【相约大湾区 燃动十五运】全景看全运：十五运 新意足

Core Viewpoint - The 15th National Games is characterized by significant innovations, including joint hosting by Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau, the introduction of cross-border events, and a focus on sustainability and cultural integration [1][4][9]. Group 1: Hosting Model Innovation - The event is jointly hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau, marking a historical innovation in the National Games' hosting practices and exemplifying the "One Country, Two Systems" principle in sports [4]. Group 2: Cross-Border Event Innovation - The introduction of cross-border events allows athletes to experience seamless passage through the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge during competitions, utilizing technologies like facial recognition for a "no-stop" crossing experience [5]. Group 3: Reform and Inclusivity - The Games continue previous reforms by not disclosing medal counts, thereby reducing the emphasis on "gold medalism," and expanding participation opportunities across all age groups with 23 major events and 166 minor events [8]. Group 4: Sustainability in Hosting - For the first time, the Games will not involve the construction of new large venues, with over 90% of competition venues being upgraded from existing facilities, significantly lowering hosting costs. The estimated green electricity usage will exceed 188 million kilowatt-hours, reducing carbon emissions by approximately 160,000 tons [9]. Group 5: Cultural Integration - The torch relay and medal design reflect the cultural symbols of the three regions, and traditional activities like dragon and lion dances are included in the competition, enhancing the cultural representation of the Greater Bay Area [12].
