Tsui Tsz-kiu, born 26 February 2006, is a Hong Kong sport climbing athlete (boulder and lead), 1.67 m tall, a member of the elite squad of the Hong Kong, China Mountaineering and Climbing Union. She first encountered sport climbing at a primary-school summer course, found to her surprise that she had no fear of heights and performed well, and was hooked. She was later invited into youth-squad training, went on to win local junior titles and a bronze medal at the Asian Youth Sport Climbing Championships, and established herself on the international circuit. On training, she says the biggest challenge in sport climbing is not fitness but the mental barrier: staying calm and focused on an unfamiliar competition route is often what decides success. Formerly a squash player, she came to prefer the individual nature of climbing, enjoying the contest with herself. She has since become a full-time sport climbing athlete and won the Hong Kong Boulder Championship. In February 2023 she won the women's Open at a climbing competition in Macau, and that autumn made her Asian Games debut in the women's boulder-and-lead combined event at Hangzhou. She is selected for the 2026-27 Hong Kong, China sport climbing elite squad in the boulder and lead disciplines. She hopes one day to climb higher on the international stage and encourages young people not to fear difficulty or heights, and to enjoy the sport.
