Chloe Ing (Chinese: 伍宣菱, born 12 September 1998) is a Singaporean former figure skater. She is the 2019 Southeast Asian Games champion, 2017 Southeast Asian Games silver medalist and a four-time senior national champion. She has competed in the final segment at three ISU Championships – the 2017 Four Continents, 2018 Four Continents, and 2018 Junior Worlds. At the 2017 Merano Cup, she became the first skater representing Singapore to win a senior ladies medal in an ISU-recognized international competition. She won her second international medal at the 2018 Sofia Trophy.

Skating career Early years Ing grew an interest in skating after watching the 2002 Winter Olympics. She began learning to skate while traveling abroad to visit relatives, and during a trip to Canada, she and her sister took lessons from a coach who told their parents they had potential. In 2006, when Ing was 7, the family moved to Toronto to allow them to receive coaching.

She made her ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) debut in 2013 and would also compete on the JGP series during the following four seasons.

In 2014, Ing won the National Figure Skating Championships in the Senior Ladies' Free Skate category, representing the Ice Angels Club. In 2016, she won the National Figure Skating Championships again and was also awarded the Ice Angels Artistic Trophy, for the most artistic presentation of a routine.

She placed 20th at the 2017 Four Continents Championships in Gangneung, South Korea, and 34th at the 2017 World Junior Championships in Taipei, Taiwan.

2017–2018 season Ing began her season by winning the silver medal at the 2017 Southeast Asian Games. She obtained the highest free skate score to finish second overall. She then took bronze at the 2017 Merano Cup, making her the first figure skater to win a senior ladies' medal for Singapore at an ISU international competition.

Ing received the gold medal at the 2018 Singapore National Figure Skating Championships. At the 2018 Four Continents Championships, she placed 19th in the short program and 20th in the free skate to finish 19th overall. She then competed at the 2018 World Junior Figure Skating Championships, placing 20th in the short to qualify for the free skate, finishing 23rd overall.

2018–2019 season Outside of the Singapore Championships, which she won, Ing did not compete this season.

2019–2020 season Ing competed at the 2019 SEA Games, where she won the gold medal in women's singles. Ing said later that in her free skate, she was able to let go of the pressure of trying to win and focus on her performance.

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, Ing was forced to stop training in March, as rinks were closed. She decided to focus on academics while she was unable to train.

Personal life Ing was born on September 12, 1998, in Singapore, together with her twin sister, Chantelle. Her sister was also a skater, but she was forced to stop training in 2011 due to developing tendonitis in her foot.

She studied health sciences at the University of Toronto. Ing was inspired to study the subject by having seen athletes like her sister who had their careers interrupted by health issues, which she wanted to help them recover from. To cover her training fees, she worked as both a tutor and a skating coach. She graduated in 2024 and applied to law school in both Canada and Singapore; she enrolled at the National University of Singapore Faculty of Law.
