Medal record
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
She was second in the Asian Cycling Championships in 2007 in Thailand. A year later she won the points race at the 2007–08 Track Cycling World Cup in Copenhagen.
At the 2010 Asian Games, she won the silver medal in the points race in the cycling competition in dramatic fashion, after taking a fall early in the race and fracturing a rib. Wong had to be helped up to the podium to collect her medal and sobbed uncontrollably as she shakily stood for the national anthem, clutching her arm and her knees clearly badly bruised and grazed. Wong was taken from the velodrome in a wheelchair.[1] Her coach Shen Jia-Kang said it was a miracle that she finished the race.[2] The day after winning the silver medal, Wong said: "I learnt to be brave from my tough mother. She worked hard and saved money to buy me a bike after learning I was interested in cycling."[3]
After claiming her silver medal, Hong Kong's Chief Executive Donald Tsang and Secretary for Home Affairs Tsang Tak-sing wished her and her teammate Diao Xiaojuan a speedy recovery from their injuries.[4]
Jamie Wong competed in the Women's road race at the 2012 London Olympics alongside 65 other riders, and finished the 140-kilometre course in nearly 3 hours and 57 minutes under adverse weather conditions. She came last out of the 59 riders who finished the race, was some 21 minutes behind Dutch winner Marianne Vos. Wong said she was disappointed she couldn't keep up with the main pack.[5]

In March 2013, Jamie Wong successfully defended her title when she won the 20 km points race in the 2013 Asian Cycling Championships at New Delhi, by scoring 41 marks after 80 rounds, beating her Japanese and Malaysian rivals.[6]
