2023中国小铁人系列赛暨城市家庭
铁人三项（湖州站）比赛
Grade 2 pupil George won second place in the U9 men's group at the Chinese Triathlon Kids Series (Huzhou Station) 2023.
Only eight years old, he overcame numerous challenges and achieved his personal best, finishing only one minute behind the champion. George now wants to inspire other participants in our school’s triathlon CCA to compete and progress together.
Achievements are a kind of recognition for our pupils. But no matter what they achieve, pupils’ growth is the most valuable thing that they gain.
It is in every practice that they can have a broader horizon, break boundaries of disciplines and combine knowledge with experience. We think that is the meaning of participating in those competitions. We hope our pupils will keep their pace of progress in the new academic year and make more breakthroughs.
