A fantastic traditional performance ignited spectators' interest in the 8th National Games on Saturday when some 15,000 sports fans gathered at the Champassak stadium for the official opening ceremony.

The ceremony began with performances of traditional songs by various artists, then continued with a parade of the more than 6,000 athletes taking part in the games.

Attending the ceremony were former President Khamtay Siphandone, Prime Minister Bouasone Bouphavanh, Champassak provincial Governor Sonesay Siphandone, deputy prime ministers and ministers, and government officials from various departments.
 

Prime Minister Bouasone Bouphavanh said in his opening address the 8th National Games was an important sporting event, not only for host Champassak province, but because the event was the forerunner of the 25th Southeast Asian Games to be hosted by Laos next year.

“We should make these games an important step in preparing the spirits and abilities of athletes, referees and all officials who will serve at the event. I believe this competition will be a good experience in our preparations to host the SEA Games next year,” he said.

The ceremony began at 2pm as government officials, business representatives and the public thronged the stadium. Songs sung in traditional style praised Champassak province for its special features, including its tourist attractions and natural resources.

The songs were followed by a performance by paratroopers from the Ministry of Defence before the athletes moved into the stadium.

The performance was enthusiastically received by the crowd, who cheered loudly. So many people turned up for the occasion they could not all fit inside the stadium and many had to stand outside.

After speeches by the Prime Minister and Champassak governor, it was show time for the Ministry of Information and Culture, whose more than 4,000 performers staged a stunning spectacle of traditional songs and dances that symbolised Champassak province and celebrated the games.

The ceremony came to an end about 8pm, with traffic filling the streets until provincial police cleared the congestion.

Governor Sonesay said the games would run from December 13 to 22, with 6,918 athletes from 17 provinces, 10 ministries and two organisations taking part.

They will compete in 24 sports: sepak takraw, badminton, table tennis, boxing, karatedo, judo, golf, football, basketball, volleyball, muay Lao, traditional boat racing, swimming, snooker, taekwondo, track-and-field, crossbow, bowling, shooting, tennis, petanque, cycling, top spinning, and pencak silat.

“This event is the top sporting competition in Laos . The games are held to promote health and friendship among people as part of our efforts to encourage unity in protecting and developing our country,” Governor Sonesay said.

He said this was the eighth National Games Laos had organised. The games had been successful in creating happiness, health, friendship and solidarity among local people, in line with Party and government guidelines.

“To prepare for these games, local officials worked with the people of Champassak province to prepare the athletes. We all shared our ideas, abilities and all our resources to organise this event,” the governor said.

The 7 th National Games, hosted by Savannakhet province, included 3,251 athletes representing 31 teams from 17 provinces, 11 ministries and three organisations, who competed in 22 sports.

A total of 573 medals were awarded, including 159 gold, 171 silver and 243 bronze medals. Athletes from Vientiane won most of the medals, with Savannakhet province coming in second and Borikhamxay province third.
