Among the various competitions of the Chengdu Universiade, there is a special and interesting small event in the tennis competition system, called the consolation match, which distinguishes between men’s and women’s groups.

The setting of the consolation match is very rare in the world comprehensive sports meeting. It satisfies the desire of college athletes from all over the world to exchange skills and enhance friendship.
In the badminton event, Chinese player Wang Zhengxing played against Ugandan player Muyangja Amos in the first game. Amos’s racket broke, but he did not have a spare racket. Upon seeing this, Wang Zhengxing immediately lent his spare racket to Amos, and the game continued. After that game, Wang Zhengxing presented a brand new racket to Amos at the suggestion of coach Li Xuerui. In addition to Wang Zhengxing, Tan Qiang, another Chinese college badminton player, also gave a pair of brand new sneakers to Brazilian player Weldon, who will wear these new sneakers in subsequent matches.
Many participating athletes may not take the professional sports route in the future. They come to the Chengdu Universiade in order to show their demeanor and realize their dreams. These stories fully reflect the efforts of the Universiade in promoting sports culture exchanges among college students from all over the world and promoting the development of international college sports.

In addition, in the Chengdu Universiade, we can not only see college athletes borrowing and giving sports equipment to each other, but also seeing athletes from one country “owning” coaches from multiple countries. For example, Sri Lankan gymnasts have received the protection and guidance of coaches from Turkey, Austria and other countries in the same group; In the case of the team doctor, I got help from student delegations from Germany, Australia, Nigeria and other countries. University students from all over the world get to know each other because of the Universiade.
