This is a Chinese name; the family name is Wong.

Wong Kam Po (traditional Chinese: 黃金寶, born March 13, 1973 in Hong Kong) in Shatin, Hong Kong, is a world champion racing cyclist.

Wong Kam Po joined the Hong Kong cycling team in 1990. He quit the team after allegedly fighting with a team mate. After meeting his current coach Shen Jiang-Kong (Chinese: 沈金康), he rejoined the team and began a successful career, winning golds in the National Games of the People's Republic of China (1997 & 2001) and the Asian Games (1998 & 2006). His 1997 win of the Philippine Marlboro Tour was the only championship by a non-Filipino in the event.

Wong Kam Po became the first Chinese World Champion cyclist by winning the 15km-scratch in 2007 UCI Track World Championships.[1] Thus he has earned the right to wear the Rainbow Jersey for the year 2007 - 2008. Wong performed well at the 2007 UCI B World Championships road race, with a 4th place finish, to win an invitation to the 2008 Summer Olympics.

Wong's idol is former Hong Kong cyclist Hung Chung Yam (Traditional Chinese: 洪松蔭). Wong said that he will not ride the Olympic Road race event in 2008, but will help his Hong Kong teamates to get in it.
