Dewa Athena

Dewa Athena or in English Goddess Athens is a Goddess known for its wisdom and calm temperament. Though calm, she is a also a warmonger and is a Goddess of war. She is known as Minerva by the Romans.

Because of her influential name, Dewa Athena was picked as a name for a our sport event in SMAN 3 Bandung. This name was hoped to give the participating students the personalities of the Goddess during the competition.

The competition was held open for all students, only the grade’s of each are separated. The 10^th grade Dewa Athena has been held on 25^th of April and 1^st of May and the next will be held on 8^th of May. The games that are held within are as follows

·         Male/Female Basketball

·         Male Indoor Football

·         Female Indoor Football

·         Male/Female Double Badminton

·         Male/Female Dodge ball

·         Male/Female Tug-of-War

·         Male/Female 200m Relay

·         Male/Female Gobak Sodor

Even if it’s open for all, ALL class must participate for there are attendance list. Also if there any class that decided to “walk out” in a game, they will be forced to pay a fine of Rp.100.000, which is not worth it.

The first day of game, 25^th of April, was the elimination round. For me, it was the saddest day of the event. There were many disappointed face, a face that knows that they won’t go to any further stages. Nonetheless it was still a great day.

The second day, 1^st of May, it was a bit happier than the previous, but the class participating became much less. There weren’t many supporters hanging around near the court. But it was much happier than before for we can see people enjoying themselves reaching the finals.

The 3^rd day hasn’t been held but I believe it would be the best part of the event.

I personally can’t wait for the last part of the event.
