成灝澂

Shing Ho-ching is a Hong Kong female sport shooter who specialises in the 10m air pistol and is one of the territory's few full-time shooters. She first tried shooting at a club open day at the age of fifteen, was unexpectedly picked for the youth team, and trained alongside her studies. Around her university graduation, at the start of the Tokyo Olympic cycle, she gave herself a year to chase Olympic qualification and then committed fully to the sport. During the 2022 COVID period, with Hong Kong ranges often closed while she prepared for the Hangzhou Asian Games, she could not even get to a range; through coordination between the Hong Kong and national teams she spent three months training with the Chinese national shooting squad in Beijing under coach Huang Wenhong, alongside Jiang Ranxin and Qian Wei. She missed qualification for both the Tokyo and Paris Olympics, the latter by a single place. In 2025 her form returned: she reached the finals at two World Cup stages, and in November she won silver in the women's 10m air pistol at the ISSF World Championship in Cairo, scoring 241.2 in the final after qualifying seventh with 580 and losing by 1.8 points to China's Yao Qianxun. It was Hong Kong's first-ever medal at the shooting World Championships. She also competed at the Hangzhou Asian Games and in the women's 10m air pistol at the 15th National Games, and returned to the range for the Ningbo World Cup just two weeks after eye surgery. She likens shooting to solving a puzzle, relishing the fresh challenge of every shot.
