A Chinese primary school sports day
Inspired by the Beijing Olympic Games, the sports day at a Chinese primary school starts with delegations from different countries and an opening ceremony with traditional taijiquan and Beijing Opera performed by the students. Students participate in track and field sport competitions. They find it tiring but good fun, although some might be disappointed if they lose. Teachers usually have to participate in some competitions too. The prize-giving ceremony is always the highlight of the sports meeting.
