So a high jumper participated in the long jump? Can that be explained?

You can link Macau again in the main part of the article, after the lead.

"Paralympic movement" can be linked to Paralympic Games.
- Done MWright96 (talk) 13:38, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"territory's National Olympic Committee" put territory's into the pipe because we have an article called National Olympic Committee and this is potentially confusing.

"entered some international organisations" what do you mean?
- Removed that part of the sentence MWright96 (talk) 13:38, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"but have never" it was "has" in the previous sentence.

That first Background section could use some sentence merging for flow, it's a lot of short sentences which makes for clunky reading.

What makes topendsports.com a reliable source?

"10 September.[12][10] " order.

"the London Games.[17] These London Paralympics" repetitive, and short-sentence syndrome strikes again.

"had partaken in" taken part in

"he partook in" -> "took part" or even "competed" perhaps.
- Done MWright96 (talk) 13:38, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"he did not have one of the best eight marks in his first three jumps, Tong took no further part in the event, coming ninth overall" not sure about "marks", after all it's the distance, not some kind of score.
- Done MWright96 (talk) 13:38, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I would include units in the distance column of the table, i.e. 4.63 m.

Avoid using semi-colons for sub-headings, they are poor for accessibility.

"by index" what's that?
- Clarified MWright96 (talk) 13:38, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"5-4" en-dash (per MOS:DASH) not hyphen.
