Leung Wing Ching is a senior sports physiotherapist at the Hong Kong Sports Institute (HKSI), where she provides elite athletes with assessment, treatment and rehabilitation for sports injuries. She holds postgraduate training in sports and musculoskeletal physiotherapy and works closely with coaches, conditioning staff and sports scientists within the Institute's Sports Medicine Department to help athletes cope with heavy training and competition loads. The HKSI is the government-funded statutory body charged with identifying and training Hong Kong's elite athletes, and sports-medicine and sports-science support is one of its core functions. Leung is also active in promoting sports-science research. Under the Institute's Sports Research Funding Scheme, coaches and sports-medicine professionals are encouraged to apply for funding for projects on training and rehabilitation. Leung took part in a sharing session alongside the head coaches of squash and windsurfing, explaining how research projects strengthen interdisciplinary support for athletes' training and preparation, a reflection of the collaborative culture the Institute encourages. Beyond her HKSI role, she was named to the medical team of the Hong Kong, China delegation for the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games, travelling as medical personnel to provide physiotherapy support during competition. A major multi-sport Games brings together athletes from many sports, and physiotherapists must be able to handle a variety of sports injuries and make sound professional judgements under pressure, so selection for such a delegation is a mark of confidence in her abilities.
