福州西湖国际学校于4月初举办了时隔两年的运动会！这一大活动缺席的一年多来，大家还记得在赛场竞技、尽情挥洒汗水是什么感觉吗？我们用心策划了本年度运动会，希望大家在追求更高、更快、更强的同时，不忘彰显体育精神，也享受运动带来的快乐！
Fuzhou Lakeside International School finally resumed its annual Sports Day in early April after a two-year hiatus! Do you remember what it was like to compete and sweat on the field during the year-long absence of this big event? We have designed this year's Sports Day with the hope that students will not forget to show their sportsmanship while aiming higher, faster, and stronger, and also enjoying the sports!
令大家眼前一亮的是，今年中学部运动会场地搬到了福建省奥林匹克体育中心！偌大的场馆给了学子更广阔的舞台，四所学院就400米、200米、100米、接力、拔河等多个项目展开了激烈争夺。为了学院的荣耀，同学们纷纷拿出了真本事——长长的赛道留下多少回忆：起跑时的满满信心、加速冲刺时一鼓作气、落后之际痛苦不甘、撞线那一刻的欢笑与泪水……感谢每位拼尽全力的学子，青春多姿多彩的模样，我们看过、见证过！
To everyone's surprise, this year's Secondary Sports Day’s venue was moved to Fujian Provincial Olympic Sports Center! The large venue gave students a broader stage, and the four houses competed fiercely in a number of events, including the 400-meter dash, the 200-meter dash, the 100-meter dash, the relay race, and the tug of war. For the glory of their house, each student competed with extraordinary skill and effort - the long track left a lot of memories: full of confidence at the start, accelerating sprint with a burst of energy, the agony of falling behind, and tears of joy upon reaching the finish line. Thank you to every student who gave their best. We have seen and witnessed the bloom of youth!
几天后的幼小运动会，我们玩儿出了新花样！此次FLIS将复古元素与运动会相结合，举办了一场复古运动会！每个团队代表一个国家的年代或朝代，以积分赛为形式，分设趣味运动项目和传统团队竞技项目。复古运动会旨在让学生不仅能够体验传统经典的运动，还能了解到更多的体育历史和人文知识，传承世界体育精神。以三年级学生的非洲鼓表演及中学部啦啦舞开场，一连串运动竞技项目在操场上依次上演：投壶、棒球、芬兰撞柱、法国地滚球、蹴鞠大战……
A few days later, we tried a new style of Sports Day for the Primary and ECE students! This time, FLIS combined sports with some retro factors, with each team representing an historical period or dynasty of a certain country. It was a points competition, with programs including fun games and traditional team games. This activity not only helped students to experience the ancient sports games, but also to understand more about sports history and humanities, passing on the spirit of world sportsmanship. Starting with an African drum performance by the third graders and a cheerleading dance by the Secondary girls, a series of sports competitions were staged in the playground: arrow throwing, baseball, Mölkky, French ground ball, soccer, and more!
此次运动会得到了国际知名运动品牌迪卡侬的大力支持。迪卡侬以可持续地让大众同怀运动愿望、共享运动欢益为宗旨，专门设计了多款适合青少年的运动产品，也为FLIS本次活动提供了定制款文化衫、抽绳包及运动器械。运动会当天，迪卡侬福州城市总经理Damien (莫达茗）亲临活动现场，为孩子们加油助威。
Today's sports event was sponsored by the world-famous sports brand Decathlon. Decathlon, whose mission is to sustainably make the enjoyment and benefits of sports accessible to all, designs various sports products suitable for teenagers. It also provided the specially made T-shirts, drawstring bags, and sports facilities for this sports event. Our honorable guest, Decathlon Fuzhou City Leader Mr. Damien also came to the campus and supported us.
“运动会最重要的不是胜利，而是参与；正如在生活中最重要的事情不是成功，而是奋斗；但最本质的事情并不是征服，而是奋力拼搏。”感谢奋力拼搏的每一位学子、感谢辛勤付出使之得以圆满呈现的每一位教职工、以及坚定支持FLIS大家庭的家长们。明年运动会再见！
"The most important thing in Sports Day is not to win but to participate, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."
Thank you to all the students who fought hard, to all the staff who worked so hard to make it a success, and to all the parents who supported the FLIS family. See you at next year's Sports Day!
