On the bowling front, the SUSS Bowling team similarly displayed unwavering commitment, dedication, and hunger for success. In the team category, the women's team performed outstandingly and secured the silver and bronze medals in the Doubles 1 and 2 categories respectively! "It wasn’t easy to maintain focus, but we knew we needed to make every throw count. With the support of our teammates, we persevered and fought with tenacity,” reflected Nur Amirah Ng, SUSS Year 3 Finance Major student and captain bowler, of her unforgettable experience.

Through nail-biting matches against their competitors, the Badminton Women’s team also clinched an overall third position. Sim Jin Hwi, SUSS Year 1 Digital Media Major student and member of the team, expressed, “I felt a sense of nostalgia and an adrenaline rush after being away from the competitive badminton scene.”

Although not every CG clinched a podium finish, their unwavering spirit, resilience and sportsmanship left an indelible mark on the IVP Games 2024. We celebrate and commend their grit and determination, the invaluable lessons learnt on the field will serve as the critical foundation for their future triumphs. Well done, Team SUSS!
