李家耀

English

Lee Ka-yiu is a Hong Kong male hurdler who specialises in the 110 metres hurdles and has been one of the Hong Kong athletics team's leading exponents of the event in the 2020s. According to the Hong Kong, China Association of Athletics Affiliates' 2023 men's rankings, he was second in Hong Kong in the 110 metres hurdles with 13.88 seconds, recorded at the Hong Kong Athletics Championships on 29 April 2023. That year he also competed in the men's 110 metres hurdles at the Asian Athletics Championships and was named in the Hong Kong, China delegation for the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, running in the preliminary round of the men's 110 metres hurdles. The 110 metres hurdles is one of the events with a certain tradition in Hong Kong athletics: the Hong Kong record is held by Chan Chung-wang at 13.74 seconds, and his contemporary Mui Chung-yeung also produced strong results, with Lee close behind on 13.88 seconds to rank second locally in 2023. Hurdling demands a blend of speed, rhythm and technique, with athletes having to clear barriers at high speed, placing great demands on coordination and explosive power. As a leading local hurdler, Lee has long competed against his teammates at the Hong Kong Athletics Championships and Series. Compared with the city's leading sprinters, Lee's publicly documented biography is limited, and his record is known mainly through the rankings and results of the Hong Kong, China Association of Athletics Affiliates and the delegation lists of the SF&OC and the Hangzhou Asian Games.
