In recent years, USTB has followed the working approach of making public physical education a priority, mass sports a focus, and competitive sports a highlight. The university has established the School of Physical Education, developed the discipline of physical education, and received approval to offer a professional master’s degree in physical education. With well-regulated physical education teaching, steady progress in discipline development, a strong atmosphere for mass sports, and competitive sports performance that has long ranked among the top universities in Beijing, USTB has gathered strong momentum for unity and progress through the high-quality development of physical education, contributing to its "Double First-Class" development.
The sports meeting was not only a concentrated showcase of USTB's achievements in physical education, but also a vivid presentation of the university’s campus culture and spirit. Taking this event as an opportunity, all USTB members will further carry forward the spirit of sports, transform the perseverance and unity displayed on the field into powerful motivation for diligent study, dedicated practice, and entrepreneurial endeavor, and continue to write new chapters for USTB on the new journey with stronger health, higher spirits, and a more pragmatic approach.
