Ahead of the action, CGTN's documentary Beyond Boundaries (September 22, 13:30 BJT) offers a backstage pass to the human stories behind the medals. Through jaw-dropping visuals and heartfelt interviews, the film highlights how athletes like Indonesian skateboarder Nyimas Bunga and Chinese swim star Wang Shun push physical and mental limits. Spoiler: There’s more to their journeys than podium finishes.
The documentary’s focus on teamwork and breaking barriers mirrors the Games’ mission to unite Asia through sport. Whether it’s a Paralympic archer defying expectations or a volleyball team overcoming language barriers, Beyond Boundaries reminds us: sports aren’t just about winning—they’re about rewriting what’s possible. 💪
