/PRZWT/SHANGHAI, Dec. 16, 2024 - Recently, I will go to the National Games "Gaodong Cup". The finals of the 2024 China Gateball Championship will be held at the Gaodong Ecological Park in Pudong. Nearly 1,000 players and staff from 111 teams from 30 provincial-level administrative regions across the country gathered in Gaodong for a grand event.
At the opening ceremony, the members of the Sanlin Dragon and Lion Dance Team held high the golden auspicious dragon and auspicious lion, and became the focus of attention with their precise and tacit cooperation and light and vivid interpretation; Yangyuan Central Primary School performed the "Gateball Exercise" to show the sporting style of the Gaodong goalball players; the Gaodong Town Huaquan Intangible Cultural Heritage Team brought a traditional martial arts performance with fierce boxing style and changeable moves, showing the style of a warrior in one move.
At the scene of the game, the goalkeepers from all over the country brought a gripping game. The precise shots and tacit cooperation on the green field showed their superb skills and high-spirited fighting spirit. The participants' enthusiastic all-out dedication and unyielding fighting spirit together created a wonderful final chapter.
After three days of intense competition, 32 teams won the competition in the group stage and the knockout stage, among which the second goalball team sent by Gaodong Town achieved a good result in fifth place.
It is understood that the final of the China Croquet Championship is a domestic croquet event. Ma Yingbo, Secretary of the Party Committee of Gaodong Town, said that coinciding with the good opportunity for croquet to become a National Games event, Gaodong will once again usher in the "Middle Championship" event, and will firmly seize the opportunity, vigorously improve the organization and competitive level of the event, continue to promote the development and growth of croquet, and actively contribute to the National Games.
In the future, Gaodong Town will continue to polish the signboard of "National Gateball Hometown", promote the sport of goalball to truly become a "whole life cycle sport", and let more people feel the style of goalball.
