签约仪式现场，双方代表进行签字。After the speech, the signing was successfuly completed.

常春藤盟校在内的众多世界顶尖名校非常青睐有体育特长的申请者，许多奥运健儿因出身名校引起大家高度关注，比如：普林斯顿大学的周嘉鹰、斯坦福大学的谷爱凌，耶鲁大学的陈巍等。根据2024届哈佛大学新生数据，10.6%的新生都是体育特长生，51.4%的新生都参加过体育运动活动和比赛。常春藤名校每年特招的体育生一般都占新生录取的10%以上，美国各大学还会为体育特长生预留录取名额，数量一般为当年录取总人数的10%-20%。因此拥有体育特长，在报考美国大学的时候特别有优势。因为，一个学生愿意用十几年的时间专注于做一件事，并把它做到极致，这种坚持的耐力和优秀的品质就是藤校所看重的部分。

Many of the world's top schools, including the Ivy League schools, favor applicants with sports expertise. Many Olympic athletes have attracted significant attention due to their origins in prestigious schools, such as Zhou Jiaying from Princeton University, Gu Ailing from Stanford University, and Chen Wei from Yale University. According to the 2024 Harvard University freshman data, 10.6% of the freshmen are sports talents, and 51.4% of the first-year students have participated in sports activities and competitions. The student-athletes that prestigious Ivy League schools recruit generally account for more than 10% of first-year admissions yearly. Universities in the United States will also reserve admission quotas for special sports students, usually 10%-20% of the total number of entries that year. Therefore, having sports expertise is particularly advantageous when applying to American universities because a student is willing to focus on one thing for more than ten years and make it the best. This kind of perseverance and excellent quality is what Ivy League schools value.

根据美国院校申请考察的软实力背景要素，竞技体育带来的竞争本能、团队合作、抗挫能力和领导才能，可以使体育特长生们在申请时大大提升自己的竞争力。因为，美国大学通常将竞技体育作为选拔和培养精英的基础，他们对未来人才发展最重要的要求就是坚毅的品格和强大的领导力。

American universities look for competitive instinct, teamwork, endurance, and leadership. All these qualities can be found in competitive sports. It can also greatly enhance the competitive spirit. American universities usually use competitive sports as the basis for selecting and cultivating elites, and their most essential requirements for future talent development are perseverance and strong leadership.

As the signing ceremony drew to a close, representatives of both parties and guests held champagne in their hands to celebrate the successful conclusion of the event. Adhering to the spirit of sports without borders, everyone expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming Schoolympics held by Ivy Events.

With the successful conclusion of the signing and authorization ceremony, and under the witness of many workers who love sports and education, as well as the leaders and experts who came to the scene to guide, many parties will join hands with Ivy Events to open the international youth sports event in the Asia-Pacific region. It is a new chapter of the event, and it will build a strong foundation and provide strong support for the international sports career of children in China to enter the international arena!
