Yue Nga Yan, Tiffany, is a Hong Kong long jumper and the first Hong Kong athlete ever to win an Asian Games medal in a field event. She began training in the long jump at the age of 12 and competes for Pacers Athletic Club. She graduated from The Chinese University of Hong Kong with a Bachelor of Science in Food and Nutritional Sciences. During her studies she broke the Hong Kong record several times and won medals at the Asian championships, the Asian Grand Prix and the Singapore and Chinese Taipei Opens; in 2019 she received the 'Outstanding Star' sports award from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, whose records noted that she had by then broken the Hong Kong record eight times. On 2 October 2023, in the women's long jump final at the Hangzhou Asian Games, she leapt 6.50m (+0.1) on her second attempt to set a new Hong Kong record and win bronze, edging out Japanese and Indian rivals by two centimetres. It was the first Asian Games medal by a Hong Kong athlete in a field event (as opposed to a track event). Her previous Hong Kong record was 6.49m (+1.1), set in Lisbon on 10 June 2022, and her best local mark in 2024 was 6.40m (18 May); in 2025 she was named to the Hong Kong, China delegation for the women's long jump at the 15th National Games. At the 2019 Asian championships in Doha she also won a medal in the women's long jump. Yue has long been the leading figure in Hong Kong women's long jumping, noted for a scientific approach to training and diet, and has represented the territory at Asian Games, Asian championships and world-level events, writing an important chapter for local field events.
