劉平治

English

Lau Ping Chi is a Hong Kong male swimmer who specialises in the individual medley, with the men's 200m individual medley as his main event, and is one of the athletes developed by the Hoi Tin Swimming Club. Elite swimmers in Hong Kong are generally trained by affiliated clubs and the Hong Kong, China Swimming Association and are selected through local age-group and open competitions before progressing into the representative team for international meets. In 2022 Lau was selected for the Hong Kong, China delegation at the swimming events of the Asian Games in Hangzhou, which were postponed by the pandemic to September 2023. The Asian Games are Asia's highest-level multi-sport event, and the Hong Kong squad entered a number of individual and relay events, with Lau among the team's male individual medley entrants. In 2025 he was again selected, this time for the Hong Kong SAR delegation at the 15th National Games, held across Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, competing in the men's 200m individual medley. Being selected for two major multi-sport Games in succession indicates that he holds a place among Hong Kong's male individual medley swimmers. The individual medley requires a swimmer to complete butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle in turn, and it places very high demands on balanced technique across all four strokes and on pacing, with the 200m version in particular balancing speed and endurance. Beyond that participation and event information, however, publicly verifiable details about Lau Ping Chi's date of birth, education, specific results and recent activities are limited and remain to be filled in.
