The first rival we faced was the team from School of Information Management,and our teammates were anxious before the race. When the whistle blew, our team members spared no pains to row the boat toward the end. Finally, we won the first race.Next we faced with the team of the School of Surveying and Mapping, and won this match in less than five second. Being encouraged by the result, they became more and more excited as the competition went on. After a short break, our old friend, School of Electrical Engineering also suffered a defeat. Finally, our group advanced to the last eight triumphantly.

In the following games, in spite of the fact that we met many strong opponents, we didn’t trap by the tiredness so that we successively won School of Basic Medicine and School of Mathematics and Statistics and had qualified for the final. In the first round, our team and the team of School of Electronic Information struggled to row and water splashed in all direction. After 20 seconds of stalemate, our athletes still insisted on rowing with all their strength. They didn’t relax for even just a second. In the end,we won the first round. In the second round, the opposite team had no strength and was defeated by our team which had high passion. Excitingly, our team won the finals with the score of two to zero. The whistle rang and the referee declared the final winner was us. Our team members raised the oars and shouted excitedly to celebrate the victory of the race.

We not only have shown great physical strength but also carried forward tenacious spirit and fighting style.
