What's the current progress of the formation of China's delegation? What can we expect regarding the competition's results? Thank you.

Wang Jiayi:

Thank you for your question. This is a question of common concern among college students.

China has always placed great emphasis on exchanges and cooperation with the FISU and has actively taken part in various competitions it has held around the world. As the host country of this session of the Universiade, we have received a lot of attention and high expectations. Under the support of the General Administration of Sport, the formation of the delegation has made smooth progress. I will share with you in three aspects:

First, we will strive to take part in all the competition items. The Chengdu Universiade features 18 sports, all of which we will attend. In addition, we will try to participate in all the events. Currently, there are over 800 delegates, among whom there are some 500 athletes.

Second, the athlete selection is well underway. Following the principle of openness, fairness, and impartiality, we select competitors via competitions and take into account character, willpower, and overall strength.

Third, preparations are proceeding at full steam. Intensified training will be organized in a planned way, targeting 18 sports so as to fulfill high-level preparations and achieve great results during the competition. At the same time, we will conduct zero-tolerance anti-doping work. As China is the host country, we should perform well and in a clean manner.

One thing that I should point out is that the Chengdu Universiade is not only a stage for sports competitions but also a communication platform and an opportunity to showcase the comprehensive quality and spirit among Chinese college students. The Chinese delegation will enhance competition and communication with athletes from other countries at the stadium. We expect to realize a harvest of both competition results and morality and showcase an appealing, amiable, and respectable Chinese image. Thank you.
