Sunway Sports Carnival Opening Ceremony 

 

The event first started with Malaysia’s national anthem. It was then followed by Sunway’s proud and talented cheerleading team that helped set up the competitive spirits among those who were in JC Hall.

 

 

Senior Executive Director Dr Elizabeth Lee gave the opening speech, in which she explained that sports is not all about winning, but also to promote cooperation. She reminded the athletes that the carnival is not only to showcase their talents and skills, but also to display good sportsmanship, make new friends and also to learn something from their participation in sports.

 

 

Of course, every sports carnival is supposed to have special opening ceremony. Initially the event was to include flame torch lighting in the opening ceremony, but it was impossible to hold it in the Jeffrey Cheah Hall. They proceeded to continue the opening ceremony with running the flag onto the stage ceremony. Sunway’s two beloved mascots, Samson and Sophia were there to hype the event up.

 

 

After the officiating ceremony, and before the athletes proceeded to their respective sports, photo sessions were held for all the athletes and staffs.

 

Of course, warm up exercises are vital before sports. After the photo session, students were asked to do some basic warm-ups, to get them finally geared up for their tournament!

 

The opening ceremony for sports carnival finally ended after the warm-up exercises. The athletes then headed to their respective sports, hoping to win their tournaments. We wish them all the best!
