Tech and sports unite at National Games

The 15th National Games, set to commence in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, on Sunday, will span multiple cities across Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao. This prestigious national sports event not only serves as a platform for athletic competition but also highlights the integration of technological innovation. Guangzhou, the host city, is showcasing advanced technologies such as deep-sea flame collection systems, AI-driven facilities, hexapod robots, self-driving cars, and AI translators, all designed to enhance the experience for participants and spectators alike, particularly those with disabilities. The Games aim to demonstrate how cutting-edge technology can improve daily life and foster inclusivity. As China Daily’s foreign expert Elliot Maldonado observes, Guangzhou is transforming these innovations into tangible benefits for its residents, making the event a unique blend of sports and technology.
