The 19th Asian Games wrapped up in Hangzhou this Sunday, leaving a legacy as the largest and most technologically advanced edition in the event’s history. From AI-powered venues to carbon-neutral pledges, the Games blended sustainability with next-level spectacle 🏟️⚡.
A Greener Playbook
Over 100 eco-friendly measures were deployed, including “liquid sunlight” LED screens powered by renewable energy and recycled rainwater systems. Athletes even slept on bed frames made from rice husks – talk about farm-to-furniture goals 🌾!
Tech That Wowed
5G-connected robots delivered snacks, holographic mascots high-fived crowds, and a cloud-based broadcasting system slashed energy use by 80%. Olympic Council of Asia’s Vinod Kumar Tiwari called it “a blueprint for future global events” 💡🌍.
As Wei Jizhong, Honorary Life Vice President, put it: “This wasn’t just about medals – it was about showing Asia’s youth how sport can drive progress.” 👏🏅
