The first cross-regional sports meet exclusively for nurses in the Yangtze River Delta took place in Shanghai’s Jing’an District from May 8 to 9, 2026. Titled “Caring for Angels, Energizing Health,” the second “Neuleaf Cup” Yangtze River Delta Nurses’ Sports Meet expanded its participation from Shanghai to the entire core area of the delta, attracting nearly 60 hospital teams and 360 nurses.
To raise awareness of International Nurses Day and highlight the vitality of nursing professionals, the event broke away from a single-day format. On the first day, a “City Flash Challenge” was held at Jing’an’s cultural and tourism landmarks, with a large event vehicle bringing interactive tasks such as Switch motion games and message-recording blessings into the streets, showcasing the energy of nurses beyond hospital walls.
The second day featured a fun sports meet at the Jing’an Sports Center’s indoor court. Staying true to the first edition, the competition emphasized precision, endurance, and speed—key qualities of nursing. New activities like laser shooting, land rowing, baseball, curling, fencing, and darts were introduced, all guided by professional coaches. The land rowing event realistically simulated the Suzhou Creek course.
