郭斯鳴

English

Kuo Sze Ming is a pivot for the Hong Kong men's national handball team, born on 2 February 1994 and standing about 1.85 metres tall. He became a regular member of the Hong Kong squad in the mid-to-late 2010s. In 2022 he appeared as a Hong Kong handball player at the local sports-promotion event VIVA Sports Festival, demonstrating virtual training alongside athletes from other disciplines. In 2023 he was named in the Hong Kong, China squad for the men's handball tournament at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, wearing number 24 as a pivot, shielding defenders and looking for openings close to goal. In 2025 he was included in Hong Kong's 16-man squad for the 15th National Games, staged jointly by Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau, with the men's handball competition played at the Kai Tak Arena. Hong Kong beat Macau and Shanghai in the group stage, defeated Guangdong 28-26 in the quarter-finals, lost 21-24 to Anhui in the semi-finals and 25-33 to Beijing in the bronze-medal match, finishing fourth, the team's best National Games result. The squad was entirely amateur, with 15 of the 16 players resigning or taking unpaid leave to focus on preparation. A pivot has to hold position and receive the ball against packed defences, demanding physical strength and movement. Hong Kong men's handball has long been played on an amateur basis with limited training venues and resources. Owing to limited public records, little is documented about his club career, early training and personal background.
