第二十二屆智慧鐵人創意競賽決賽於今（28）日舉行開幕典禮，本次競賽共33支隊伍參與賽事。除了經過初複賽過關斬將的國內優秀隊伍之外，國際隊伍也來勢洶洶，欲爭奪競賽最終的最高榮譽。
The opening ceremony of the 22nd Intelligent Ironman Creativity Contest (IICC) Final was held today (July 28). A total of 33 teams are participating in this year’s competition. In addition to outstanding domestic teams that advanced through the preliminary and semi-final rounds, international teams have also joined the contest, all vying for the highest honor of the IICC.
本屆決賽晚宴有別於以往形式，國立屏東大學校長陳永森在今年特別準備南部特有傳統「辦桌」，表示將以最熱情、最獨特的文化風情迎接小鐵人們的到來，同時陳永森也勉勵參賽者們能夠在競賽中充分發揮實力、展現青春，並從中創造個人與團隊的巔峰。
This year’s final banquet took on a unique form compared to previous editions. President Robert Y.S. Chen of National Pingtung University specially arranged a traditional Southern Taiwanese “bando” feast, showcasing the region’s warm hospitality and cultural charm in welcoming the participants. President Chen also encouraged the contestants to fully demonstrate their strengths and youthful energy throughout the competition, and to use the experience to reach new heights both individually and as a team.
而小鐵人們進入決賽前的首要任務，即是演出佔最終成績4%的隊呼表演，創意無限的他們也透過隊呼創造屬於自己的隊伍故事。其中日本隊伍《Waseda》，以精美的手作道具及傳統服飾脫穎而出，奪得創意隊呼獎。
Before entering the final round, the participants first mission was to perform their team cheer, which accounts for 4% of the final score. With boundless creativity, the teams used the cheer to craft a story unique to their team identity. Among them, the team from Japan “Waseda” stood out with their beautifully handmade props and traditional costumes, earning them the Creative Team Cheer Award.
Japan’s team “WASEDA” gave a cheer performance themed around Demon Slayer, combining it with traditional Japanese attire and winning thunderous applause.
各小隊以精采的隊呼表演拉開決賽序曲，而小鐵人們也早已蓄勢待發，準備好挑戰接下來72小時不間斷的重重關卡。期盼小鐵人們能夠在決賽中盡情揮灑創意、發揮各自所長，突破自我，超越極限！（記者黃子宜、楊采璇／屏東採訪報導）
