鄧漢昇

English

Tang Hon Sing is a former Hong Kong track athlete born in 1977 who specialised in sprinting and relay running, and was a member of the Hong Kong men's relay squad in the 2000s. At the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games he was named to the Hong Kong delegation and formed part of the men's 4 × 100 metres relay team alongside team-mates including Chiang Wai Hung. The quartet ran 40.15 seconds in the heats, placing seventh in their heat; although they did not advance to the final, it was one of Hong Kong's appearances in relay events at the Olympics and a representative result for the territory's relay team at the time. Besides the relay, Tang also competed in individual sprint events. After retiring he moved into coaching, joining the Hong Kong Sports Institute and working over the long term on sprint training. During the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou he served as a coach with the Hong Kong athletics team as part of the Hong Kong, China delegation, responsible for the training and on-site guidance of sprinters, and spoke to the media during the Games about the performance of Hong Kong's athletes. From athlete to coach, Tang's career reflects the way Hong Kong relay runners have continued to contribute to the athletics training system after retiring; like his former team-mate Chiang Wai Hung, he is an example of a Hong Kong sprinting mainstay who moved into coaching at the Sports Institute.
