Olympic qualifications
Hi! Can I ask why it's so important to you that there be a full separate paragraph about the olympic qualifications in Lau Kwok Kin? Given that it doesn't have any sources attached to it, it's already kind of iffy information to include at all, and having its own paragraph there doesn't really match the way we write articles. We generally include information as it relates to the article's subject, not separately. EasyAsPai (talk) 18:51, 28 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you for raising this question. The importance of being competitive and qualified for the Olympics can be explained as follows:
 * Prior to 1996, any fencer from Hong Kong could participate in the Olympics without any restrictions on the number of participants. This meant that the fencers representing Hong Kong were not necessarily the ones who had gone through a rigorous selection process and competed against fencers from the Asian-Oceanic Region (AOR).
 * However, since the rule change, there has been a significant shift in the qualification process. Lau Kwok Kin became the first fencer from Hong Kong to compete not only against fencers within Hong Kong (first he needs to be rank #1 in HK ) but also participated in the selection competition against all  fencers from other countries within the AOR zone. This change highlights the importance of being competitive and qualifying for the Olympics by going through a more comprehensive selection process.
 * By emphasizing this crucial aspect, it showcases Lau Kwok Kin's achievement as the first competitive fencer from Hong Kong, who had to prove his skills not only within his own country but also against a broader pool of talented fencers from the AOR zone which particular is quite significant as Hong Kong Fencers. Since then of course we can see there is more and more resources allocated from Hong Kong govt and there is more competitive fencers being developed. So the competiion is getting more and more intense in Hong Kong to be qualified to participate in Olympic.
 * Hope this helps to clarify,once again thank you for raising this question 183.179.192.232 (talk) 16:32, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
