He won the individual foil gold medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, beating the reigning champion Daniele Garozzo 15 to 11 after trailing 1 to 4, which was Hong Kong's first Olympic gold medal in fencing, and defended the title at the 2024 Paris Olympics by defeating Filippo Macchi of Italy 15 to 14.
