Chan Chun Hing is a Hong Kong mountain biker known by the nicknames "Mountain Hing" and "King of the Mountain", and is the outstanding figure in the territory's mountain bike scene. Born on 24 April 1981, he only turned full-time at the age of 21, in 2002, when he joined the Hong Kong cycling team under head coach Shen Jinkang and developed as both a road and mountain bike rider; for years he was the only full-time athlete in Hong Kong's mountain bike programme and trained largely on his own. His career was built mainly on the Asian circuit: he won medals in the men's cross-country at the Asian Cycling Championships for five consecutive years and took gold at China's national road championships and road championship race. At the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games he won gold in the men's cross-country for Hong Kong and was dubbed the "King of the Mountain" by the media. He competed at three Olympic Games - Beijing 2008, London 2012 and Rio 2016 - one of the few Hong Kong mountain bikers to appear at so many. In 2014 he married ATV sports news anchor Leung Sin-ying, arriving at the ceremony by bicycle, which drew wide coverage. After retiring he moved into coaching and served as Hong Kong, China's mountain bike coach at the Hangzhou 2023 Asian Games, continuing to bring through the next generation of Hong Kong mountain bikers.
