Fun Warm Up
Unlock Full Energy

A lively start, happiness first!
A lighthearted and fun warm up game kicks things off, instantly igniting the atmosphere～

Six teams appeared on the scene in different colored jerseys, shining brightly!
Passionate Pink, Sky Blue, Steady Black, Bright Green, Bold Red, Deep Blue... six colors interweaving and clashing, bright and eye catching. Everyone rubbed their hands, flexed their muscles, and struck poses.

Team "Precision Guided" lined up neatly and declared with confidence, "Floor curling, we rule the world!" – full of self assurance. 

Team "Carry the Kettle Rush" was carefree and laid back, saying calmly, "You finish yours, I’ll take it easy" – unrestrained and relaxed.

Team "Just Do It" stretched their bodies and shouted cheerfully, "Don’t overthink it, just do it!" – bold and crisp.

Team "Green Giant" showed off their muscle poses toughly, chanting "Unbeatable Hulk, Hulk unbeatable" – high in morale.

Team "Kettle Eat Kettle Drink" were wildly imaginative, swaying and shouting: "Kettle eat, kettle drink, geese curve their necks and sing to the sky – everyone here, you are surrounded on all sides" – wonderfully amusing.

Finally, Team "Thirteen Guardians" declared with deadpan seriousness, "Competition first, friendship thirteenth" – hilarious～

All six teams were in full swing, storing up energy for the floor curling showdown to come!

Passionate Encounters
A Two Way Street of Chemistry

After the warm up, everyone was raring to go.
The smooth lanes laid out in advance became natural arenas, colorful curling stones lined up neatly, and the six teams quickly took their positions.

With the first curling stone gliding smoothly forward, the much anticipated floor curling battle was set to ignite in an instant!

Steady! Aim for the scoring zone! Knock theirs out!

Push lighter, avoid the obstacles – don’t go out of bounds!

Adjust the angle a little more this way, form an "encirclement" for our team!

The team members leaned down, bent their knees, focused intently, eyes locked on the target area. With steady wrist power, the stones slid forward, drawing smooth arcs across the track～

Some delivered with precision, landing a winning shot, sending the stone steadily into the scoring zone, igniting cheers across the venue.

Some played a steady game, cleverly breaking down opponents’ attacks and turning the tables in a thrilling comeback, earning warm applause.

Some looked effortless, pushing casually – yet cleverly blocked the way, creating an unexpected "accidental success" moment, full of pleasant surprises.

Others were a little less skilled – the stones occasionally veered off course – but they re‑adjusted in the encouraging laughter of their teammates and set off again.

On the arena, there was both individual focused precision and well‑planned tactical teamwork. The competitive situation changed every moment, the suspense remained throughout – until the very last second, no one could predict the winner!

The crucial final round brought the most exciting and passionate conclusion to the whole event. The situation reversed several times, with ups and downs, but the team members remained calm in their formations, carefully devised tactics, and cool headed overall strategy.

Every tactical arrangement, every collaborative effort fully demonstrated NCMC team members’ wisdom, unity, and tolerance.

Time slipped away amid laughter and joy, and this floor curling challenge, full of both fun and strategy, came to a successful close. It was not just a test of physical strength or a simple game; it was a contest of strategic thinking and an opportunity for growth.

Assessing the situation calmly, adjusting tactics on the fly, setting up strategies in sync – every move contained deep, deliberate planning, and every offense and defense was a collision of team wisdom...

In the back and forth competition, everyone learned to play a steady game, understood how to adapt flexibly in adverse situations, and gained insights and reflections through competing side by side...

Victory or defeat was never the final answer. The simplest happiness is hidden in the cooperation of united hearts and in the warmth of moving forward shoulder to shoulder...

What remains after the competitive heat fades is the warmth of walking side by side – the sense of belonging that NCMCers are together, forever vivid and fervent～

We will continue to carry the steady wisdom and united heart learned on this arena, move forward with passion, hand in hand, and advance with determination!
