Sports Week Series（Ⅳ）—Sports Competition

After the Opening Ceremony, it was time for the track and field events. Students participated in various races, including the 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1500m runs as well as various other field activities such as the medicine ball throw and long jump.

Students were all very excited and tried their best. For example, during the 1500m run, although the runners were tired by the last circle, they each persisted to the last meter. On the long jump stage, participants even did warm-up activities to make sure they could better their scores.

KuanHo Chen from grade 12 got an outstanding score of 10:67 in the 100m running, which broke the previous record of 11:20 that persisted since the beginning of Shanghai high school. He also got an excellent grade of 23：87 in the 200m running, which is quite close to the current school record of 23 seconds. His success is due to his persistent effort and continued dedication to training and competition. Congratulations to him!

While dozens of different behaviors and faces were displayed by the competitors after winning or losing a match, all of the competitors demonstrated strong communication between the competitor and their supporters in that moment: a friendly gesture, a hi-five or a proud smile. As it is said, sport fosters the integral growth of the human spirit, creates friendships, and surpasses borders, languages, races, religions and ideologies. The competitions of sports week have brought students more than just competitive spirit, but also personal growth in an integral way！
