Hong Kong, China's sailing squad on Friday put on a show at the Asian Games, capturing two gold medals and a silver.

Meanwhile, Chloe Kong and McCarley Wong reigned supreme in the girls' skiff on 14 net points, seeing off hosts Japan. Olympian Nicholas Halliday clinched silver in the men’s ILCA 7 dinghy with 11 net points, two behind South Korean gold medallist Ha Jee-min. In the women's dinghy, Stephanie Norton narrowly missed out on bronze, after tying with third-placed India on net points and losing the tie-break on final race placement. The SAR has now won seven gold medals at this year's Games. Edited by Edmond Fong
