黎安琪

English

Lai Angel is a Hong Kong women's dragon boat athlete born on 2 February 1989, 1.67 metres tall, a member of the Hong Kong, China women's dragon boat squad who races in the 12-crew straight-race events. Dragon boat became an Asian Games sport at Guangzhou 2010 and, after being dropped and then restored at Jakarta 2018, was again on the programme at Hangzhou. In 2023 she was named to the Hong Kong, China delegation for the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, competing in the women's 12-crew events; the Hong Kong crew finished seventh in the women's 12-crew 1000m straight race, and the territory had still never won an Asian Games dragon boat medal. She remained with the national squad afterwards: in 2025 she was selected for the Hong Kong SAR delegation to the mass-participation dragon boat events of the 15th National Games, held across Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, racing the women's 12-crew 100m and 200m straight races and the mixed-crew races. In April 2026 she represented Hong Kong again at the sixth Asian Beach Games in Sanya, Hainan, where the Hong Kong women's 12-crew squad, whose members included Chau Tsz-yan, Chu Hei-tung and Lai, finished third in their 400m semi-final and, after the ranking race, placed fifth in a time of 1:58. Owing to the limited public record, little is documented about her upbringing, training and local club, and only verifiable details are given here.
