Ceci Lee Sze Wing (born 5 May 2001) is a Hong Kong professionalracing cyclist currently competing forHKSI Pro Cycling Team.[1][2] She rode in thewomen's omnium event at the2020 UCI Track Cycling World Championships inBerlin, Germany.[3]
Lee initially competed in triathlon. Because cycling was her weakest discipline there, she did additional cycling training and eventually turned to this sport entirely.[4] As a junior, she won several titles in road races and individual time trials at Hong Kong team and Asian championships in 2018 and 2019. Also as a junior, she won the Hong Kong scratch race championship on the track ahead ofLee Wai Sze. She won a bronze medal at the 2020 Asian Championships, which were brought forward to October 2019.[5]
In the following years, competition was very limited as a result of theCOVID-19 pandemic. In September 2021, Lee won the road race at the Chinese National Games.[4] At that time, she was studying health education at theEducation University of Hong Kong.[6] At the end of 2022, she won the Chinese Omnium Championships. 2023 was her most successful year to date: she became Hong Kong road race champion and won several medals at Asian Championships and Asian Games. At the2023 Tour of Chongming Island, she rode with the Hong Kong national team for the first time in the UCI Women's WorldTour. In 2024, she was again Hong Kong road race champion. At the 2024 Olympic Games, she was nominated for both the road race and the Omnium; in the road race she came 66th and in the Omnium she came 20th.[7]
At the 2025 Asian Championships, Lee won her first title as Asian Champion in scratch.
She has represented Hong Kong at several road and track world championships. In an interview, she complained that she was unable to spend much time in her hometown because she had to train in other parts of China because of the traffic there.[4]
Lee competed in the women's individual road race and track cycling events at the2024 Paris Olympics. She completed the 158km road race in 4 hours 10 minutes 47 seconds, finishing 64th, becoming the first female Hong Kong athlete to do so. She then competed in the track cycling event, performing well in all four events and finishing 20th overall. She is the first female Hong Kong athlete to compete in both the road and track cycling events at the Olympics.
On September 26, 2021, she won the first National Games women's road race championship in Hong Kong's history, which was also the second gold medal for the Hong Kong team at the2021 National Games of China. After the game, Lee Sze Wing declared the following: "I am very happy... Losing in the all-around competition was a bit of a blow, but winning the gold medal made me very happy! I never thought I would achieve such a result. ... Without the efforts of the team, today's competition would not have been successful."[8]
