Huang Zhiyong, deputy director of the Winter Games Center of the General Administration of Sport and deputy secretary of the Party Committee, said that under the guidance of General Secretary Xi Jinping's great goal of "driving 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports", in recent years, ice and snow sports have become increasingly popular in colleges and universities, and more and more college students have participated in ice and snow sports, established ice and snow sports clubs, formed ice and snow sports teams, and participated in various ice and snow events. Among them, curling has won widespread attention and love on campus with its unique charm. The holding of the first "National College Curling League" is a new attempt and exploration to promote the popularization and development of ice and snow sports in colleges and universities, and I believe that it is of great significance to the promotion and popularization of Curling in China. It is hoped that all athletes, coaches, referees and staff will adhere to the principle of "openness, fairness and justice", play out of style, level and performance, and strictly abide by the relevant regulations on epidemic prevention and control to ensure the safety of event activities. We eagerly look forward to the passionate and energetic college students to show their strength on the field, surpass themselves, and jointly create a unity, friendship, wonderful and unforgettable curling covenant.
