Wong was taken from the velodrome in a wheelchair. Her coach Shen Jia-Kang said it was a miracle that she finished the race. The day after winning the Silver Medal, Wong said: "I learnt to be brave from my tough mother. She worked hard and saved money to buy me a bike after learning I was interested in cycling."

wished her and her teammate Diao Xiaojuan a speedy recovery from their injuries.
