Excitement and satisfaction filled with the face of each winning player. Such a trophy, is not only showing the level of recognition of each player, but also the best proof of the player’s passion for table tennis. During the match, athletes tried their best to compete with opponents, but also maintained respect for the opponent and friendly. After the tournament, the players talking and laughing, a lot of experts left each other contact and expected to play again. This made our tournament very meaningful and important, linking our overseas students tightly through table tennis.

The success of this event cannot be separated from the preparation of several students (Jiao Chen, Jin Chang, Tian Zhang, Fei Xu, Qian Feng, etc.) from ACSSNL-CSC association. They had been working on a few months of preparation and schedule. Besides, we should appreciate the volunteers from ACSSNL-Delft association who worked hard and tireless dedication. They actively helped all the participants and maintained the tournament in an orderly manner. Furthermore, this competition was particularly grateful to the support and sponsorship from the Education Section of Chinese Embassy in the Netherlands. The secretary Mr. Wang from Chinese Embassy attended the event as a representative and participated in the competition, which showed that the real love of table tennis is regardless of age and regardless of occupation. Last but not the least, thanks to the D.H.C club for supporting us with help and service.
Due to this tournament, our friendship just started. Training more and practising often, let us meet again next year!
