Get ready for a night of glitz and glory in Chengdu! On Thursday, China will proudly have two star athletes leading the parade at the 2025 World Games opening ceremony 🎉.
Flagbearers:
- Shi Jingwei (22): A men's acrobatics phenom whose gold-medal win at the 2024 Acrobatic Gymnastics World Championships snapped China's 25-year drought 🥇.
- Guo Dan (34): A roller sports champion on wheels and blades. She's the first Chinese skater to grab titles at the World Championships, World Cup, and World Games—and even raced at the 2018 and 2022 Winter Olympics ❄️🛼.
The opening ceremony will light up the Tianfu Eaves urban gallery, where a record-setting 321 members of the Chinese delegation will dazzle the crowd. It's a moment to celebrate talent, teamwork, and the spirit of competition 🌟.
Stay tuned for more updates as the 12th edition of the World Games officially kicks off in style!
