Ho Wai Hang Cedric is a Hong Kong men's epée fencer born on 7 April 1996. Nicknamed the 'Silver Braid Knight', he stands about 1.8 metres tall, is known for his explosive attacks and flexible tactics, and is a leading figure in Hong Kong's men's epée. He only took up epée in secondary school but improved quickly and turned full-time after finishing Form Six. In 2012 he won team cadet gold in the men's epée at the Asian Cadet and Junior Fencing Championships in Indonesia, his first career gold, and he developed steadily on the international circuit thereafter. In 2023 he won team bronze in the men's epée at the Asian Fencing Championships and took bronze in both the individual and team men's epée at the Hangzhou Asian Games. In 2024 he went a step further, winning the men's individual epée gold at the Asian Fencing Championships in Kuwait and writing a landmark result for Hong Kong men's epée at the continental championships; that year he also took bronze at the Fencing World Cup in Vancouver and gold at the Asia-Oceania Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Fujairah, UAE. At the Paris 2024 Olympics he competed in the men's individual epée - the first Hong Kong male epéeist in twelve years to qualify for the Games - finishing 24th. His highest world ranking has been 11th. In 2026 he was named to Hong Kong's squad at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, where he and Fong Hoi-sun, Lau Ho-fung and Ng Ho-tin won men's team epée bronze, and he also fenced the men's individual and team epée at the World Fencing Championships hosted in Hong Kong.
