Chen Yujie, who competed abroad for the first time, became the focus of the athletics competition at this year's Games, winning the women's 100m gold medal, the 200m gold medal and the 4×100m silver medal, of which the 100m time equaled the event record and the 200m time set a new event record. She said: "There are still some small regrets in this competition, and I will continue to work hard to make greater progress. ”
The Chinese women's three-man basketball team will face challenges in this tournament. Before setting off, one of the team members was accidentally injured, and without a substitute rotation, the team fought tenaciously to win the championship. "Unlike futsal, the game of three-a-side is fast-paced and intense." Team leader Li Bing said, "We are ready to deal with difficulties, and this competition is a valuable opportunity for the players. ”
There were gold medals in 12 sports, 4 events of table tennis, badminton, taekwondo, and sports dance, and 5 people in athletics set or equaled the record of the competition... 89 Chinese middle school student athletes went all out to write moving sports stories on the field.
"The excellent results achieved in this competition fully reflect the achievements of school sports in our country." Zhang Ailong, Executive Head of the Chinese Middle School Sports Delegation, said, "The children's condition is very good, showing the good spirit of contemporary Chinese middle school students who are united and forging ahead and fighting tenaciously. ”
Promote exchanges and enhance friendships
"When we do more difficult moves, the audience cheers us on." The atmosphere in the breakdancing event impressed Chinese athlete Cui Shengyu, who won the gold medal in the men's singles competition. He said: "The enthusiastic encouragement from the spectators has greatly stimulated my race form. ”
For middle school athletes, the World Student Summer Games is not only a venue for competition, but also a platform for communication. Liu Lixiang, a player of the Chinese women's three-man basketball team, received a painting presented by a player from the French team at the closing ceremony. Yang Chunzi, a Chinese team player who won gold medals in women's singles and women's team in table tennis, left contact information with members of the Brazilian delegation, saying: "We had a lot of fun together and took a lot of photos. ”
At this year's Games, athletes from the Chinese delegation and other delegations competed on the field, and enhanced understanding and deepened friendship through a variety of cultural exchange activities outside the venue. Yang Haotian, a male taekwondo athlete from the Chinese delegation, exchanged gifts with a Mexican athlete and agreed to keep in touch. On the Cultural Activities Day, the Chinese delegation brought exquisite gifts to attract people to stop and watch.
Liu Lixin, head of the Chinese middle school student sports delegation, said that the Chinese delegation actively played the role of a dual platform for sports competition and cultural exchanges at the Games, and made full use of the opportunity of the competition to have extensive exchanges with delegations, enhance friendship, tell Chinese stories well, and spread Chinese voices.
The integration of sports and education has achieved remarkable results
This is the first time that China has sent a delegation to participate in the U15 World Student Summer Games, and the average age of the 89 athletes in the Chinese delegation is 14.6 years old. The excellent results achieved by this competition are inseparable from the rapid development of school sports in China in recent years. Li Bing said that the atmosphere of domestic campus basketball education is getting better and better, "The rich basketball events have put forward higher requirements for daily training, and we have made a lot of efforts to consolidate the basic skills of the team members and improve the ability to adapt to changes on the spot." ”
"The good results achieved this time reflect the results of the integration of sports and education in China over the years." Liu Lixin said that the China Secondary School Sports Association will further improve the training model of reserve talents in competitive sports in China, and improve the selection mechanism of outstanding athletes of different age groups in combination with the comprehensive sports meeting and individual events of the International Secondary School Sports Federation.
In March this year, the Chinese Secondary School Sports Association and the International Secondary School Sports Federation signed an agreement in Brussels, Belgium, and China won the right to host the three International Sports Federation Football World Cups in 3, 2024 and 2026. The event will not only provide an opportunity for athletes to test their training results, but also provide a platform for cultural exchanges among participating delegations.
During this year's Games, the Chinese delegation actively exchanged and cooperated with delegations and relevant international organizations, and signed the Memorandum of Understanding on Sports Exchange and Cooperation between China and Brazil Secondary School Students with the Brazilian Secondary School Sports Federation to publicize and promote the 2024 FIFA Football World Cup in Dalian.
Liu Lixin said: "In the future, we will extensively carry out multilateral and bilateral student sports and cultural exchange activities, actively participate in international student sports events, hold the International Sports Federation Football World Cup, the International Sports Federation Football World Cup and other events, promote student sports exchanges, and make new contributions to promoting the development of school sports."
