It was 3 o'clock when the participating athletes were grouped to begin the celebration. First they made a rehearsal before they performed in front of the audience. When they entered the closed playground they moved around the audience and then stood in organized queues. In front of every queue stood a volunteer holding a sign telling each club and school name. Mister Ahmed Al-Hariri announced the beginning of the celebration. It was H.B.S turn and the first show was a test for the strength of the participating athletes by breaking pieces of wood. The second show was a Folklore dance where the girls danced on ''Ya Seif '' song.

Then Mister Hadi Hammoud and Mister Haysam Al Zarif performed a solo karate show. After that came several shows for Saida's schools and clubs ''Al Maani Club, Eman High School, N.E.I.G.B school and others.'' This sport event ended around 6 pm. One of the participants “Mohamed Elani” told us about his feelings about participating in this celebration which commemorates the memory of Rafic Al-Hariri assassination saying, “I felt like I am paying back Rafic Al- Hariri for all the wonderful things, and I am proud because I participated in this celebration for I appreciate his sacrifices.” He added that he would surely participate in this celebration the next year because it’s his duty to present a good image about the youth which Rafic Al-Hariri helped and because he is representing H.B.S and his city Saida.

At the end, the winners were appraised and rewarded.
