Three Shenzhou-18 astronauts aboard the China Space Station took their team spirit to new heights as they celebrated the Paris Summer Olympics and China's 16th National Fitness Day this Thursday. 🏅🚀
The festivities kicked off with a mock torch relay, a creative twist on the traditional Olympic ceremony, as shared in a video released by the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA). 🔥
Commander Ye Guangfu, clad in an extravehicular suit, handed an improvised torch to fellow astronaut Li Cong. Li Cong then floated over an obstacle, passing the torch to crewmate Li Guangsu. Demonstrating impressive agility in zero gravity, Li Guangsu performed an upright long jump before returning the torch to Commander Ye. Ye wrapped up the relay with a graceful back jump, completing the space-age celebration. 🌌✨
This unique celebration not only honors global athletic achievements but also highlights the camaraderie and teamwork of those aboard the CSS. Stay tuned for more updates from our intrepid space explorers!
