Lướt sóng, định hướng nhận được AIMS Games gật đầu cho 2024

Share:

Mới từ khi công bố các dự thi kỷ lục trong năm nay, Zespri AIMS Games được thiết lập để mở rộng hơn nữa với việc bổ sung lướt sóng và định hướng vào năm 2024.

Giải thể thao trung niên thường niên đã thu hút gần 12.000 bài dự thi cho phiên bản 2023, đã ghi nhận sự tăng trưởng lớn trong cả lướt sóng và định hướng, cũng như vai trò bổ sung mà họ đóng trong nhiều môn thể thao khác.

Ông Erin Swanson, chủ tịch Orientering Bay of Plenty cho biết: “Chúng tôi đang thấy sự phát triển rất lớn trong lĩnh vực định hướng, cả trong trường học lẫn quốc gia, vì vậy việc đưa nó vào Zespri AIMS Games và tổ chức lễ kỷ niệm và được công nhận là một môn thể thao chính thống thật tuyệt vời.

Đây cũng là một sự thúc đẩy hơn nữa cho việc lướt sóng, trên mặt sau của hàng đầu Kiwis Billy Stairmand và Saffe Vette vòng loại cho Thế vận hội Paris tuần này tại El Salvador. Chủ tịch Bay Boardriders James Jacobs nói với Zespri AIMS Games được tổ chức tại Tauranga, sự bao gồm của lướt sóng chỉ có ý nghĩa.

Các môn thể thao phi truyền thống đã bùng nổ phổ biến trong những năm gần đây, được phản ánh trong sự quan tâm của AIMS Games, với các mã như bóng rổ 3×3, leo núi và xe đạp leo núi phát triển rực rỡ. Thật thú vị đối với vận động viên 11 tuổi Mount Maunganui Intermediate, Haru Marsden, anh sẽ ra mắt AIMS năm nay chơi bóng đá nhưng sau đó sẽ chuyển tập trung vào tình yêu thể thao khác của mình vào năm tới. Đó là một câu chuyện hơi khác với học sinh 12 tuổi Rotorua Intermediate Ryan Lei, người sẽ thi đấu ở Futsal năm thứ hai liên tiếp tại giải đấu năm nay từ ngày 2-8 tháng 9.

Chủ tịch AIMS Games Trust Henk Popping cho biết cả lướt sóng và định hướng đã đưa ra những trường hợp hấp dẫn để đưa vào và giải đấu rất vui mừng khi đưa họ vào năm tới.
