Hongkongers applaud badminton pair despite close loss in Olympic bronze medal match

Hong Kong badminton pair Tang Chun-man and Tse Ying-suet came close but ultimately fell short in their push for Olympics glory on July 30, 2021. Fans watching in Hong Kong applauded despite their loss in the dramatic mixed doubles match with Japan at the Tokyo Olympics. The duo became the first shuttlers from the city to compete in a Games final. The loss was especially poignant for Tse, a veteran of London 2012 and Rio 2016, since she has announced that Tokyo 2020 could be her last Olympics.
