Shenzhen, a core host city for the Chinese mainland’s 15th National Games, 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and 9th National Special Olympic Games, has been turning up the tech dial in every arena. From last weekend’s marathon to goalball courts, technology is powering events and city life alike. 🚀
On December 7, 30,000 runners kicked off the Shenzhen Marathon at the Civic Center, tackling 42.195 kilometers with seamless cross-border action. The Shenzhen-Hong Kong marathon utilized a triple verification system—facial recognition plus wristband positioning—to create zero-delay clearance. Talk about smooth moves! 🏃♀️🏃♂️
Photographers strapped on 5G-A live-streaming backpacks, delivering ultra-HD footage straight to your screens. Intelligent scheduling systems kept networks stable at key venues, showing how tech can make operations run like a dream.
All Shenzhen division venues now run on 100% green electricity—wind and solar power lighting up the tracks and courts. It’s a real-life energy revolution, with carbon reduction rolling in. 🌱⚡️
On the goalball field, a red-hued, six-legged robot is guiding athletes with visual impairment. With visual environment perception, it navigates, avoids obstacles and even recognizes traffic lights to offer on-point directions. Talk about a robo-coach! 🤖👓
Throughout 2025, Shenzhen has hosted pro league matchups—from the Chinese Super League to CBA games—alongside top-tier national competitions. With over 300 sports activities scheduled this year, the city averages a high-level competition nearly every three days.
Sports is more than games here; it’s a tech-fueled showcase that’s driving Shenzhen’s vitality. This year, the city’s sports industry is set to hit a total output of 230 billion yuan, with added value topping 100 billion yuan. Whether you’re a techie, an investor or just a sports fan, Shenzhen is serving up innovation at every turn. 🌟
