#NewsSharing🌋 #EnglishEverywhere🌋 Hong Kong fencer Cheung Ka-long wins gold in Tokyo Hong Kong’s top male fencer Cheung Ka-long has claimed (奪得) gold at the Tokyo Olympic Games – after defeating the reigning (衛冕的) Olympic champion, Daniele Garozzo of Italy, 15-11 in a nail-biting (緊張刺激的) final of the men’s individual foil (花劍). His gold is Hong Kong’s first medal in the sport, second-ever gold, and fourth Olympics medal in history. Cheung went down 1-4 early on in the contest, before rallying (重整) and taking five straight points to go up 6-4 and pulling away to 10-5. But the Italian fought back (反擊) to defend his Olympic crown, taking Cheung to 13-11. With a gold medal on the line (攸關), Cheung held his nerve (保持冷靜) taking the next two points to close out (結束) the final 15-11. Speaking immediately after the final, Cheung said he was finding it difficult to believe he had actually won gold. He said he hoped this has a positive impact on fencing in Hong Kong and shows that local fencers can win not only in Asia, but also on the world stage. Cheung, a former junior world champion, had already made history in his run to the final by becoming Hong Kong’s first fencer (劍擊手) to reach an Olympic semi-final (準決賽). To get there, the 24-year-old beat the top-seeded (頭號種子) Italian Alessio Foconi, 15-3, then followed that up with a thrilling (令人興奮的) come-from-behind (後來居上的) 15-14 victory (勝利) over ROC athlete Kirill Borodachev. Alexander Choupenitch was Cheung’s next victim – the Czech Republic fencer going down 15-10 in the semi-finals to guarantee (保證) that Hong Kong would be getting its first medal in Tokyo. In the bronze medal bout (比賽), Choupenitch defeated Japan’s Takahiro Shikine 15-8.

When we speak of Argentinian wines, what wines come to your mind first? Malbec or Torrentés perhaps, but wines of Argentina are more than that. Thanks to the Andes, semi-arid climate, high altitudes, and visionary winegrowers and winemakers, Argentinian wines have a lot to offer. ​ ​ ​ Last week, I had the opportunity to attend #MakingWineHistory , an absolutely dreamy in person tasting hosted by @winesofarg at the Consulate of Argentina in NYC. Throughout the night, sommelier @carrielynstrong led us tasting through an array of reds and whites made with different grape varieties and styles, providing a glimpse of the current state of Argentinian wines. 🇦🇷 ​ ​ Thanks @veronicaruizkathuria for organizing this amazing tasting and bringing a piece of Argentina to us in the big apple. ​ ​ #酒意思 #sipwithjoyce ​ #argentinewinesinstagramers ​ ​ #wineoclock #wineinstagram #winetime ​ #drinkmorewine #winelifestyle #wino​ #winetasting #wineenthusiast ​ #wineofargentina #wineoftheday ​ #picoftheday #backtonornal​ #asianwineprofessional #sommelier ​ #sommlife #nyc #ワイン #포도주 ​ #部落客 #葡萄酒 #品酒 #侍酒師
