A Moment of Collaboration Within the Eurocampus

This year’s meet also carried a quiet but meaningful significance for the Eurocampus community. It was a valuable opportunity where students from the two schools within the Eurocampus German European School Manila and Lycée Français de Manille came together once again in a shared sporting environment. After some time with fewer joint sports collaborations, this meet offered a positive step in strengthening connections through shared effort, teamwork, and healthy competition.

The BSM Ultra Meet 2026 concluded with a strong sense of pride and accomplishment. With 29 medals earned and countless personal improvements achieved, the swimmers demonstrated resilience, dedication, and sportsmanship throughout the competition.

More importantly, the event served as a reminder that beyond rankings and medals, sport continues to be a powerful bridge bringing students together, encouraging collaboration, and strengthening the spirit of the Eurocampus community.
