From June 22nd to 23rd, the Hong Kong Cheerleading Open Championship and Invitational Tournament, organized by the Hong Kong Cheerleading Federation, successfully concluded in Hong Kong. Seven cheerleaders from NCG, led by coaches Gao Li and Zhao Wei from the Physical Education Teaching Center, were invited to participate in the competition in Hong Kong, competing alongside teams from Hong Kong and Mainland China. Before the competition, our team members overcame the dual pressures of final exams and training, making full use of their spare time to train actively. Ultimately, our university's cheerleading team won the championship in the Open Group Pom Cheerleading category of this competition.

At the award ceremony, Zhang Huiyong, a fourth-level researcher from the Publicity, Culture and Sports Department of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and Wong Ting-kwong, a former member of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, presented the award to our university's cheerleading team. During the ceremony, Zhao Wei, a teacher from the Physical Education Teaching Center, delivered a speech on behalf of the Guangdong Gymnastics and Acrobatics Association and the participating teams from Guangdong. She expressed sincere gratitude to the Hong Kong Cheerleading Federation and looked forward to deepening future exchanges between the two regions in cheerleading. She also emphasized the joint promotion of sports development in the Greater Bay Area, hoping that cheerleading would become an ambassador for cultural exchange and an engine for economic development.

This participation in the Hong Kong competition not only showcased the positive competitive spirit of our university's students but also deepened communication and exchange with Hong Kong youth, opening a new chapter in sports interactions between our students and those from Hong Kong. The Physical Education Teaching Center will also fully leverage the educational role of sports competition training, increasing opportunities for students to learn through external exchanges, and strive to achieve excellent results in higher-level competitions.

According to reports, nearly 70 teams participated in the competition, comprising approximately 850 athletes. These teams represented primary and secondary schools, universities, and clubs from Hong Kong, as well as invited teams from mainland China. The age range of participants was notably wide, with the youngest competitor being 6 years old and the oldest 74 years old.
