黃子晏

English

Wong (Chinese: 黃子晏) is a Hong Kong female sailor who competes in single-handed dinghies. In 2023 she was selected for the Hong Kong, China delegation and raced in the girls' youth ILCA 4 (formerly the Laser 4.7) at the Hangzhou Asian Games, finishing fifth. The sailing events at those Games were held over about a week at the Xiangshan Sailing Centre in Ningbo. The ILCA 4 is a common entry-level youth single-handed class, with a sail area of about 4.7 square metres, that demands a solid grasp of wind direction, boat balance and course choice; it is a regular stepping stone for sailors moving up from youth competition towards the senior Olympic classes such as the ILCA 6 and ILCA 7. At the Asian Games the class is a youth event, with competitors mostly in their early teens. At those Hangzhou Games the Hong Kong sailing team achieved its best-ever Asian Games result, taking one silver and one bronze; beyond the medallists, Hong Kong also recorded fifth places in several events, including the men's ILCA 7, the boys' and girls' youth ILCA 4, the 49erFX and the men's kiteboard, with Wong among them as the girls' youth ILCA 4 sailor. Competing at Hangzhou as a youth-category sailor, she was part of a Hong Kong youth squad that performed solidly, reflecting the territory's competitiveness in the class. At that regatta she was one of several Hong Kong sailors to finish fifth, a group that also included the boys' youth ILCA 4 representative and the 49erFX pair. It should be noted that the girls' youth ILCA 4 silver medal at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games was won by a different Hong Kong sailor, the fourteen-year-old AISL Harrow Hong Kong pupil Huang Zixi, and not by Wong. Beyond that Asian Games result, public information on Wong's year of birth, her training background, her club and her fuller domestic and international record is very limited and is still to be documented.
