The Chengdu Universiade just scored a major win! 🎉 The International Sports Press Association (AIPS) crowned it with the Best Media Facilities for Multi-Sport Events in 2023, beating out global competitors. Journalists praised everything from high-tech press centers to seamless translation services—think VIP treatment for reporters! 🚀
With 1,887 entries from 140 countries and regions, this year's AIPS Awards broke participation records. Budapest's World Athletics Championships snagged the single-sport media award, but Chengdu's blend of efficient transport, real-time updates, and cozy accommodations stole the spotlight. 🌟
🏟️ AIPS President Gianni Merlo called the awards a 'game-changer' for journalism, highlighting how they inspire excellence in tough times. From investigative reporting to young talent shoutouts, 33 winners proved storytelling is alive and kicking. 📸
Got FOMO yet? Chengdu's success isn't just about sports—it's a blueprint for how mega-events can keep the media (and the world) hooked! 💡
