Challenging Wednesdays: Dodgeball Madness

On Wednesday, Nov. 7, AUBG Olympics organized their traditional “Challenging Wednesday” in the ABF Sports Hall. This time it was the Dodgeball game, in which nine different teams participated. The event went under the slogan “Don’t get splashed!”

This semester AUBG Olympics will introduce new activities. On Nov. 24 there will be another Challenging Wednesday, but this time students will play basketball. The club will hold the Skill Challenge on Nov. 28 in the ABF Sports Hall. AUBG Olympics will organize Baseball workshop on Dec. 5.

Before the event started, the teams had a chance to warm up by throwing the ball into the basket and playing with a volleyball ball. Also, the club members distributed the leaflets with the number for the subsequent lottery.

“It is pretty interesting to watch,” noted Mariya Khomenko, a first-year student from Kazakhstan. “Different teams compete with each other. I am very excited about who is going to win.”
