Hong Kong have participated at every Asian Games since Manila 1954, making it 18 appearances in all.

Initially, medals proved hard to come by as Hong Kong came away empty-handed from Bangkok in 1970 and Tehran in 1974.

Their first gold medal came at Seoul 1986 where Catherine Che Kuk-hung won the women’s singles bowling competition.

Since then, Hong Kong’s performances have continued to improve, gaining at least 40 medals from each of the past four editions.

At Jakarta-Palembang 2018, Hong Kong returned their biggest medal haul of 46 - surpassing their previous best of 43 achieved at Incheon 2014.

They improved again at Hangzhou 2022, winning 53 medals.

Hong Kong’s record-breaking collection included eight golds, 16 silvers and 29 bronzes as they finished 12th in the medal table.
