Chiu Hin-chun was born on 20 August 1994 and is a Hong Kong rower who specialises in the lightweight single sculls and is one of the most experienced members of the Hong Kong squad, having competed at three Asian Games. At the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta he won silver in the men's lightweight single sculls, his first Asian Games medal. In November 2019 he partnered Chan Yuk-man in the men's double sculls at the World Rowing Coastal Championships in Victoria Harbour, reaching the medal race by winning his heat. He has won a men's lightweight single sculls title at a World Rowing Cup regatta and qualified for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, representing Hong Kong in the Olympic rowing competition. At the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou in 2023 he took bronze in the men's single sculls. At the 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya in 2026 he crossed the line first in the men's lightweight single sculls final in 6:50.32 to win gold - his first individual Games title after two previous Asian Games medals and Hong Kong's fourth gold of those Games. He raced tactically, sitting second through the first 1,000 metres before surging past his rivals, and said afterwards that self-belief was the key to his victory. Chiu is an elite athlete student at The Education University of Hong Kong, studying sports coaching and management, and is one of the leading figures in Hong Kong rowing.
