Having won her second world cup title in Barcelona recently, Vivian Kong Man Wai (¦¿ÌÉå¢), a Hong Kong born fencer (¼CÀ»¤â), ranks second in the Senior ˆ[pˆme (­«¼C) category among Individual Women fencers worldwide. Like many athletes, Vivian has been beset by injuries in her career and had surgery in her cruciate ligament (¤Q¦r¶´±a) in her left knee. However, Vivian rose above the difficulties and has performed extraordinarily in a series of international competitions, and is now aiming at a medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

After her surgery, Vivian recovered and participated in the 2018 Asian Games. She was selected to be a flag bearer for the Hong Kong team.

Vivian is a left-hander. Her coach suggested that this was an advantage among common right-handed fencers and thus spent a lot of effort in improving her techniques. She tries to stay healthy after her surgery. Going vegan is one of the ways. (photo.3-4)
