On the afternoon of August 6, Beijing time, during the Paris Olympics, the Paris commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the International Sports Journalists Association (AIPS) was held at the UNESCO Paris headquarters. At the event, the newly born Chengdu World Games mascot made its debut on the international stage. At the same time, the "Chengdu World Games Young Journalists Program" was officially launched.
At the Paris commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of AIPS, several heads of international single-sport federations, legendary Olympic athletes and more than 200 senior sports journalists from around the world attended. Just a few hours before the start of this event, the Chengdu World Games mascots were officially unveiled in Beijing. The cute giant panda "Shubao" and the golden monkey "Jinzai" landed in the Olympic city of Paris and made their first appearance on the international stage.
When "Shubao" and "Jinzi" appeared on the big screen, they immediately became the focus of attention. Chairman Melo took the stage to reveal the answer, "The giant panda is the animal that best represents Chengdu, while the Sichuan golden monkey is full of infinite vitality and vigor. The Chengdu World Games mascots are intended to call on everyone to care for rare animals and pay attention to biodiversity protection, which is consistent with the World Games' emphasis on environmental protection and sustainability."
The event site set up a "Shubao" and "Jinzi" check-in device, attracting guests to take photos with them. French Minister of Sports, Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Amelie Oudea-Castellas learned the Chinese pronunciation of "Shubao" and "Jinzi" and said: "They are so beautiful! I sincerely wish the Chengdu World Games a success." Nicole David is a legendary squash player from Malaysia, known as the "best athlete in the history of the World Games". She loves "Shubao" and "Jinzi" and said: "They are so cute. I believe that many athletes will do their best to get them in the Chengdu World Games next year."
After introducing the mascot of the Chengdu World Games, President Melo also announced the official launch of the "Chengdu World Games Young Journalists Program", which is the first "Young Journalists Program" in the history of the World Games. Zsusanna Csicitu, Vice Chairman of AIPS and host of the Hungarian National Sports Channel, introduced that the "Chengdu World Games Young Journalists Program" will select 24 young journalists from five continents to come to Chengdu to participate in the reporting during the Chengdu World Games next year, providing young journalists around the world with a practical opportunity to participate in the interview and reporting of international events throughout the whole process, and take this opportunity to deepen the friendship between young people from all countries and deepen their understanding and respect for each other.
Sports is a bridge for mutual learning and people-to-people exchanges among countries around the world. Since building a world-famous sports city, Chengdu has continuously increased its opening-up efforts and strengthened international exchanges and cooperation, using sports events as a medium and the city as a window. It has successfully hosted a series of high-level international sports events such as the Universiade, the World Table Tennis Championships, the ITTF Mixed Team World Cup, and the Thomas and Uber Cup. It ranks 8th in the list of "Global Sports Capitals", showing the picture of Chengdu with a myriad of Chinese-style modernization.
