My personal vote goes to Pan Zhanle by breaking his own WR in 100M by a good enough margin once again. His lead against his opponents was so huge, many called for him to undergo doping tests

- The Paris Olympics kicked off with a thrilling first day, featuring a variety of events from swimming to fencing, and Hong Kong's Vivian Kong leading the charge in women's epee. - Hong Kong's athletes are competing across multiple disciplines including table tennis, badminton, judo, rowing, gymnastics, and swimming, making it a day full of excitement and anticipation. - Despite some early eliminations, such as Wong Ka-lee in judo, the spirit remains high with athletes like Happy Lo Sin-yan soaking in the atmosphere at the opening ceremony. - The swimming events are drawing significant attention, especially the women's 400m freestyle, with queues forming early outside the venue. - China's athletes are also making strong starts, particularly in badminton and diving, with expectations high for early gold medals.
