STORYLINE:
 
Here in the Olympic Fencing Center in the northern Israeli city of Akko, Israeli fencers are preparing for the Chengdu Universiade.
 
The 31st Summer World University Games will be held from July 28 to August 8 after being postponed twice due to COVID-19.
 
The Israeli delegation comprises a long jumper and his coach, as well as a five-member fencing team.
 
SOUNDBITE 1 (English): HATUEL-CZUCKERMANN, Former Israeli fencer
"I will be the trainer for the fencers, four men and one woman that will participate in the Chengdu Universiade. I've never been to China. For me, it's the first time and I'm really excited."
 
SOUNDBITE 2 (English): NIRAN CZUCKERMANN, Israeli fencer
"I'm very much looking forward to this competition, because it's in a very different location from my past competitions and I've heard so much about Asia, specifically China, I'm very eager and excited to go there and to meet new people from all around the world."
 
SOUNDBITE 3 (English): MAOR HATUEL, Manager of the Olympic Fencing Center in Akko
"I'm one of the coaches of Niran, who is going to compete in the World University Games in China and actually, I have been to China for so many times. I really love the people, I love the food. And I wish that we could even have a medal here in Akko from the World University Games in China."
 
Over the years, Israeli athletes have achieved a total of 17 medals in the Universiade games, including two in the fencing discipline.
 
Southwest China's Chengdu is fully prepared to host about 11,000 athletes from around the world, who will participate in 18 sports. The city has recruited around 20,000 volunteers for the Games.
