With just 100 days until the Paris Olympics kick off , Chinese State Councilor Shen Yiqin has rallied athletes and coaches to double down on training while upholding fair play. During a visit to Beijing’s fencing and shooting training bases this week, Shen emphasized the need for ‘relentless effort, skill mastery, and unshakeable team spirit’ as the clock ticks down to the Games.
Highlighting the stakes, she called on competitors to embrace their roles as global ambassadors for China, blending grit with integrity.
‘Train hard, compete clean, and honor the spirit of sportsmanship,’ she urged, stressing zero tolerance for doping violations.
The message? Winning matters, but how you win matters more. As athletes fine-tune their strategies, China’s focus remains on ethical excellence—a theme resonating globally as teams worldwide prep for the July 26 opening ceremony.
Will this balance of ambition and ethics pay off? Let the Games decide!
