古偉業

English

Ku Wai Yip (古偉業) is a Hong Kong judo administrator who has long been involved in the work of the Hong Kong, China Judo Association. The association oversees the promotion of local judo, competitions, the training of coaches and referees, and the formation and travel of Hong Kong representative teams, and it is within this structure that Ku has held key posts. Public records mainly show him in administrative and team-management roles rather than as a competitor. In 2023 he was appointed team manager for judo within the Hong Kong, China delegation to the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, handling the team's administration, logistics and liaison. He has also served as chairman of the association's selection committee, signing official notices on athlete selection, which indicates an important position in the federation's selection process. Hong Kong judo operates on limited resources, and the team manager's role often covers entries, travel arrangements, equipment transport and coordination with organisers and the federation, as well as handling unexpected administrative issues during competition. Since the sport has a relatively small pool of athletes, middle-management work between the federation and the representative team often falls to experienced figures. Details of his birth year, personal judo background and the exact years of his various appointments are not widely documented and remain to be filled in.
