On 5 August 2021, CityU alumna Miss Grace LAU Mo-sheung won the historical Bronze medal for Hong Kong in the Karate Women’s Kata at the Tokyo Olympics 2020, with her hard work paying off since the age of 11. To show our enthusiastic support on her journey at the Tokyo Olympics, about 100 CityU staff, students, and sports team members watched the live broadcast of the elimination round and final tournament and cheered for Grace on the campus. Along with her victory, CityU organised a celebratory gathering for her success. However, the story between CityU and Grace is a lot more than that.
In 2012, Grace was selected for the Hong Kong Team and admitted to the School of Creative Media through CityU's Student-Athletes Admission Scheme. She has received the Dr. Herman Hu Outstanding Sports Talents Scholarship in all four years throughout her studies at CityU. Grace led the CityU women's karate team to clinch the gold medal in the University Sports Federation of Hong Kong (USFHK) competition and earned the honour of USFHK Sportswoman for two consecutive years in 2014 and 2015.
Grace is always the role model for CityU community and the pride of Hong Kong! Once again, congratulations to Grace!
CityU encourages students to strive for excellence in both academics and sports, and will continue the dual development of student athletes in future.
