The competition consisted of three challenging sections: a three-minute prepared speech, a Chinese language and culture quiz, and a talent show. Noah and Safia impressed the judges with their outstanding performances, achieving near-perfect scores across all three parts, outperforming contestants from other universities.
As the first place winner, Noah will go on to represent Sweden in the global "Chinese Bridge" final in China this summer, while Safia, as the second place winner, will have the opportunity to visit China as part of the competition’s observation delegation.
We are incredibly proud of their hard work and dedication, and we wish them continued success on their Chinese learning journeys!
