2nd October 2026 – (Nagoya) Hong Kong’s women secured a second successive Asian Games silver medal after a 2–1 defeat to Malaysia in the team final. The tie opened with Ho Tze-kok battling hard against Aifa Azman but losing in straight games 9–11, 9–11, 10–12 after a third‑game collision that required treatment. Hong Kong hit back when Chan Sin-yuk overturned a mid‑match deficit to beat women’s singles champion Sivasangari Subramaniam 11–7, 9–11, 9–11, 11–5, 11–7, forcing a decider.

Malaysia held firm in the final rubber to clinch gold, leaving Hong Kong with a commendable silver to add to their haul of one gold, one silver and two bronze in Nagoya.
