The hurdle race in full swing
On March 9th, 2019 Recruitment Test for High-level Sports Team was held as scheduled at Huazhong Agricultural University (HZAU), which attracted 235 candidates nationwide to sign up for the test, including 86 national first-level athletes and 149 national second-level athletes. HZAU will determine the list of admitted candidates in terms of the number of candidates, test results and the requirements of HZAU’s sports team. Vice President Wu Ping inspected the test site and the test-related affairs.
On March 8th, candidates for Recruitment Test for High-level Sports Team received the admission tickets and number bibs in the Student Affairs Hall of the Student Comprehensive Service Building of HZAU, and signed the “Integrity Commitment in Recruitment Test for High-level Sports Team”. The test covered two major items including badminton and track & field, and the whole process from candidate check to the very end of each test was videoed to ensure openness, fairness, and justice.
Badminton candidates were tested on three items: special skill, physical fitness, and competitiveness, the last of which accounted for 60% in the test. Shen Zixuan, a student who had just finished the special technique test just now, said with a smile, ”I feel that I played well just now and I am more confident about the combat competitiveness in the afternoon.” On the evening of the 8th, the head of the admissions office explained the badminton rules to the candidates and showed them around the gymnasium so as to help them adapt to the venue in the university gymnasium.
The track and field test, including hurdle race, sprint, long-distance race, long jump, triple jump, high jump, shot, discus, javelin and other items, was held at the East Playground at 14:20. Outside the East Playground, candidates' parents were anxiously waiting for the results. A candidate's parent from Hubei province said that the competition of high-level athletes was more intense and the situation was even more severe this year than those in previous years. Therefore, he hoped that every candidate could seize the opportunity and have best performance.
It was reported that the number of candidates who had signed up for the recruitment test for HZAU’s high-level sports team this year was more than doubled compared with last year. The list of pre-admitted candidates will be posted on the university admissions website in April.
