It has been a historic night for Hong Kong in Paris with two medal heroes of the Tokyo Games adding to their collection. First, Siobhan Haughey became the first athlete in Hong Kong history to claim a third Olympic medal, winning bronze in the women's 200 metres freestyle. Moments later, fencer Edgar Cheung went even better, retaining his Olympic men's foil title in an edge-of-your-seat finale against Filippo Macchi of Italy. Hailey Yip and Kelly Yu have more on another unbelievable night of sporting action in Paris:

A sports professor says fencer Vivian Kong's early gold medal broke the curse of Hong Kong never winning medals in consecutive events. Patrick Lau from the Baptist University's Department of Sport, Physical Education, and Health is in the French capital, Paris, for the Olympics, and witnessed fencer Edgar Cheung retain his foil title. He said the celebrity effect of having such stars would encourage more participation in sport. He also attributed sports science as a determining factor for success. Professor Lau spoke to Janice Wong:

A surgeon who performed two knee operations on Hong Kong fencing champion Vivian Kong says her quest for gold is proof of her resilience and determination. Patrick Yung, who chairs the department of orthopaedics and traumatology at the Chinese University, said he was touched by Kong's victory. Her journey to Olympic epee champion has been one of ups and downs, after suffering serious injury to her anterior cruciate ligaments. Professor Yung spoke to Kelly Yu in Paris about the fencer's recovery and triumph:

A sports professor says Kong's Olympic success will help inspire young people to follow their dreams and take up sport as a career.

The chairman of the Lan Kwai Fong Group, Allan Zeman, says the Games have given the bar trade in Hong Kong a modest boost, as people go out to watch the events. He says he expects a 10 percent rise in takings. Zeman said fencer Vivian Kong's gold medal lifted people's mood. But he told Elvis Yu that he did not expect the spending splurge to last:

It remains uncertain whether the men's triathlon will go ahead on Tuesday as scheduled because of pollution in the swimming venue, the Seine. If it does, the SAR's Jason Ng is due to dive in the water for his event. Meanwhile, SAR table tennis mixed doubles sensations, Doo Hoi-kem and Wong Chun-ting, will go for bronze after they lost a 4-3 nail-biter in the semi-finals on Monday. Hailey Yip reports from Paris:

Hong Kong's home prices have fallen to their lowest level in almost eight years. Official data showed that private property prices dropped for the second straight month in June, down 1.2 percent from May. But rents rose 0.2 percent month-on-month, the highest recorded in four-and-a-half years. Martin Wong, senior director and head of research and consultancy for Greater China at Knight Frank, told Frank Yung that high interest rates and an inventory of unsold units would continue to weigh down the housing market:

The American restaurant chain Outback Steakhouse says it will shut down nine of its 19 outlets in Hong Kong. About 300 workers are expected to lose their jobs as a result. Outback called it a difficult business decision. Anne Chan reports:

Hong Kong and Laos have signed 12 MOUs to further boost cooperation during Chief Executive John Lee's visit to the Asean member state. The CE says closer ties benefit the people of both places.

The governing council of the Chinese University has expressed disappointment over what it described as management "disruptions" when it bypassed the council to change the university's emblem two years ago. Vanessa Cheng reports:

An NGO says breast cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer among patients under the age of 40. The Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation also says the disease has become increasingly common in the city, which oncology specialist Dr Yau Chun-chung described as "alarming." Dr Yau, a vice-chairman of the foundation's management committee, said the NGO was rolling out a subsidy for financially needy patients for a new drug that reduces the risk of relapse by a third. He spoke to Janice Lo:

China's state planner is allocating 500 million yuan from the central budget to support recovery in five provinces in the wake of Typhoon Gaemi and torrential rains.

Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has vowed to give a severe response to Saturday’s strike on the Israeli occupied Golan Heights that killed 12 young people. Israel blames Hezbollah - an accusation denied by the group. A heightened state of alert is being reported in Lebanon, ahead of a possible reprisal by Israel.
