黃沅嵐

English

Wong Yuen Nam is a Hong Kong high jumper born in 1999 who stands about 1.64m tall and has joked that she is one of the shortest high jumpers on the circuit. She has developed steadily in local and international competition, with a personal best of 1.79m set at a Hong Kong Athletics Series meeting in October 2022. At the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games she cleared a season's best of 1.75m in the women's high jump final to finish seventh, joining teammate Chung Wai Yan (fifth) in the top placings, a bright result for Hong Kong in the event. Beyond athletics, Wong began teaching at St. Joseph's Primary School in 2022, taking the MTR to train at The Chinese University of Hong Kong after school, a demanding balance between teaching and training that she has said is tiring but worthwhile and that once moved her to tears after a competition. For 2024/25 she was included in the Hong Kong Sports Institute's elite training funding scheme, and in 2025 she was named to the Hong Kong, China delegation for the women's high jump at the 15th National Games. High jump demands explosive power and technical precision, and Wong's ability to clear close to 1.80m without a height advantage rests on years of patient technical work. The Hong Kong women's high jump record of 1.88m is held by Cecilia Yeung, and Wong is one of the territory's top-ranked high jumpers, helping to raise the event's overall competitiveness alongside teammates such as Chung Wai Yan.
