Participating in long-distance track events is a multiple test of an athlete's speed, endurance, and willpower. Especially in the final stage of the competition, it is not easy for lagging athletes to change their pace, accelerate, and surpass their opponents. In the women's 10000 meter track and field competition at the Chengdu Universiade, Xia Yuyu from Tsinghua University challenged her in the final lap, overtaking her opponent, accelerating and colliding to win the championship. Xia Yuyu's spirit of daring to challenge and fight has earned netizens a lot of likes.
On the competitive field, athletes often face various challenges. Sometimes we have to face stronger opponents, sometimes we have to overcome difficulties such as injuries... Only by persevering, facing challenges, growing through sweat, and transforming through trials and tribulations, can we surpass ourselves and show better form.
Meeting challenges is constantly striving towards new goals. After winning 2 gold, 1 silver, and 2 bronze medals at the World Swimming Championships, Chinese delegation athlete Zhang Yufei immediately joined the Universiade and participated in 9 events. Next, she will also participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games, which will open in September this year. Participating in high-intensity competitions one after another tests the physical fitness and mentality of athletes, but Zhang Yufei always wears a smile and calmly challenges the competition. In her opinion, a gold medal is not the end point, but a new starting point for facing challenges.
To face challenges is to persevere in the face of difficulties. In the final of the Taekwondo women's team character competition at the Chengdu Universiade, facing a strong opponent, Chinese delegation athlete Li Wan and her teammates decided to challenge the high difficulty move of "multiple legs behind the spring" 30 minutes before going on stage, which is rarely completed in regular training. They dared to fight and eventually completed their movements smoothly in the competition, earning a precious silver medal.
Embracing challenges is never giving up after encountering setbacks. The winners on the field are certainly admirable, but the athletes who bravely face and persist in moving forward after losing are also worthy of applause. After the bronze medal competition in the women's individual archery event at the Chengdu Universiade, Zhou Jiayu, who lost, blushed. This was the third time she had missed a medal at this year's Universiade. When it comes to the future, Zhou Jiayu, who has already finished all competitions, is not discouraged. Instead, she said that her experience on the field has taught her a lot, and she will improve herself and continue to pursue her dreams.
"Striving for better in the next competition" and "Everyone has done their best"... On the field of the Chengdu Universiade, the experience of college athletes bravely facing challenges is a reflection of their pursuit of excellence and breakthroughs on the path of life. Their stories will also inspire more people to strive for their dreams and move forward bravely!
