Cutting a long story short

Great Games

Over 12,000 athletes from across China, including 50 stars who topped the podium at the Tokyo Olympics, delivered world-class performances at the China's 14th National Games in September in Shaanxi province. In a testament to the quality of performances, 56 events improved on the results from the previous edition of the Games in 2017, and the results in 17 disciplines were better than Chinese athletes' corresponding results at the Tokyo Olympics. Despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, organizers still provided all participants with the best possible living and competition environments. In terms of transportation, a total of 2,881 shuttle buses and other designated vehicles made over half a million trips to ensure the smooth operation of the Games. In addition, over 1,300 medical workers from 95 hospitals were stationed at venues, training bases, hotels, media centers and athlete villages.
