Wong Cheuk-nam, born 2 August 2001, is a Hong Kong sport climbing athlete, 1.65 m tall, specialising in speed and also competing in boulder and lead; he is a member of the elite squad of the Hong Kong, China Mountaineering and Climbing Union. He began climbing training as a youngster and took part in the 30th Hong Kong Open Sport Climbing Competition in 2018; in 2019, at the World Youth Championships (junior), he placed seventh in the men's combined and ninth in speed, showing his potential in the speed discipline. Speed climbing demands explosive power and reaction, with athletes racing up a standardised 15-metre wall as fast as possible, and is one of the three sport climbing disciplines along with boulder and lead. Wong takes speed as his main event while also competing in boulder and lead. He has since moved into senior international competition: in 2022 he competed at the World Cup in Jakarta (36th in speed, 39th in lead) and other stages in France; in 2023 he competed in the men's speed at the World Cups in Seoul and Wujiang. A long-time member of the Hong Kong, China sport climbing squad, he was in the elite lead squad for 2025-26 and the elite boulder and lead squad for 2026-27, and was selected for Hong Kong's sport climbing delegation at the 2026 Asian Games in Nagoya.
