03 Insights Shared by our Participants

ZHANG Yu, Chief Referee
Q: What do you think of this 1st International Campus Games?
A: Despite its smaller scale in terms of participants, the event embodied the saying “small in size but complete in every aspect.” From the opening ceremony to the awards presentation, and from the starting gun to the joy of receiving medals, the entire process was exceptionally well-executed. The campus facilities and equipment provided a solid foundation. Our referees, all of whom are in-service faculty members from Zhejiang University and hold national-level officiating credentials, contributed to a fair competition. Transitioning from the previous university sports meeting to this, the faculty, staff, and students of the International Campus showcased excellent physical fitness and a resilient spirit, achieving a high level of competition.

JI Shuhan, Timer Volunteer Representative
Q: How does the role of volunteer in the university sports meeting differ from your involvement at the campus games?
A: In the university sports meeting, volunteers from International Campus representative team mainly assist in athlete registration and provide support services. However, in this International Campus Games, we are more actively involved in officiating, timing, and other event-related tasks, immersing ourselves in the vibrant and competitive atmosphere.

LIU Wenting, Gold Medal in Student Women's 100m    
Q: You achieved outstanding results in the university sports meeting. What are your feelings about participating in this campus games?
A: When we went to the Zijingang campus for the competition before, there were relatively few supporters for the International Campus representative team. This time, on our own home turf, many friends were cheering and supporting us. It made me particularly excited!

LIN Haoxiang, Gold Medal in Student Men's 400m   
Q: You also participated in the 400m race at the university sports meeting. What breakthroughs did you achieve this time?
A: In the previous university sports meeting, I unfortunately stopped at the preliminaries and couldn't showcase my true potential. This time, I learned from past experiences, practiced diligently, overcame my weaknesses, and set my sights on the gold medal. I am so delighted that the result was much better than before.

PENG Boyu, Gold Medals in Young Faculty Men's Long Jump and Men’s 100m   
Q: As someone who secured the gold medal, do you have any feelings or experiences to share?
A: The weather today is beautiful, and there exudes a vibrant and positive atmosphere. The breakthrough in my performance is closely linked to this atmosphere. The campus has provided us with a great sports environment. Generally, faculty, staff, and students on our campus are passionate about sports. I hope that more iZJUers can join the ranks as sports enthusiasts.
