When does 2007 City to City start?

On June 21, the Sophia Church Square was bustling with people, where Mengniu City Between Cities was launching a lively national fitness audition. This large-scale sports and entertainment interactive event ignited the sports enthusiasm of Bingcheng people. If most people in Bingcheng can only watch the upcoming "2007 Asian Roller Skating Marathon Championships and National Roller Skating Marathon" as spectators, then the large-scale national fitness event "Mengniu Between Cities" that really enters the lives of ordinary citizens , it can be said that it gives every Bingcheng person the opportunity to be a protagonist - to compete for Harbin's "City Heroes". This may be another group of eye-catching civilian heroes after "Super Girl".

Sports passion infects citizens

When it comes to landscapes, Harbin's Songhua River and Sun Island are both famous. When it comes to the popular "sports tourism", Harbin was developed early. The concept is mature, and the leaders of the municipal party committee have long since decided on the development strategy of making "sports tourism" one of the core competitiveness of Ice City in the future. Harbin's sports activities have always been rich and colorful.

“We Harbin people have never fallen behind in sports. When Harbin people exercise, the girls are the most beautiful and the boys are the most handsome! Back then, I met my wife on the skating rink and caught up with her. "Early in the morning on the first day of the audition, Xiao Zhang, who had been waiting at the "Mengniu City Between" event, started chatting with reporters as soon as he saw him. His first sentence made everyone laugh. In Xiao Zhang’s words, “Girls in Bingcheng have particularly good figures because of sports, and even young men are taller than those elsewhere.”

The reason why Xiao Zhang came so early was because he thought this activity Bingcheng people must qualify, "Go and compete with foreigners and show our Harbin style to the world!"

""Mengniu City Between" is particularly in line with the needs of our people. You can talk about fitness equipment. , you can only practice by yourself, which is quite lonely and does not suit the personality of Bingcheng people; play tennis, the venue has requirements and is quite expensive. "Mengniu City Between" is interesting and lively, and you can get to know each other while playing and exercising. New friend." said another Xiao Li who was waiting at the registration desk. It turned out that he went to Haikou on a business trip at the end of last year and happened to catch up with the domestic finals of "Mengniu City Between". The decisive scene of the top ten in the north and south was still fresh in his memory, "The scene at that time can be said to be unprecedented. From then on, I I think I will also participate in the audition this year, hoping to represent Harbin.”

Several friends who came to Harbin from Russia were very excited to see the "Mengniu City Between" event. He told reporters: "'Between Cities' is a TV program with high ratings in Russia. We like its happy atmosphere the most, but there is no 'universal audition' like in China, so we can only be spectators." Unexpectedly When I encountered such a chance in China, I naturally wanted to try my hand at it.

National project of urban charm

The ice and snow climate has given Bingcheng people strong perseverance and strong physique. Sports are an important part of Harbin’s urban charm, and the project started in 2006 The national fitness trend set off by "Mengniu City Between" has made the city's charm a national project that everyone can contribute to. The citizens' enthusiastic participation in the competition, unknowingly, actually represents the sense of participation and honor of us Harbin people. What motivates these ordinary citizens to strive to become "city heroes" is actually the sense of urban honor of Harbin people.

While "Mengniu City Between" promotes a healthy and happy life and a positive attitude for the people of Bingcheng, it has also become a new window to show the urban style of Bingcheng and a new source of stimulating urban vitality. A great preview of Harbin's urban spirit of working together to unite and progress. "The appearance of a city depends on the appearance of its people." National fitness is a new source of vitality for a city and an important index of its charm. “Only when the citizens are full of vitality, can this city have dynamic charm.” Seeing the full commitment and passionate performance of every contestant in the "Mengniu City Between" auditions, an onlooker exclaimed!

After three days of auditions on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd, this Sunday will usher in the Harbin promotion competition of "Mengniu City Between" to determine the top ten "city heroes". In the fierce competition among 100 cities, can Harbin be a finalist and represent Chinese cities in international competitions? Please pay attention to the progress of this week's "Mengniu City Between" events, come to the scene and personally join this national sports challenge, and see who is the city hero of Ice City, maybe it is you! China News Service, July 2 (Xinhua) After four days of fierce auditions, the top ten "City Heroes" in Beijing for "Mengniu City Between" made a hot appearance at the basketball court of Beihang University yesterday afternoon. Six heroes Xue Zhiqiang, Dong Ming, Liu Haohan, Lang Huan, Wang Xing, Guo Wenhui and four heroines Xu Lan, Zhao Ying, Zhao Xue and Wei Ning were listed on the "Hero List" and became well-deserved "Heroes of the Capital". The team will be fully prepared for the northern regional rematch in October and the increasingly exciting city competition that will follow.

The fitness arena of "Mengniu City Between" has made many Beijing residents both love and hate it.

What I love is that the fresh and interesting competition events of "Mengniu City Between" are really fun, especially the final events are even more enjoyable; on the other hand, it is a pity that last year's "Mengniu City Between" was in the Northern District rematch. The Beijing team lost due to lack of experience, which made many Beijing citizens who cared about "Mengniu City Between" sigh with regret.

This time, many Beijing citizens who came to participate in the audition came prepared. Aunt Zhang, who lives on Xueyuan Road, appeared at the audition site for two consecutive weekends. When the reporter asked, Aunt Zhang waved her hands repeatedly, "Don't worry, I come here every day. My real purpose is not to compete. I am here to cheer for these young people. At my age and body, I have a lot of fun practicing my skills in the auditions." It’s okay to be happy, but if you really want to advance, you have to hold back young people.” She also said: “I watched the competition between cities last year, and I think our Beijing team should select a group of capable players this year. Participate in the competition and strive to compete abroad! Let foreigners see the style of our Beijingers!” I came here just for participation and entertainment, but I didn’t expect that I could advance with such good results. She said that she felt very honored to be able to represent Beijing in the competition and would go all out in the semi-finals to carry forward the sports enthusiasm of the Beijing people.

""Mengniu City Between" is the stage that best displays the spirit of a city's citizens. On this stage, every performance of the contestants represents the image of their city. I hope that this time it will be completely new The Beijing team formed can put Beijing’s honor first, actively prepare, and fight for its city. I believe that with this belief, the Beijing team will be invincible,” the leader of the Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau expressed to the new Beijing team! own hopes and blessings.

The reporter interviewed Xue Zhiqiang, the first place player in the Beijing competition area. When the reporter asked him how he felt about winning the first place, he said that this was the best reward he had received for his hard work and sweat. Regarding the Northern District rematch that will be held in October, he said that he will strengthen training and "must achieve the best results in the competition and live up to the expectations of Beijing citizens."

As for last year's Beijing team's defeat in the middle, another A player who advanced to the top ten believed that the most important reason was the lack of "dazzling sword" spirit. "This event is not a professional competition for professional players. In fact, the difference in the strength of players in various cities is not very big. Therefore, as Li Yunlong said in the TV series "Bright Sword", our strength may need to be improved, but we must have a critical moment. The courage to show the sword to the opponent must first overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum, so that we have the capital to win!”

“I am proud of Beijing, I am proud of Beijing, Beijing will win!” Facing the reporters' cameras, the young Beijing top ten loudly shouted their declaration of participation.

The birth of the "Top Ten" cities is just the beginning of the national fitness and fun activity "Mengniu City Between". How far can the new Beijing team, which is full of confidence, go in this year's national competition of 100 cities? It also depends on their preparations. It is reported that according to the progress of the event, in October they will compete with the other 49 city teams in the Northern Division for 10 tickets to the national finals. The 10 Chinese city teams that finally win through the North-South confrontation will be able to participate in the international version next year. In the "Between Cities" competition, we competed against city teams from France, Russia, Ukraine and other countries.

The sun was shining brightly on the 16th. As the first large-scale national fitness and entertainment project popular in China, "Mengniu Between Cities" came to Xinjiang and launched the 2007 city-wide audition schedule in People's Square. Urumqi Vice Mayor Ma Xuefeng and other relevant city leaders attended the opening ceremony in People's Square.

They will not only represent their cities in international competitions, but also become spokespersons for the city's style.

"Mengniu City Between" event site

In the People's Square of Urumqi, I saw that this large-scale event received enthusiastic participation from the residents. Nearly a hundred players have signed up to participate in fixed competition events such as "Milkman Pitcher" and "Super Bouncy". In several events, many women participated with great enthusiasm, which convinced the male compatriots who competed in the same field. Taken orally, I have to give it a thumbs up.

The most eye-catching one was a girl in her 20s. During a basketball pitching competition, she dunked 41 basketballs in three minutes, ranking first among women. Only then did she learn that she was a female basketball coach at a sports school. , no wonder his skills are so extraordinary.

The contestants in the "Climbing the Peaks" competition competed for the first place

The "Climbing the Peaks" competition is the best choice to show strength. An 18-year-old boy Wearing a pair of tank tops and sports shorts, showing off his strong and well-developed muscles, he looked particularly eye-catching. This energetic young man, eager to win, climbed to the top in a few big steps in the climbing competition. The competition stipulated that all he had to do was press the small bell for timing, but he accidentally The bell was pulled out completely. During the "Milk Man Pitcher", this impatient contestant forgot to throw the feather key (grass) into the model cow's mouth, causing the onlookers to laugh again and again. At the event site, participants, regardless of age or gender, had great fun in these fun sports. As of that morning, hundreds of Urumqi citizens had signed up to participate in various competitions.
