Our Swimmers Bring Home Medals from Tokyo 游泳选手获奖凯旋

On 13th and 14th October, 600 athletes from 5 countries met in Tokyo, Japan, for the 2018 Buccaneer Invitational Swim Meet.

10月13-14日在日本东京举办了2018 海盗游泳邀请赛，来自5个国家的600名选手参加了本次比赛。

Among them were 26 swimmers from the Firepower International Swimming Club, including Kyle Liu, Ryan Peng, Kam Cheuk, Summer Wu and Ziyue Wu from Yew Chung International School of Beijing.

火力国际游泳俱乐部共派出26名运动员参加了本次比赛，其中5名学生来自北京耀中，分别是Kyle Liu、Ryan Peng、Kam Cheuk、Summer Wu 以及 Ziyue Wu.

Our YCIS Beijing swimmers performed brilliantly over the two-day competition, with every single one beating personal best times.

In the U8 category, Ryan Peng won three group gold medals and one bronze in the 100m freestyle relay. Summer Wu won a group gold medal and a bronze in the 100m medley relay. 

在为期两天的比赛中，北京耀中的小泳员们表现极其优异，所有选手皆游出了个人最好成绩。在8岁及以下年龄组，Ryan Peng获得了3个小组冠军和100米自由泳接力铜牌。Summer Wu同样获得了1个小组冠军和100米混合泳接力铜牌。

火力俱乐部教练韩佳说道：

“In addition to the fantastic results, it is the growth of the YCIS Beijing swimmers that we should be celebrating. We were very pleased to see how our children learned to help each other over the course of the competition. When someone was standing on the starting block, the other children looked ahead too. When a teammate lagged in the water, the children cheered them on. But what touched us most of all, when the tournament was over, was the strong and simple friendship between the children.”

除了成绩之外，更应该庆祝的是北京耀中小泳员们的成长。在比赛整个历程中，我们非常欣慰可以看到孩子们之间的相伴相助。当他们的队友站上出发台，其他孩子也凝神期待。当队友在水中拼搏时，我们听见孩子们齐声呐喊为他助威。整场比赛结束，真正让我们最为感动的是孩子们之间单纯而坚定的友谊。
