In the overtime, Jiang Minxi withstood the huge pressure and won with one sword. He reversed the local players 13-12 and successfully won the gold medal for Hong Kong, China.
Jiang Minxi, who was born in 1994, started practicing fencing at the age of 11. However, her fencing career was not always smooth sailing. She suffered many serious injuries and the cruciate ligaments in both knees were damaged.
Previously, Jiang Minxi failed to achieve ideal results in two Olympic Games. He stopped in the top 16 at the Rio Olympics and the top 8 at the Tokyo Olympics. Despite failing to qualify for the Olympics twice, Jiang Minxi never gave up fencing. Finally, when she participated in the Olympic Games for the third time, she worked hard and helped Hong Kong, China, create history. After helping Hong Kong, China win the gold medal, she will also receive a US$770,000 (approximately 5.6 million yuan) reward from Hong Kong, China for the Olympic champion.
What is amazing is that Jiang Minxi is also a talented woman with outstanding appearance. In 2012, she was admitted to Stanford University in the United States to study for a bachelor's degree in international relations, and then studied for a master's degree in law at Renmin University. In 2021, Jiang Minxi enrolled in the Juris Doctor program at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Because of her cute and sweet appearance, her friendly smile, her straight nose, gentle facial features and the same oval face shape, Jiang Minxi was also praised by fans as "Lin Chiling in the epee world". Although he can clearly rely on his good looks and talent to get out of the entertainment industry, he is an Olympic champion with a "big heart". Jiang Minxi has become the pride of Hong Kong, China.
