About Choy Yiu Chung

Born 1961. Choy Yiu Chung is a Chinese sport cyclist.

Choy Yiu Chung (; born 1 March 1961) is a Hong Kong former cyclist and coach. He competed in the individual road race and the team time trial events at the 1984 Summer Olympics. He did not finish in the individual road race. He won another event at the competition in December 1981, which brought his Nam Van team to first place. At a Marlboro Super Series event held in February 1983, Choy won, beating the next contestant by three seconds. At a Marlboro Super Series event held in May 1983 on Lantau Island, Choy won an event. In 1983, Choy raced in Australia in the Blue Mountain Classic and competed in the Brisbane–Sydney road race. To prepare for the 1984 Summer Olympics, Choy practiced racing in Belgium a month prior to the competition and was trained by Belgian coach Hugo Geuens. During the Grand Prix of As, a semi-classic racing competition in As in Belgium, Choy placed fourth. Choy competed at the team time trial event at the 1984 Olympics. During the Olympics competition, Choy found the route to be tough and mountainous. When he had completed six of the nine laps, he was positioned centrally in the pack. When he had completed lap 10, he withdrew from the competition. Choy said, "If it had only been one more lap I think I could have made it. It was very hilly and I haven't raced on hills for nearly six weeks." Colin Ruffell of the South China Morning Post in 1985 called Choy "cycling's Mr Flash", writing, "The tall, rapier-thin bike star with the penchant for gaudy racing jerseys and hi-tech equipment simply has no opposition." Choy was the owner of a bicycle store in 1989 and had taken nearly two years off from training to run it. To prepare for the 1990 Asian Games, he decided to step away from the store for a year to train in Melbourne.
