Sports Recognition | 看我们在体育赛场上勇往无前，体育精神永远闪耀！

体育赛季在学年之初就开启了。体育部的老师和各个运动队的教练老师们带着活力和对整个学年的期待，带领同学们投入到有条不紊的训练中。有了充分的准备，在秋季赛季中，高中排球队和初中足球队在初期的几场比赛中就表现非凡。最终，足球队在最后一轮比赛中满载而归，女子队在自己组别中获得了第三名，而男子队则收获了锦标赛的冠军。胜利的喜悦更加激发了所有运动队的热情。

在冬季赛季中，首先进行了高中篮球队的决赛，我们的男子队和女子队表现得非常勇敢，即使是在最困难的时刻也不放弃。他们以出色的赛场表现向所有人展示了顽强拼搏的体育精神。初中排球赛季成为国际部体育大家庭的转折点，因为本赛季比赛由我校主办。在熟悉的赛场上，大家发挥得更加自如。在男子排球锦标赛中，我们的男子队成功经受住了挑战，获得第三名。同一天，我们的两支女子队也在激烈的竞争中脱颖而出，获得了不俗的成绩。

春季开始，高中足球队，初中篮球队、羽毛球、乒乓球、网球和田径选手就紧锣密鼓地准备着比赛，大家都想以最好的状态代表国际部参赛。在此期间，我们的运动队将多个奖项收入囊中，包括初中男子田径400米短跑比赛第三名，初中女子网球双打比赛第二名，以及高中女子乒乓球单打比赛中第二名。此外，在初中男子网球和乒乓球比赛以及羽毛球的两个组别中，我们的运动员们也都展现了积极拼搏的精神。初中所有篮球队一如既往地在比赛中展现了他们对体育的热爱和坚韧的意志。最后，随着高中足球队女队和男队收获各自组别的第三名，本学年的体育赛季也完美收官。

With thorough preparation and determination, the high school volleyball teams and the middle school soccer teams showed exceptional prowess in the early matches of the fall season. The soccer teams had successful final tournaments with the girls’ team securing 3rd place in their category and the boys winning the championship. Excitement was through the roof igniting the sport spirit at THIS for the rest of the year.

In the winter, our high school boys’ and girls’ basketball teams displayed great courage, never giving up even in the most challenging moments. They showcased a tenacious spirit of sportsmanship through their excellent performance on the court. During the middle school volleyball season, THIS began hosting games and tournaments again first time in a while – definitely a positive turning point for our sports program. Being on familiar court, everyone performed more confidently. Our boys’ volleyball team took 3rd place in tournament, while the two girls’ teams fiercely played also bringing home trophies. 

As spring approached, the high school soccer team, middle school basketball team, badminton, table tennis, tennis, and track and field athletes were diligently preparing for their respective competitions, eager to represent THIS Spartans. A few achievements include 3rd place in the middle school boys’ 400m sprint, 2nd place in the middle school girls’ doubles tennis, and 2nd place in the high school girls’ table tennis singles. All three middle school basketball teams continued to show their passion for the game and resilient willpower in the matches. Both girls and boys high school soccer teams achieved 3rd place in their respective categories. Bravo to our Spartans!

As each sports team stepped on stage to receive their awards, the entire secondary community showered them with warm applause and cheers. The entire THIS family is proud and proud of these vibrant athletes.
