On July 29, the US Southern California Chinese American Youth Water Polo Team and Guangzhou Youth Water Polo Team met for a friendship match at the Guangdong Olympic Sports Center. It was a close and exciting game. The team from Southern California won by just one point, 13 to 12.
But the day was about more than just the score. With around 100 days to go until China's 15th National Games, the match brought young athletes from these sister cities together through sport. It was a chance to build friendships, share experiences, and celebrate what connects us.
"We came to compete, but we're leaving with new friends," said Enzo Bryden, a player from the U.S. team. It is the first time for Coach Adam Hewko to visit China. "I think it's so important, especially for the kids, to come here and realize that the world is a big place. We have to get along with everyone. It's such a great opportunity to experience a wonderful culture and make new friends in a beautiful, first-class city," said Adam.
The event is part of a broader people-to-people exchange between Guangzhou and Los Angeles, a friendship that goes back over 40 years, now renewed through a new generation.
