Cheng Kwok Fai, MH (born 10 October 1983) is a former Hong Kong windsurfer and a recipient of the Medal of Honour. He spent part of his childhood in a Salvation Army hostel and, supported by social services and his own determination, took up windsurfing; overcoming family and financial hardship early in life, he relied on discipline and perseverance to reach the international stage. At seventeen he became a full-time athlete and focused on the Mistral class. Before his Incheon triumph he had already represented Hong Kong at several Asian Games and Asian events, growing from a newcomer into a team mainstay. At the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon he won gold in the men's Mistral, the pinnacle of his competitive career. In 2015 he was first named a Hong Kong Sports Star in the Outstanding Athletes election, and that same year announced he would stop competing and move into coaching; he later became a coach with the Hong Kong windsurfing team, nurturing younger athletes and often inspiring them with his own story.
