Lai Wai Kit is a Hong Kong contract bridge player. When bridge was added to the Asian Games medal programme at Jakarta in 2018, where the competition was held at the Jakarta International Expo with Hong Kong entering 16 bridge players, he was already a member of the Hong Kong men's team, and with Lau Pik Kin, Mak Kwok Fai, Ng Chi Cheung, Wan Siu Kau and Zen Wei Peu he won silver in the men's team event; at the same Games he and Mak Kwok Fai also took bronze in the men's pairs, giving him two medals at the Games. At the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou in 2023, Lai was again selected for the Hong Kong men's team, joining Chiu Wai Lap, Ho Hoi Tung, Ho Wai Lam, Mak Kwok Fai and Sze Shun Sum; Hong Kong beat Japan in the semi-final and then India 229.1 to 152 in the final, played over two days and six sessions in which Hong Kong won five, the last three finishing 42-32, 38-17 and 17-12, to win gold. That was Hong Kong's first Asian Games bridge gold and the delegation's eighth gold of the Games, matching Hong Kong's best-ever tally. Lai is one of the few Hong Kong players to have won medals at consecutive Asian Games in bridge.
