The "My Domain, My Choice" 3rd Wanwang Cup RB Urban Race took place at 8:30 AM on September 23, 2012, at the roller skating rink of the University of International Business and Economics. The event drew 129 college roller skating enthusiasts from 28 universities nationwide, all showing strong interest and dedication to the competition.
Wanwang (www.net.cn), a pioneer in China's domain name registration services, introduced this year the globally popular Chinese national top-level domain product—personal name domains, allowing users to register .cn domains using their full Chinese name pinyin. By sponsoring this event, Wanwang aims to help the younger generation create personal spaces to showcase themselves and build websites, as their demand for creating personal value grows increasingly stronger. Personal name domains have become a personalized choice for college students, ultimately achieving a harmonious match among domains, websites, and individuals. Therefore, the impact of personal name domains on individuals will continue to deepen, also creating excellent opportunities for personal branding. In an interview, Mr. Dong from Wanwang mentioned that they have sponsored this event for two consecutive years because it is highly meaningful and has no venue restrictions. Now that the RB brand has brought these better-equipped products to China, it provides the best promotion for this sport. With college students enjoying favorable conditions today, we as enterprises should create even better opportunities for them. Wanwang is a leader in the domain name field in China, and RB is also a flagship brand in roller skating. The strong collaboration between the two will result in a win-win outcome.
A total of 130 students from 28 universities across the country successfully registered and participated in this competition. After intense preliminary rounds where four participants competed in each group, eight male and eight female contestants advanced to the final one-on-one knockout stage with increased difficulty. After three rounds of knockout matches, Cui Xiaoxu (No. 116) from Minzu University of China won the men's first place, while Wang Xinyu (No. 39) from Tsinghua University claimed the women's first place. Additionally, Minzu University of China and Beijing International Studies University secured the top team honors in the men's and women's categories, respectively.
Rollerblade (abbreviated as RB), a world-renowned roller skating brand with 31 years of global presence, successfully launched its first event in China in September 2010. This marks the third consecutive year the event has been held, with the number of participants breaking records each time. As a leader in inline skating, Rollerblade (RB) has been committed to promoting and popularizing roller skating in China, especially among college students, encouraging them to engage more in outdoor skating and experience the thrill of speed and excitement. Witnessing the enthusiasm shown by college students in this competition, we are confident about hosting the next edition of the event.
