In this tournament, the Suseong-gu and Dalseo-gu teams were strong, winning three events each. Suseong-gu won the gateball, soft tennis, and badminton events, while Dalseo-gu took the top spot in the national gymnastics and soccer events. In addition, Namgu won table tennis, Seogu won bowling, Dalseong-gun won Park Golf, and Donggu won tennis.
Park Young-gi, president of Daegu City Sports Association, said, “I am very pleased to hold the first sports for senior citizens since the spread of COVID-19.
