Hey there, sports fans! 🎉 Guess what? The torch for the 2025 World Games in Chengdu, southwest China’s Sichuan Province, has just been revealed! And it’s called “Zhumeng”, which means “Bamboo Dream”. 🌿💭
This isn’t just any torch. Its design brings together ideas from Sichuan’s ancient Shu civilization. Through its special shape, colors, and patterns, it shows the spirit of the World Games and tells China’s amazing story. Plus, it matches perfectly with the event’s relay slogan: “Join the World Games, Ignite the Dream.” 🔥
Standing at 72 centimeters tall (that’s about the height of a 2-liter soda bottle stacked three times!), the torch is inspired by the Sanxingdui Bronze Standing Figure and includes bamboo segments. This mix represents China’s long-lasting history and the never-ending energy of sports! 🏃♂️🏃♀️
The torch is mainly green and silver. Green stands for the world’s natural base (think forests, fields, and all things nature! 🌳), and silver shows technology and progress. Together, they highlight China’s promise to care for the environment and keep moving forward with new ideas. It’s all about sharing a great future with everyone around the globe! 🌍🤝
Mark your calendars: From August 7th to 17th, 2025, Chengdu will be hosting the second edition of the World Games! 🗓️🏅 It’s going to be an exciting time filled with amazing sports and unforgettable moments.
So, are you ready to join the World Games and ignite your dream? Let’s go! 🚀✨
