Some teams started with great enthusiasm but made continuous mistakes, while others gained momentum and improved as they went along. In the end, the team “歐麥尬電烙鐵” claimed the first place.

In the “Frantic” game, teams of 2 had to maintain physical contact throughout the game while carrying a volleyball, soccer ball, basketball, and resistance ball to complete a round trip. This event not only emphasized teamwork and individual coordination among team members but also required a calm and composed attitude. In the end, the team “淡江海豚” secured the first place.

The “Dragonfly Touching the Water” game emphasized muscular strength and flexibility. In teams of 2, one person placed a hula hoop on the ground, and the other person had to jump into the hoop with both feet. The competitors put in their best efforts to move forward, all while enjoying the fun of the competition. It was full of joy, and in the end, the team “淡江鯊魚” secured the first place.

The “Explosive 9-Square” event emphasized strength and accuracy. Each person was limited to throwing 5 tennis balls, and the goal was to knock down the most of the 9-square grid panels within a specified time to win the competition. Cheers erupted every time a pitcher knocked down a panel, creating a lively atmosphere. In the end, the team “女籃賺錢組” claimed the championship.

In recent years, the well-received senior fun competitions featured 3 games: “2 People 1 Ball,” “Crossing Circles,” and “Explosive 9-Square.” The senior participants were full of spirit, and their cooperation and coordination skills were just as impressive as the younger students.
