ICFD Tug of War: Tugging at Academians’ hearts

On 3rd October 2024, the inter-hall event — Tug-of-War had begun. As one of the most remarkable inter-hall events in semester A, our team had undergone strenuous training sessions and pulled out all the stops in preparation for this day.
Men’s (10x10)
Our male team, going up against Hall 10 at the beginning of the event, has shown their coherence and team spirit by sharing the same catchwords whilst pulling at the same speed. They have created a close-knit group in which they worked together harmoniously towards the common goal, an Academian victory. Our male team had fought a long and tough battle but were unfortunately unable to reign supreme over our opponents. During the match, our male team demonstrated unity and resilience. As our hallmates spectated, we were inevitably encouraged by our male team’s perseverance and dedication to the competition.
Women’s (10x10)
Our women team had entered the quarter-final, competing with Hall 12/13. At the beginning of the match, our team applied a multitude of strategies and techniques, striving to win the game. Throughout the whole competition, they had displayed their unbreakable bond by having their pace synchronised with one another. Despite bowing out to Hall 12/13, the Academian team spirit was reflected within their performance. Each of our representatives was committed to the team, with their devotion permeating through their bodies. All of them spared no effort in achieving greatness together.
Tug-of-war is not only about physical strength, but also a showcase of team spirit, strategy and unity. It is without saying that our hall team had completed the game with great camaraderie. A round of applause should be given to all our athletes, in appreciation of their incredible performance. Last, but not least, we should also thank our cheer team. They were rooting and cheering for our hall team, providing an encouraging and supportive environment for our athletes. Regardless of the results, this Tug-of-War had fostered the sense of unity and comradeship within each individual of the JCAC hall. Thank you for all of your great support, see you at the next game!
