Chang Long Yin is a member of the Hong Kong, China sprint (flat-water) canoeing team, competing mainly in kayak (K-boat) events and one of the territory's leading men over the middle and long distances in recent years. He appeared in local and international races at an early stage: in 2021 he competed at the 14th National Games in Shaanxi, finishing fourth in the quarter-finals of the men's K2 500m alongside So Pak Yin, and he also raced in the individual kayak events that year. In 2022 Chang competed in several international regattas with the Hong Kong squad, including the ICF Canoe Sprint World Cups in the Czech Republic and Poland, racing the K1 500m, K1 1000m and the K2 500m with So Pak Yin. In September 2023 he was named in the Hong Kong, China delegation for the sprint canoe events at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou. In 2025 Chang took part in the 15th National Games, entering the men's individual 1000m kayak and the men's four-man 500m kayak, and in 2026 he was again selected for the Hong Kong, China delegation at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games in the individual 500m and four-man 500m events, making him a regular member of the territory's sprint squad. As canoeing is an elite-funded sport in Hong Kong with limited media coverage, verifiable details such as his year of birth, schooling and background are sparse in the public record.
