\"We must carry forward the Olympic spirit to promote peace, development, and mutual learning among civilizations.\"
His words echo China’s growing influence in global sports, from hosting the 2022 Winter Olympics to backing initiatives like the UN’s International Day of Sport.
Youth in the Spotlight

\"inspire younger generations to embrace challenges and teamwork\"
feels like a rallying cry. Think of it as the Olympics’ version of a squad goal. 👯♀️ With Paris set to spotlight parkour and skateboarding, the youth-first vibe is unmistakable.
As the torch relay begins, Xi’s vision of the Olympics as a \"catalyst for a better world\" aligns with Gen Z’s passion for inclusivity and innovation. Let the games begin—and the memes roll in! 🎉📲
