Hong Kong fencer Cheung Ka-long made history by winning his second gold medal in the men’s foil at the Paris Olympics, narrowly defeating Italy’s Filippo Macchi 15-14. The match, which required multiple video reviews to determine the final point, has led to protests from the Italian side, with the Italian Fencing Federation planning to file a complaint over what they called 'unacceptable' refereeing. The selection of referees, coming from Taipei and Korea, has also been criticized by Italy's Olympic Committee President. Social media exchanges erupted post-match, with Cheung's supporters celebrating with posts about pineapple pizzas, mocking a culinary faux pas in Italian culture. Despite initial tensions, Macchi earned some respect from Hong Kong supporters after a sportsmanlike post on Instagram. Pizza Hut in Hong Kong and Macao offered free pineapple toppings to celebrate the win.
