FISU World-University-Games: Chengdu China: Shining as a highlight on the global sports calendar, the FISU World-University-Games: Chengdu China graced the southwest of the People’s Republic of China from July 28 to August 8, 2023. This remarkable event served as a showcase for some of the most exceptional university student-athletes worldwide. Honorable Chinese President Xi Jinping graced the occasion, personally attending the ceremony and officially inaugurating the games.

Set within the awe-inspiring confines of the newly constructed Dong’an Lake Sports Park Stadium, boasting an impressive 40,000 seating capacity, the ceremony marked the very heart of the Chengdu 2021 FISU Games. This architectural marvel took inspiration from the realms of space, fashioning itself with a captivating round, “UFO” design. Ingenious digital methods brought to life a monumental, glazed glass rooftop, distinguished as Asia’s largest.

The stadium further boasted China’s grandest canopy, meticulously woven from circular polyester grid membranes. This flying saucer-inspired canopy was adorned with the intricate pattern of the Golden Sun Bird, beautifully representing international prowess, Chinese artistry, and the enduring Bashu culture.

Finally, the highly anticipated 31st edition of the World University Games, one of the globe’s largest multi-sport events, took center stage. Formerly known as the Universiade, this edition, initially slated for 2021, faced two COVID-19-related postponements.

A Grand Opening Parade

As the sun descended, the opening ceremony unfurled with a grand parade at 20:07, spotlighting exceptional athletes from 18 diverse sports. Student delegations from 113 countries and regions embarked on the “Splendid Road,” adorned with intricate Sichuan embroidery patterns, evoking a warm reception from the audience. The procession climaxed with China’s delegation, greeted with fervent applause and cheers. Among the spectators, Chinese President Xi Jinping acknowledged the crowd, in a cascade of jubilation.

Guided by a personal bond with the Olympic Games, I keenly trace the journey of my athlete, Jahir Rayhan (Zahir Raihan), embodying the essence of a champion. In 2021, he emerged as Bangladesh’s proud representative in the Men’s 400-meter run at the Tokyo Olympics. His presence in lane-2 of the event’s third heat, alongside athletes from the USA, Brazil, Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Slovenia, and Congo, fueled a spirited competition.

Quoting Jahir Rayhan’s Determination

“I did better timing here than I did in the Asian Championship. I narrowly failed to break the national record. I will try to do better timing in the semi-final.”
