Hui Wai-hei (Ricky) is a Hong Kong male javelin thrower, born on 26 March 1992, who has long been the city's leading exponent of the event and a six-time Hong Kong champion. On 27 August 2018, in the men's javelin final at the Asian Games in Jakarta, Indonesia, he opened with a throw of 71.78 metres, improving on the personal best of 71.05 metres he had set earlier that month and setting a Hong Kong record, becoming the first Hong Kong athlete to throw the javelin beyond 70 metres. Competing against Asia's leading throwers, he followed with marks of 62.76 and 64.65 metres. The 71.78-metre Hong Kong record still stands, and according to World Athletics he has been ranked around 340th in the world in the men's javelin. His name is rendered in some media and competition records as Hui Wai-hei with the character 熙. Hui has represented Hong Kong at a number of Asian meetings. In 2026 he competed at the Asian Throwing Championships, throwing 65.10 metres in qualification for sixth place. Javelin is a minority event in Hong Kong, where athletes often lack rivals of a similar standard and training and competition resources are limited, and Hui's ability to sustain a high level and set national records has been significant for the development of local throwing events.
