【Tokyo Olympics】Hong Kong Athletes Popularity Ranking

The Tokyo Olympics came to a successful conclusion. The Hong Kong team achieved outstanding results and won the most medals in history, which aroused heated discussions among the people. What was the online reaction during the Olympics? Which winning athlete received the most attention from netizens? Was fencing the most discussed event among netizens?

Hong Kong's UMax Data collected big data from July 16 to August 17 this year, using social listening (Social Listening) to analyze Netizens' views on Hong Kong athletes and their entries in the Tokyo Olympics.

Zhang Jialang's gold medal win was the most talked about by netizens

During the Olympics, Cheung Ka-long won the first Olympic gold medal in fencing in Hong Kong history, which caused widespread discussion. The "Lam Tai Fai incident" also caused widespread discussion. Artist Louis Koo posted a post on Facebook on July 27 to congratulate Cheung Ka-long (ranked 7th on the hot posts), and netizens commented "Lam Tai Fai is looking for money" to trigger discussion.

The "Lam Tai Fai incident" refers to the fact that Lam Tai Fai, chairman of the Hong Kong Sports Institute, once promised to guarantee that Olympic medal winners would "become owners".

Netizens are not paying as much attention to Lee Wai Sze's bronze medal as to this person?

As the Olympics came to an end, the popularity of Olympic-related interactions reached another peak on August 8, when Lee Wai-sze won the bronze medal in the field cycling sprint. The most popular post among netizens was a post on the Facebook page "Sports Focus" about "British gymnast Max Whitlock returned home and his daughter came to pick him up at the airport."

The item with the highest interaction volume is this one…

The top three most discussed events are all Hong Kong's medal-winning sports in the Olympics, but badminton is more popular than swimming and table tennis. This is probably because the "Ng Ka Long jersey incident" has caused a lot of discussion and continued to ferment, causing more responses. The most active online platform for discussion during the Olympics was Facebook, followed by forums.
