Sports Bursar Spotlight // Amy Kennedy // Athletics

We recently caught up with one of our UofG Sport Bursars, , who won a Gold medal at the UK Combined Events Championship:

“Hi, I am Amy Kennedy from Glasgow. I am 20 years old and I compete in Heptathlon, which is a two-day competition consisting of seven athletic events.
 Recently, I competed at the UK Combined Events and was delighted to win the gold medal. It was a valuable opportunity to compete at a high level. As with any combined events competition, it was a day filled with ups and downs, offering valuable lessons for future competitions.
 The University of Glasgow’s Sports Bursary programme has significantly benefited me. The bursary helped cover my travel expenses to my most recent BUCS competition, where I also won gold for the University of Glasgow. Additionally, it has helped me access the gym and provided physiotherapy support to aid my recovery from injuries.

The programme also offers assistance with psychology and nutrition, which greatly impacts my performance. I am very grateful to be a part of this programme!
 My main goal for the future is to compete in the 2026 Commonwealth Games, especially since it is a home games in Glasgow!”

We can’t wait to cheer Amy on at the 2026 Commonwealth Games!! 🏅💛

Sports Bursar Spotlight // Cynthia Tao // Ice Hockey

We're back with another of our brilliant 2024/25 bursars :

"Hi, my name is Cynthia, from Taiwan. I'm 23 years old and an ice hockey player representing the Chinese Taipei national team. I train with both the and 🏒

Over the years, I've participated in many competitions, such as the World Championships, Olympics Qualification, World University Games, and Asian Winter Games.

I just finished playing at the World University Games in January . This was my first time to competing at the World University Games and also the first time Taiwan had a team. The Winter Games is a sacred place for athletes. Participating was a meaningful experience for me. Whether I win or lose, I can always gain so much value from these experiences.

The Sport Bursary has helped a lot. I am an international student and also an athlete. The bursary has helped me with a gym membership, recover from injuries and allows me to continue training for my athletic career.

In the future, I hope to find a sports-related job to gain experience and knowledge. Meanwhile, I will continue playing ice hockey, improve my skills and physical fitness and compete in more games!"

Cynthia is now heading to China for the Asian Winter Games! Good luck, we can't wait to see how she get's on 🤩

Sports Bursar Spotlight // Aisling Rafter // Ice Hockey

Say hello to , another of our wonderful bursars for 2024/25:

“Hey! I’m a recent UofG graduate and have recently been undertaking as an Assistant Coach for the GB Students Women’s Ice Hockey after gaining my Level 2 coaching qualification and having had previous experience as Captain at the Lake Placid Winter Games.

It was a groundbreaking opportunity for a woman living in Scotland to coach at an international level which can help further network and potentiate development of Women’s Ice Hockey in Glasgow.

Having the support of UofG throughout my sporting endeavours has provided the resources to allow me to excel professionally and promote Ice Hockey’s future development. The team work and leadership skills gained from these experiences are invaluable to my career as an NHS doctor.

I plan to continue honing my skills in my day to day job and take involvement in building a Women’s Ice Hockey club here in Glasgow.”

Fantastic to see Aisling shine in her role as an Assistant Coach at the most recent 🙌
