Hong Kong competed at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, United States, for the last time as a British colony.
At these Games, Hong Kong won its first ever Olympic medal. Lee Lai Shan won a gold medal in sailing, in the board (mistral) event.
Famous quotes containing the word summer:
“Why doesn’t the United States take over the monarchy and unite with England? England does have important assets. Naturally the longer you wait, the more they will dwindle. At least you could use it for a summer resort instead of Maine.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
