The 2021 Asian Physics Olympiad, which attracted 23 teams from 22 countries and regions, drew to a close on May 24. As the Asian Physics Olympiad charter allows host countries to send in an additional team, Taiwan sent in two teams, Taiwan Team A and Taiwan Team B, to represent the country, since this year's event was hosted by Taiwan. There were around 200 participating students, and the Taiwanese representatives did the nation proud by clinching a total of 6 Gold Awards, 2 Silver Awards, 3 Bronze Awards, and 2 Honorable Mention Awards. Taiwan Team A performed especially well, accounting for 4 Golds, 2 Silvers, 1 Bronze, and 1 Honorable Mention out of the total tally, ranking second internationally.
