The organizers of the Chengdu Universiade have followed a principle of presenting a streamlined, safe, and splendid Games, which is demonstrated throughout the whole preparation process. While focusing on the Universiade's preparation, we have strengthened national fitness campaigns through various activities. We have launched an action to "Meet the Most Beautiful Sport," introduced several themed routes for outdoor recreational sports, created 100 sports consumption demonstration scenarios, and provided free or low-price tickets and 10,000 sports coupons for the public's benefit. By doing so, we have encouraged citizens to visit urban parks and the Tianfu Greenway, inspired their enthusiasm for national fitness campaigns, and fostered an atmosphere of leisure and sports in the city. When the Universiade come to Chengdu, its sport spirit will integrate into the city's Tianfu culture, which features amiability, optimism, openness, and inclusiveness, and together they will forge the city's spirit of greater strength and resilience. Thank you.
