On July 27, the 50-day countdown began to the opening of the 14th National
Games of China, which is the biggest national multi-sports event in China.
Xi'an, as the main venue of the Games, is making final preparations for the
smooth opening of the event.
The Xi'an Municipal Government announced at a recent press conference that 191
of the 214 key construction projects for the 14th National Games have been
completed, and the remaining projects are expected to be completed before
August 1. These projects include sports venues, upgrading of transportation
networks, and renovation of existing residential areas.
Hosting of a sports event brings opportunities for the development of a city.
Xi'an is a world-renowned thousand-year ancient capital city and also a new
"national central city" in China. Taking advantage of the 14th National Games,
the city is reinventing itself, achieving outstanding development and economic
growth.
The city is now characterized by modern sports venues, transportation networks,
green mountains and clean rivers, and mass sports activities...The whole city
has been set ablaze with excitement and joy for the great sporting event.
As the largest sports event held in China since the outbreak of COVID-19,
pandemic prevention and control is the key to the success of the 14th National
Games.
To ensure safety and orderly organization of the National Games, the organizers
would implement a closed-loop management system for the athletes, coaches and
correspondents, and adopt information technology-based measures for remote
pandemic control.
The Games will be open for spectators, who are required to undergo full
vaccination for COVID-19 at least 14 days ahead of the competition, and should
provide negative nucleic acid test certificates 72 hours before entering any
venues.
In addition, Xi'an's urban management, transportation, cultural and tourism
systems have been fully mobilized, sparing no effort to support the event.
Medical, volunteer and security teams are also in place to provide the best
support for the Games.
Overseas guests praised the preparations for China's 14th National Games in
Xi'an and the rapid development of the city here.
Christiane Ndong Ella, wife of Gabonese Ambassador Baudelaire Ndong Ella, told
Xinhua that the Xi'an government is leaving no stone unturned in its
preparations for the National Games.
"All the guests cannot wait to explore the splendid culture and see fabulous
developments of the city at the dawn of 14th National Games," she said.
Sport is one universal language shared by the globe, whose unique charm and
communication allow Xi'an to present its most profound deposits and youngest
facet. The time-honored city is running on the road connecting with the rest of
the world.
