梅政揚

English

Mui Chung-yeung is a Hong Kong male hurdler who specialised in the 110 metres hurdles. Born in 1993, he was one of the leading figures in Hong Kong hurdling in the 2010s and later retired from the sport. He showed his talent early, setting a meet record of 14.27 seconds in the men's A-grade 110 metres hurdles (0.99 metre barriers) at the Civic Association All-Hong Kong Junior Athletics Championships in January 2011. In 2014 he broke the Hong Kong 110 metres hurdles record, which had stood for 12 years, with a time of 14.26 seconds. He went on to become a mainstay of the event in Hong Kong. On 27 May 2023 he ran 13.77 seconds at the Chinese Taipei Athletics Open, ranking first in Hong Kong for the year. At the Hong Kong Championships that year he finished second in 13.69 seconds, but the wind reading meant the time could not replace the Hong Kong record of 13.74 seconds held by Chan Chung-wang. He also represented Hong Kong in the men's 110 metres hurdles at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou. Mui retired from hurdling at the age of 31 and moved towards work as a tattoo artist. As a figure who bridged generations in Hong Kong hurdling, he was consistently among the leading local competitors, with a legal personal best of 13.77 seconds.
