In an interview with reporters on the 29th, the president of the Australian Alumni Association of Sun Yat-sen University, Zhuang, said, "I hope that through this competition, I can lead the local mainstream society to actively participate in this sport and promote air volleyball to more countries around the world." ”
Howway Zhuang said that air volleyball has a good mass base in Sydney. This competition is the first time in the world to hold an air volleyball championship, and it has received strong support from domestic enterprises. He is very happy that the success of the tournament is the result of the joint efforts of all parties in recent years to promote the development of air volleyball.
Qi volleyball is a very good sport, which originated in China and was introduced in 2018 by the Australian Alumni Association of Beijing Sport University, which is one of the main promoters of the sport. In just a few years, air volleyball has gained a certain popularity in the Chinese community and even the entire mainstream society. It is the wish and vision of the Sun Yat-sen University Australian Alumni Association to let China's own innovative sports blossom and bear fruit in the world and promote Chinese culture around the world.
According to Zhuang, air volleyball is currently one of the most active sports in the Chinese community in Sydney, and it is more attractive to everyone than badminton, table tennis and football, which were previously popular among Chinese people. At the same time, the characteristics of this sport make it easier to grasp by middle-aged and elderly people and elementary school students, which is why its popularity is so fast. At present, in various communities in Sydney, there are basically air volleyball enthusiasts doing activities, training, and competitions every day. He stressed that he hoped that the success of the competition would send a positive message to the world.
When asked about his level of air volleyball, he said with a smile: "I am very ashamed that my strength is swimming, but because of my love and promotion of this sport in recent years, I myself participated in the early days, and now I have brought alumni and my family to join it." (ENDS)
