A delegation that will accept the handover of the Universiade games from Gwangju, South Korea to Taipei released a clip Thursday giving a taste of the performance that will accompany the handover ceremony.
Taipei will host the games, a sporting event featuring university student athletes from around the world, in 2017.
The performers include 47 dance and athletics students from the University of Taipei as well as award-winning Taiwanese aboriginal band MATZKA. The preview clip was released Thursday after 60 days of secret preparations.
The seven-minute performance will feature students on inline skates and bicycles and aims to showcase Taipei’s diversity. In addition to the performers, the Taiwanese delegation heading to South Korea includes Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je and Sports Administration Director-General Ho Jow-fei.
In light of the ongoing outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) which has spread to South Korea, delegation members will be required to track their body temperature twice a day during their stay in the country.
