Hong Kong people are rallying in full force to support local athletes to achieve stellar results at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, with various events being launched across the city to amplify sporting excitement.

The 2024 Paris Summer Games opened on Friday evening in the French capital. During the athletic extravaganza, which will close on Aug 11, 35 Hong Kong athletes will compete in 13 events, including the city's strengths such as fencing, swimming and cycling.

For around half of the Hong Kong athletes, this will mark their debut Olympic experience, with an athlete from the city qualifying for taekwondo for the first time in history.
