PolyU’s Sports Teams have won the Yearly Men’s and Yearly Women’s Overall Championship in the 2021/22 Inter-Collegiate Competition for the fourth time in a row.

The University’s Sports Teams achieved another sweeping victory this year, snatching the Grand Slam and bringing home 12 championships, seven 1st runner-up and two 2nd runner-up places in the 24 sports they participated in. They beat fierce competition from 12 other local tertiary institutions in the tournament, which is organised by the University Sports Federation of Hong Kong, China (USFHK). In the basketball, squash, swimming and woodball competitions, PolyU won both the men’s and women’s championship.

In addition, nine PolyU students were named 'Most Valuable Players' or 'Individual Champions'. The accolades recognise their impressive performances in their respective events. Among them, Toto Wong Kwan-to from the swimming team was also honoured as 'Sportswoman of the Year'. Competing at the Tokyo Olympics for the Hong Kong Team in 2021, the 22-year-old swimmer said the awards showed athletes could strike a balance between academic pursuits and sporting achievements when studying in Hong Kong. Toto has now set her sights on the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. She hopes her experience can inspire other junior student-athletes.
