More Than Medals

'Your victories aren't just about sports – they showcase China's progress in building an inclusive society,' Premier Li told the athletes at the iconic Great Hall of the People. The leader highlighted how their ‘willpower and spirit’ outshone physical challenges, inspiring 1.4 billion people.
