Hong Kong sign off with five gold at Dubai Asia-Oceania Championships

Hong Kong continued their winning run at the Shabab Al Ahli Club signing off with two gold medals on the final day of the 7th Fazza Dubai 2021 World Boccia Asia-Oceania Regional Championships on Friday.
After dominating the Individual events, Hong Kong finished as the most successful team in the Pairs/Team events, winning the BC3 Pairs Mixed and BC4 Pairs Mixed titles. Overall, they capped off their campaign at the Dubai 2021 Championships with five gold medals.

In BC4 Pairs Finals, Hong Kong’s Tokyo 2020 Paralympic medallist Yuk Wing Leung paired with Yuen Cheung to clinch the gold medal thumping Koreans Seongyuk Jang and Myungsoon Lee 10-0.

This was second title each for Wing Leung and Cheung, after their triumphs in the Individual events.

Thailand took the bronze with a 7-0 victory over Japan.

In BC3 Pairs, the Hong Kong team comprising Yuen Kei Ho and Tak Wah Tse finished on top with four wins in the Pool ahead of South Korea.

It was definitely a big confidence booster for the Hong Kong team to finish ahead of Tokyo 2020 Paralympic gold medallists Choi and Jeong.

Thailand were third with two wins.
