"Worth it better"!, Director of the Summer Universiade of the International Federation of Sports Federations: The Chengdu Universiade has been postponed for two years due to the pandemic. The International Federation of Sports Federations | Chengdu | Universiade
On the afternoon of the 3rd, a special press conference on the operation of the Chengdu Universiade was held at the main media center. Zhao Jing, Director of the Summer Universiade of the International Sports Federation, stated that the biggest feeling about the Chengdu Universiade was "heat"; Faced with the only Chengdu Universiade in the history of the International Federation of Trade Unions that has been postponed twice due to the pandemic, she believes that "because the Chengdu Universiade is worth it better, and it has been the best, all the waiting is worth it.".
The city hosting the World University Games is almost the main coordinates on the life journey map of Beijing resident Zhao Jing. Belgrade, Shenzhen, Kazan, Gwangju, Naples... The latest highlighted coordinates are Chengdu. In the past 20 years, she has gone from being a volunteer for the Beijing Universiade to becoming the leader of the Chinese delegation to the Universiade. Now, she is the director of the International University Sports Federation Summer Universiade.
"For me, Chengdu has transformed from a name to a partner who shares the same breath and destiny." Zhao Jing said, "The Universiade is a stage for college athletes from various countries to pursue their dreams of youth and exchange culture. Chengdu has achieved this dream."
This is Zhao Jing's 12th time coming to Chengdu, every time for the Universiade. She said that the biggest feeling every time I visit Chengdu is the city's "heat". The heat in Chengdu is the clear and sunny weather outside the window, as it is today. It is definitely hot; it is the sweat shed by athletes fighting hard on the field, which is also hot; it was during the opening ceremony, our organizational team couldn't help but shed tears of emotion, which is also hot; the various customer groups hanging registration cards on the streets and alleys, the fireworks stained on the streets of Chengdu, are also hot; I also saw the crowded venues, waves of people, waves of heat waves, waves of cheers, and the audience not only cheering for the Chinese delegation, but also cheering for all delegations. Applause, this passion is also hot.
Zhao Jing said, "Everyone knows that the Chengdu Universiade has been postponed twice due to certain reasons. In the past two years, many people have asked me the same question: 'Why was it postponed twice?' I have always been the same answer: because the Chengdu Universiade is worth it better. I think now, as each of us can see, we have indeed waited for it better, and all our waiting is worth it."
In the past few days, many netizens have found that many members of the Universiade delegation have appeared on the streets and alleys of Chengdu. Many netizens joke that the delegation is not here to participate in the Universiade, but to travel. Zhao Jing believes that the delegation is not only here to participate in the Universiade, but also to experience Chengdu. I think this is the significance of hosting this event. What you may see on social media is that our hotpot and skewer shops are bustling with people and enjoying themselves. However, on the field, we can also see high-level competition from athletes from various countries, such as table tennis, badminton, gymnastics, martial arts, diving, etc. Since the start of swimming in the past few days, our records for the Universiade have been broken again and again in just a few short days, and our competition is also at a high level. I hope that media friends can have time to participate in the competition in addition to their busy work. Taking a walk on the streets of Chengdu, I also hope that this Universiade can leave more beautiful memories for everyone
