"Beep!" The crisp whistle sounded, and all the contestants leaned back slightly, and kicked the ground with their legs. Gripping the rope one by one, their faces flushed. "One, two, three, come on!" The audience waved their hands to the rhythm of the arena, shouting and cheering for the tug-of-war players, and the atmosphere of the scene was instantly ignited.

The Games set up a total of 6 competitions, including "Skillful Military Rations", "Carrying Weights", "Throwing Pots", "Brave Bombardiers", "Battlefield Creeping Relay Race" and "Tug-of-War Competition", which not only integrated fun, collaboration and competition, but also incorporated rich military elements.
In the link of "skillfully transporting military rations", the team members tacitly cooperated, just like the logistics troops on the battlefield, quickly and accurately delivering the "military rations", showing the wisdom of teamwork and strategic planning; In the "Carrying Weight Forward" link, the team members carried heavy equipment, walked firmly, were not afraid of difficulties, and took every step with the perseverance of soldiers; In the "Battlefield Creeping Relay Race", the team members stuck close to the ground and moved forward quickly, like real soldiers shuttling on the battlefield, reflecting the fighting spirit of not being afraid of difficulties and moving forward bravely...... Everyone used their youthful posture and brilliant performance to bring a different kind of sports feast to this hot July.

This activity is not only a vivid practice of national defense education for young people, but also a concentrated display of the achievements of the work of double support in the streets of Caoyang New Village. Since the beginning of this year, the street has taken the lead in setting up the district's first town-level "Reverence Public Welfare Volunteer Service Alliance", and relying on brand projects such as community (juvenile) military academies, "soldiers" to warm their hearts, and collective birthday parties for retired soldiers, more than 30 service activities have been carried out, covering more than 2,500 person-times. In the first half of the year, the street received a total of 3 good news reports of third-class meritorious service and fourth-class soldiers, and the results of the double-support work were gratifying.
