Over an illustrious career spanning six Paralympic Games, Leung Yuk-wing has earned numerous accolades that has made him one of Hong Kong's most decorated athletes. Competing in the BC4 classification for boccia, Leung debuted at the Athens 2004 Paralympics, where he secured two gold medals, adding a silver in Beijing 2008, another gold in Rio 2016, and silver and bronze medals in Tokyo 2020.

Leung's contributions extend beyond his medal count, as he is deeply committed to advancing the sport of boccia in Hong Kong and inspiring the next generation of athletes. Known for his strategic mindset and adaptability, he has mentored aspiring players, emphasising the importance of resilience and precision in competition.
