Chengdu World Games Bids Farewell
The 2025 Chengdu World Games wrapped up at the International Friendship Pavilion on Sunday night, leaving us with epic moments and record-breaking vibes. 🎉
Wushu masters and dragon boat crews, you're not going anywhere! The International World Games Association (IWGA) President Jose Perurena confirmed that both sports will stay in the official lineup for future editions. That means more high-flying kicks and heart-pounding paddles to look forward to! 🥋🐉🚣♂️
Here's the lowdown:
- 233 gold medals awarded across 81 countries and regions 🌍
- 18 world records shattered 🔥
- Over 220,000 tickets sold—gymnastics, Muay Thai, and wushu sold out in no time! 🎟️💥
Xu Xingguo, Executive Vice President and Secretary-General of the Chengdu Games Executive Committee, said the city is pumped to keep proving itself as a global hotspot for top-tier sports.
Plus, shoutout to Alison Hoeft and Sydney Martin from the USA cheer squad—they called Chengdu's vibes next level, praising both fierce competitions and warm local love. 🇺🇸💖
Now, as the lights dim in Chengdu, the torch is passed to Karlsruhe, Germany—get ready for the 13th World Games in 2029! 🇩🇪
Stay tuned for more updates on your favorite sports and how they're shaping the global stage. Until next time, keep chasing those records! 🚀
