Lam Hong-kwai is the long-serving head coach of the Hong Kong wushu team, overseeing the training and competition programme of the territory's wushu representatives and a key figure behind Hong Kong's successes on the international stage. A coach with the Hong Kong Wushu Union and the Hong Kong Sports Institute, he has held the post of head coach of the wushu team for many years. He has accompanied Hong Kong delegations to major multi-sport Games as a wushu coach or head coach, including the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games (taolu coach), the 2021 14th National Games (taolu head coach) and the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games (coach). Ahead of the Hangzhou Games, when Hong Kong sent ten wushu athletes - six men and four women - across taolu and sanda, he explained that the sanda squad had undertaken long training camps in Guangxi while the taolu group first trained in Zhejiang and then split into smaller groups for specialist preparation in Guangzhou and Chengdu, and said preparation was by then well advanced. During his tenure the Hong Kong wushu team has repeatedly won medals at the World Wushu Championships, finishing third on the medal table in 2017.
