The stage is set for the 2025 World Games in Chengdu, and the delegation from the Chinese mainland has picked two supersonic athletes to carry its flag this Thursday night! 🔥
Leading the charge is 22-year-old acrobatic gymnastics star Shi Jingwei 🤸♂️. He and his squad nabbed gold at the 2024 Acrobatic Gymnastics World Championships—marking a return to the top podium after a 25-year wait.
Joining Shi is 34-year-old roller sports prodigy Guo Dan 🛼⛸️. This Beijing resident is the first from the Chinese mainland to snag titles at the World Championships, World Cup, and World Games in roller sports. She's also glided into the 2018 PyeongChang and 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics as a speed skater.
All eyes will be on the "Tianfu Eaves" urban gallery, where a record 321 Chinese mainland athletes will march together in a carnival-like celebration of sport and unity. 🎉
Keep your eyes peeled on your screens—this is one opening you won't want to miss! 📱🔥
