Successes and losses are not the key point of USTC sports gala. What USTC and International College would like our international students to learn from the sports gala is the spirit of sports. We can fight as one team without the fear of failure and embarrassment. To gain the spirit of sports, to achieve success in spite of hardship, to feel the moment of running and jumping, that is the ultimate goal of USTC Sports Gala. |
