A total of 6,500 student athletes from 113 countries and regions competed at the Chengdu FISU Games.

They were really excited as most of them first met with a giant panda in person. “They are much cuter than they are in videos,” Mario Del Basso, a water polo athlete from Italy, said to China Daily. To attract the attention of the giant pandas, many athletes also made an effort to learn how to say “come here” in the local Sichuan dialect (方言). Chinese and foreign athletes also made good friends during the Games.

He asked for Menezes’s shoe size immediately after the match and gave his own pair of new shoes to Menezes. “I am very grateful for Tan’s help,” Menezes said. “It’s a great pair of shoes and I love it. After I go back to Brazil, I will also wear the shoes for training.” This event not only provides a stage for competition, but also serves as a platform for cultural exchange and the development of friends
