Covering a total of three days, it all started with an opening ceremony. The athletes marched out onto the track proudly wearing the uniforms for their team...After the official tea ceremony of course.
This is actually a track meet at the high school I'm teaching at. Back in Canada, if we had a track meet, we would wear pinneys and it would be for half a day. We didn't have opening and closing ceremonies, nor did we have costumes and outfits for them:
The bikes they are riding are part of the hugely popular bike-sharing system here in China. Glad to see they are being put to good use and not thrown on the side of the sidewalk like some places I've seen. :D
Other classes/teams had some incredibly creative outfits:
The classes all either designed the costumes themselves or rented them out. If they designed them, they got to keep them. Here are some of the outfits that made me scratch my head:
I appreciate you taking the time to read through my post or peruse the pictures.
If you haven't already, take a look at the board game my friends and I are working on. It'll be released this January on Kickstarter!
