a forceful assertion for environmental protection and ESG šŸŒ±. This intricate process demonstrates an outstanding commitment to sustainability šŸŒ³. Through repurposing the iron from the Eiffel Tower, the Paris Olympics lowers the demand for new raw materials and minimizing the environmental impact of mining and production šŸŒ. Just as the Paris organizing committee announce they aim to reduce more than 50 percent carbon compared to the last two Summer Olympics and stage a spectacular event while reducing the utilization of materials and energy to create "the greenest games ever" šŸ’Ŗ.
