After the fierce competition for a whole morning, the international student Olive-Jordane Trazie Tiesse BI won the champion of Group Four Men Male Taekwondo 74kg.


This competition was approved by Taekwondo Association in Hubei Province and organized by Communist Youth League in China University of Geosciences Committee, Sports Association and the Association Union in China University of Geosciences, joined by many a universities in Central China and Jordane was the only international student in the stadium. Facing the finest Taekwondo players from different cities , he calmly applied the techniques of kicks and fists in a steady and fast way while dodging the competitor’s attacks flexibly and timely. Finally he beat the players from Wuhan University of Science and Technology, Wuhan Institute of Technology and Hunan International Economics University respectively by 2:0,8:2 and 7:4 and won the champion of Group Four Men Male Taekwondo 74kg.


As a sophomore majoring communication engineering in HUST, Jordane started learning Taekwondo only one month ago under the guide of Gao Feng, a coach in the Department of Sports in our university. Except the routine training on every Friday afternoon, he received extra 2-hour training on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. Driven by the fondness towards Taekwondo, he made great progress after the intensive training.”My childhood dream was to be a Taekwondo player and my parents did not allow that and after entering HUST, I happened to know there is Taekwondo training on campus and with the help of Mr. Gao, I started a fantastic journey to my dream. Though as the only international student on the training ground, I feel happy and relaxing since the teammates treat me very well. ” Jordane reflected: ” I’m very lucky to have the chance in HUST.“


It’s said hundreds of internationals students are studying in our universities currently and a lot of them have actively joined the games or competitions on sports, academy and culture. While displaying themselves in the spotlight, they also inspire the university how to better immerse the international students into the campus life and study. 

                    


                                     我校跆拳道队国际学生代表夺冠华中区大学生跆拳道精英赛


5月15日,“峰道-威驰达”杯2016年华中区大学生跆拳道精英赛于中国地质大学开赛,我校代表队参赛。经过激烈的角逐,我校国际学生铁西脱颖而出,赢得“甲C组男子74kg”冠军。


此次比赛由湖北省跆拳道协会批准举办,共青团中国地质大学(武汉)委员会、中国地质大学(武汉)体育运动协会、中国地质大学(武汉)社团联合会主办。参加本次大赛的包括我校在内的数所华中地区高校,铁西是场上唯一的国际学生。面对高手如云,铁西熟练地运用变化多样的踢法,稳中求快,先发制人,同时也反应迅速,及时地躲避了对手的攻击,最后以2:0,8:2和7:4的成绩分别战胜了武汉科技大学,武汉工程大学和湖南涉外经济学院的对手,顺利地赢得了“甲C组男子74kg”冠军。


 铁西是我校通信工程专业的本科生,一个月前才开始学习跆拳道,师从我校体育部高峰老师,每周五下午他和中国学生一起训练。为了更快地进步,他于每周三、周四及周日晚上额外训练2小时,对跆拳道浓厚的兴趣和高强度的训使得他进步飞快。“我从小的梦想就是当一名跆拳道运动员,但是那时父母不同意。进入华科以后,我在学习专业之余意外了解到学习跆拳道的机会,高老师人很好,愿意教我。虽然我是训练场上唯一的国际学生,但是我感到很开心,也很放松,因为我做的是自己喜欢的事情,而且中国同学们对我非常友好。能在华科有这样的机会,我感到很幸运!”获奖后的铁西感叹道。


据悉,我校在校国际学生数,他们积极地参加学校的各项体育文娱活动,并屡获名次。国际学生展示了自己风貌的同时,也促使我校积极思考如何更好地让国际学生融入校园学习和生活。
