High-tech products were showcased at an event celebrating the 100-day countdown to the opening of China's 15th National Games on Saturday in Shenzhen City, south China's Guangdong Province.
The 15th National Games of China will be jointly hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao from November 9 to 21. The 12th National Paralympic Games, along with the 9th National Special Olympics, will be held about two weeks after the 15th National Games.
During the celebration event, an exhibition showcasing a variety of the latest products, including innovations in sports technology, assistive smart robotics, and health and wellness equipment impressed many visitors.
"This product provides both cold and hot compress options for post-exercise recovery, along with a compression function. Right now, more than 100 sports teams, both in China and abroad, are using our product," said Sun Hongbo, an exhibitor.
An exoskeleton robot shown at the exhibition can help individuals with lower limb paralysis regain their ability to walk.
"The product combines technologies such as AI, robotics and biology. It features a brain-machine interface that allows us to control the exoskeleton robot using our thoughts," said Ma Huilin, another exhibitor.
At the event, visitors were also able to gain an understanding of the legacy of sportsmanship and the challenges involved in event preparation through a picture exhibition.

President of the Republic of Korea (ROK) Lee Jae Myung has expressed his hope that his upcoming visit to China will help eliminate past misunderstandings and issues, underscoring the importance of ties between the two countries.
At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, Lee will pay a state visit to China from Jan 4 to 7. It will be Lee's first visit to China since he took office.
In an interview with China Media Group (CMG) in Seoul on Wednesday, Lee acknowledged the existing misunderstandings and issues between the two countries, noting that addressing these issues is a key goal of his visit.
"The current international landscape is turbulent, with escalating issues among various countries. In this context, the relationship between the Republic of Korea and China holds significant importance for us. the ROK and China are deeply interconnected in many areas, including history, economy, geopolitics, politics and security. Northeast Asia's peace, stability, mutual respect, and common prosperity are crucial for both countries," said Lee.
"Admittedly, there have been some misunderstandings and issues between the ROK and China, which have hindered the development of bilateral relations to some extent. Therefore, the purpose of my upcoming visit to China is to minimize or eliminate these past issues, foster a leap in our bilateral relations to a new level, and solidify the ROK and China as partners that mutually support each other's development," he said.
