Liberty Bell Schools have emerged as the Overall Champions of Schoolympics 2026, dominating the medal table with an impressive 8 Gold Medals after two days of high-intensity inter-school competition at Greensprings School, Ibeju-Lekki.

The annual sporting event, which featured 26 participating schools, delivered fierce contests across track and field, relays, swimming, indoor games, and team sports, solidifying Schoolympics as one of the fastest-growing inter-school sports platforms in Lagos.

Liberty’s commanding performance across sprint events, field disciplines, and board games set them apart as the team to beat.

“What Liberty demonstrated this year is the power of preparation and structure,” said Moses Nwanze, Event Director of Schoolympics. “They didn’t just win races — they showed depth, discipline, and championship mentality across categories.”

BIJAMIC FINISH STRONG IN SECOND PLACE

Bijamic secured second position with 6 Gold Medals, delivering one of the most competitive showings of the tournament. Their dominance in key athletics events and relays kept the medal race tight until the final day.

“Bijamic brought intensity to every event. They raised the competitive standard and made this one of the most exciting editions yet,” Nwanze noted.

DIVINE CLAIMS THIRD IN TIGHT MEDAL RACE
Divine Divine Sakal clinched third place overall with 4 Gold Medals, supported by multiple podium finishes across track, high jump, and relay events.

“Divine proved that consistency wins championships. Their athletes competed with resilience and versatility, and they were a major force throughout the tournament,” Nwanze added.

A GROWING FORCE IN SCHOOL SPORTS

Schoolympics 2026 attracted strong participation from students, teachers, school owners, and parents, reinforcing the rising importance of structured inter-school competition in youth development.

Beyond medals, the event emphasized discipline, teamwork, leadership, and character-building — values central to the Schoolympics vision.

“Schoolympics is building a structured pathway for competitive school sports in Lagos. The talent we witnessed confirms that this platform is not just relevant — it is necessary,” Nwanze concluded.

With the bar raised significantly in 2026, expectations are already high for a bigger, more technically advanced edition in 2027.
