Picture this: crackling bonfires, traditional dances, and the buzz of excitement at the Yi ethnic group's Torch Festival. 🌌 This week, digital creator Lucy turned the celebration into a global poll, asking residents one burning question: 'Which Paris 2024 Olympic sport has your heart?'
Spoiler alert: Basketball slammed its way to the top! 🏀 Fans praised its 'electric energy' and 'nail-biting moments,' with one local teen calling it 'the ultimate crossover of art and athleticism.'
But here's the twist – volleyball and breakdancing (making its Olympic debut!) tied for second place. 💃 'It’s not just sports – it’s culture in motion,' said a festival-goer rocking handmade Yi embroidery.
Lucy’s footage also captured stunning Yi fire rituals 🔥 that mirror the Olympic torch tradition, reminding viewers how ancient customs fuel modern passions. 'Sports speak every language,' said Kenyan marathon hopeful Eliud Keitany in a cameo clip. 'Paris 2024 will be our shared story.'
