The 56th Track and Field Sports Meeting of Jilin University, after two days of marvelous but fierce competition, successfully closed on May 19th. The Team of International Students was spirited and enthusiastic, fought in solidarity and took an active part in all kinds of games. It won one gold medal and two collective honors, namely “the Award for Morality in Artistic Performances” and “the Third Prize for Radio Calisthenics”.
Sufficient publicity and mobilization led many international students to sign up for the sports meeting enthusiastically. Altogether 77 students signed up and 37 of them passed the selection process and were qualified for 23 programs. 130 students from 40 countries and regions signed up for a square formation, 54 students formed the Team of Artistic Performance and 44 students formed the Team of Radio Calisthenics.
To ensure that all programs could go smoothly, College of International Education broke down the tasks and assigned them to specific individuals. Under close coordination and in a down-to-earth and meticulous manner, they carried out all tasks including organizing training, safeguarding logistics and providing guidance during games so that students could bring out their best in the games.
During the sports meeting, the international students were upbeat and passionate, but also disciplined and methodical at the same time. They performed well in games, tempered their character, and greatly boosted their collective sense of honor as well as attachment to Jilin University.
