Geoffrey Cheah will represent Hong Kong in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, as announced Tuesday by the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong.

Cheah joins Stanford grad Vivian Kong (fencing) as an Olympian from Hong Kong.

Cheah, a 2013 graduate of Stanford with a degree in Earth Systems, will swim the 50-meter freestyle in Rio De Janeiro after achieving a B-cut time in the event.

Since no other swimmers from Hong Kong obtained an A-cut, Cheah was granted a wild card invitation to the Games. He becomes, unofficially, the 49th Olympian with local ties.

While at Stanford, Cheah helped the Cardinal capture four Pac-10 championships under head coach Skip Kenney.
