24 february 2009. mini olympics 2009 was an event organised by our own NTU Muslim Society with the objectives of creating a closer bond among the muslims in NTU through sports. the event was held at our own Sports & Recreational Centre.
in support of the event, our own NTU Silat Club sent a team to represent our club in the event. named The Boyzzz, our team comprises of Ardi, Haffiz, Shahid, Firdaus and Ahmad. Each team was required to compete in 2 events. futsal and handball.
first tournament was the futsal game. qualified as winners of our group stage. and we went all the way to the finals. and we won by a single goal in the finals, courtesy of Ahmad’s quick feet.
second tournament was the handball game. and yet again we qualified to the knock-out stages as winners of our group and again…. we won the finals. against the same team that we met in the futsal tournament. NTU Silat emerged as champions for both tournaments!
after our lunch and dzuhur break, it was the closing ceremony. and we received participation certificates and…. MEDALS! Like true olympians! Wow…

the gold medal.

muslimin champions.
despite the surprising fact that we haven’t played with each other prior to this event before, we still give our best effort and worked together as a team. the victory was certainly a great morale boost for our club with the upcoming tertiary silat championship getting closer. may we continue on this momentum of victory to the upcoming championships! kudos to our close bonds as a unified team.
