Chapter 177 Entrance Ceremony
Tang Su was a little surprised.
In the past, referees for school sports games were mostly teachers from the school, but this time, the referees were teachers and students from the Municipal Sports Association and the Sports College. These people are more professional and should be more fair and not biased towards one school.
Next, the athletes entered the stadium, and Tang Su followed the team into the stadium, raising the small flag in his hand to signal to the audience in the stands.
The broadcast continued: "The representatives of the Changde High School first-year female athletes, who are united, motivated and full of energy, are coming towards us. A total of 178 students from the Changde first-year female group signed up for individual events, and 121 students signed up for group events. Look, these girls are full of vigor, youth and vitality. Looking for a dream and chasing a sky, today they will write their own youth yearbook with sweat and hard work."
Tang Su walked in the middle of the team. This was not her first time participating in a sports meet. She had become accustomed to such occasions and the feeling of being the center of attention.
However, looking at the long line of athletes behind, there are really a lot of athletes participating in the competition. She thinks there may be dozens of people signing up for each individual event. Some popular events, such as 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, etc., are expected to have a lot of people signing up, and the competition will definitely be fierce at that time.
Tang Su thought that this sports meeting was very interesting.
She is not afraid of competition, but is afraid that it will not be fun, because the most boring thing is to see noobs fighting each other.
Tang Su followed the team across the rostrum and then stood on the playground.
After her, other athletes also entered the scene soon.
The stadium was boiling at this time, with people clapping, beating drums, blowing whistles, and even some classes waving colorful flags.
Next comes the second item, raising the national flag.
Tang Su saw the host Secretary He walking onto the stage again. He took the microphone and said loudly: "Next, please all stand up, raise the national flag, play the national anthem, and salute the flag."
The noisy stadium soon became quiet, and Tang Su saw Xue Yao again at this time. He walked towards the flag-raising platform from the left side of the runway with several other flag bearers.
His steps were obviously more standardized than those of the other deputy flag bearers, and his posture was upright and his bearing was dignified.
It was not the first time that Changde’s students saw Xue Yao as a flag bearer, but it was the first time they saw him in formal attire. He was so pleasing to the eyes that some girls disregarded discipline and secretly took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
When the national flag was raised, Tang Su saluted like everyone else and sang the national anthem quietly along.
At this time, her mood became more excited than before, because this occasion really made it easy to get emotional.
Next came speeches from leaders, referees and athletes.
The speaker this time was not the principals of the two schools but the deputy director of the district education bureau. With such a leader as the finale, it was not the turn of the principals of the two schools.
Tang Su didn't listen to the speeches of these people very seriously, because they were all clichés, and the words they said at every sports meeting were almost the same. She thought that these people might have copied the speeches from the Internet, so they were mysteriously similar, and it was a bit uninteresting to listen to them.
After the speech, the opening ceremony began. There were six programs in total, with two schools preparing three programs each.
The first program was a drum performance by the second grade of Changde High School. Sixty drums were struck on the scene. The drums sounded like thunder and were magnificent. On the big drum in the middle, a girl stood in the middle and danced.
