The PolyU SAO Rowing Club brought home the championship in the Women’s Eight in the Xiangshan Rowing Regatta (Qianshan River), one of the events of the Hengqin Tinmuk Rowing Invitational Regatta 2023, held in Zhuhai in November 2023.

 

The PolyU team was among the rowing teams from 14 institutions invited to participate in the Hengqin Tinmuk Rowing Invitational Regatta, one of the most historical and popular inter-university rowing contests in China. After fierce competition with the rowing teams from Hong Kong, China, and overseas, including Tsinghua University and Yale University, the PolyU team topped the Women’s Eight in the Xiangshan Rowing Regatta (Qianshan River). Notably, PolyU is the sole university in Hong Kong to claim a championship in that year’s events.
