“UIC advocates a sports culture in its education. The key to holding the sports meeting is calling on students to participate and enjoy their campus life, and at the same time, reinforcing the relationship with their teachers. I hope everyone can savour the sports carnival today,” said UIC President Prof Ng Ching-Fai in the opening ceremony.
The sports meeting covered 17 individual, seven team and five popular events, including the long jump, the 4×100 metres relay and four-people-five-feet.
