Hong Kong pedal ace Ceci Lee Sze-wing's successful title defense in the women's road cycling individual event during the ongoing 15th National Games has once again turned the spotlight on the city's cycling team, which is known for its stellar show in premier tournaments.在正在进行的第十五届全运会上，中国香港自行车名将李思颖成功卫冕女子公路自行车个人赛冠军。这一成绩再次让以顶尖赛事出色表现闻名的中国香港自行车队成为焦点。Lee's gold is the second for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region so far in this year's games, and she is also the third athlete from the SAR to triumph more than once at the National Games after Asian cycling legend Wong Kam-po and Olympian Sarah Lee Wai-sze.李思颖的这枚金牌是中国香港特别行政区在本届全运会上斩获的第二枚金牌。她也成为继亚洲自行车传奇人物黄金宝、奥运冠军李慧诗之后，第三位在全运会上多次夺冠的香港特区运动员。While hard work and discipline form the mainstay of Hong Kong cycling team's medal-winning performances, the application of cutting-edge sports technologies developed through the joint efforts of the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong has been a significant contributor to its success.香港自行车队的奖牌成就固然以刻苦训练和严格自律为核心，但内地与香港联合研发的尖端体育科技应用，同样是其成功的重要助力。A central research facility at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, which specializes in developing high-tech aerodynamic and acoustic surroundings, boasts a low-noise wind tunnel that can simulate a cycling race environment.香港科技大学的一处核心研究设施专注于研发高科技气动与声学环境，其中拥有一座低噪音风洞，可模拟自行车比赛场景。This facility, when further empowered by the nation's Tianhe 2 supercomputer in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, can not only improve cyclists' riding postures, but also assist in the development of the most suitable bike design and cycling bodysuit for them.该设施借助广东省广州市的国家“天河二号”超级计算机进一步赋能，不仅能优化运动员的骑行姿态，还能协助研发最适配他们的自行车设计与骑行服。Zhang Xin, director of the university's Aerodynamics and Acoustics Facility, highlighted the importance of using a supercomputer to develop sports technologies. As human muscle tissues and physical conditions constantly change, the computation process is complex and requires the use of a supercomputer, he said.香港科技大学气动与声学实验室主任张欣（音译）强调了利用超级计算机研发体育科技的重要性。他表示，人体肌肉组织和身体状态不断变化，计算过程复杂，必须借助超级计算机完成。Athletes of the Hong Kong cycling team have worn aero-speed suits developed and tested in the wind tunnel to compete at various major sports events, including the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. These bodysuits, tailor-made for each athlete, are estimated to reduce wind drag by an impressive 3 percent.香港自行车队运动员已身着经风洞研发测试的气动速干服，参与了包括2020年东京奥运会、2022年杭州亚运会在内的多项重大体育赛事。这些为每位运动员量身定制的服装，预计可显著降低3%的风阻。Other sports disciplines, such as windsurfing and triathlon, have also employed simulations developed using the supercomputer and the wind tunnel to optimize the postures and movements of athletes.帆板、铁人三项等其他体育项目也运用了超级计算机和风洞研发的模拟技术，优化运动员的动作姿态。During training sessions in Stanley on Hong Kong Island, sensors developed by the university recorded athletes' physical data, which was subsequently analyzed using the supercomputer.在香港岛赤柱的训练期间，该校研发的传感器记录下运动员的身体数据，随后通过超级计算机进行分析。According to Zhang, the Tianhe 2 simulated the wind conditions at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and provided the information to head coaches of the windsurfing and sailing teams. The supercomputer helped to enhance athletes' posture optimization, as well as design and select equipment, he said.张欣透露，“天河二号”曾模拟2024年巴黎奥运会的风力条件，并将相关数据提供给帆板队和帆船队主教练。超级计算机为运动员的姿态优化、装备设计与选型提供了有力支持。Sports technology cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong has deepened in recent years, with more agreements signed for further development, serving both professional athletes and the public.近年来，内地与香港的体育科技合作不断深化，签署了更多合作协议推动后续发展，惠及专业运动员与普通民众。In September, Hong Kong Polytechnic University and mainland sportswear brand Li-Ning signed a memorandum of understanding to establish the Li-Ning-PolyU Joint Research Centre for Sports Science, which aims to enhance technological application and promote industrial transformation in the sports and health sectors.9月，香港理工大学与内地运动服装品牌李宁签署合作备忘录，成立“李宁-理大体育科学联合研究中心”，旨在加强体育健康领域的技术应用与产业转型。In Guangzhou, the Nansha Sub-Center of National Supercomputer Center provides the mainland's first supercomputer direct network line for Hong Kong. A dedicated high-speed fiber-optic network from the Tianhe 2 supercomputer is used to link Guangdong and Hong Kong's scientific innovation capabilities, enabling Hong Kong users to swiftly utilize the nation's supercomputing resources. The center has continuously provided support for technological innovation in Hong Kong and Macao.在广州，国家超级计算中心南沙分中心为香港开通了内地首条超级计算机直连网络专线。依托“天河二号”的专用高速光纤网络，链接粤港两地科创力量，让香港用户可快速调用国家超级计算资源。该中心持续为港澳地区的技术创新提供支持。For athletes from Macao and Hong Kong, traveling to the mainland for training and using sports technologies to improve their skills have become common.对于港澳运动员而言，赴内地训练并运用体育科技提升竞技水平已成为常态。Macao athlete Chan Man-hin, who participated in the National Games sailing event last month, said he was equipped with a high-end GPS tracker when he trained on the mainland. The device collected his performance data, including instantaneous speed and direction during sailing, for further analysis to help improve performance, he said.澳门运动员陈敏轩（音译）上月参与了全运会帆船项目，他表示在内地训练时配备了高端GPS追踪器。该设备收集了他航行中的瞬时速度、航向等表现数据，通过进一步分析助力成绩提升。"The piece of equipment allowed me to analyze all the training data and adjust my strategy for the day of the competition," Chan said.“这款设备让我能分析所有训练数据，调整比赛当天的策略，”陈敏轩说。The nation's support for sports development in its special administrative regions extends beyond hardware to include talent cultivation.国家对特区体育发展的支持不仅限于硬件层面，还涵盖人才培养。At Guangzhou Zhongshan Whampoa School for Hong Kong and Macao Students, a base has been established to provide a professional training platform for students from Hong Kong. Selected student athletes receive targeted training in five disciplines — fencing, swimming, equestrian, shooting and running.广州中山黄埔港澳子弟学校设立了专项基地，为香港学生提供专业训练平台。入选的学生运动员将接受击剑、游泳、马术、射击、跑步五个项目的针对性训练。These athletes also get more opportunities to participate directly in competitions at provincial, national and even international levels. By undergoing scientific and systematic training, they can gain recognition of the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China, and have the chance to register as Hong Kong athletes, potentially becoming the city's elite sports representatives.这些运动员还能获得更多直接参与省、国家乃至国际级赛事的机会。通过科学系统的训练，他们有望获得中国香港体育协会暨奥林匹克委员会的认可，注册成为香港运动员，进而成为特区的精英体育代表。aerodynamic/ˌeərəʊdaɪˈnæmɪk/adj.空气动力学的；流线型的optimize/ˈɒptɪmaɪz/v.优化；使最优化

Taller and heavier, but still as precise as she has ever been, China's diving sensation Quan Hong chan refuses to be written off at the elite level just yet as she overcomes severe physical challenges to shine at the 15th National Games.如今的全红婵身形更高、体重更重，但依旧精准如初。这位中国跳水巨星克服重重身体挑战，在第十五届全运会上闪耀赛场，证明自己仍未退出顶尖行列。The nation's quadrennial sporting extravaganza, which has kicked off some of its 419 medal events before Sunday's official opening ceremony, is being held across boundaries for the first time — in Guangdong province and the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions.这场四年一度的全国体育盛会，在周日正式开幕前已率先启动419个奖牌项目中的部分赛事。本届全运会首次跨区域举办，覆盖广东省以及香港、澳门特别行政区。After being sidelined from competitions for about half a year due to injuries, Quan, a three-time Olympic gold winner, has returned to the spotlight amid doubts about her current level of preparedness and her future in international competitions, particularly her chances of making it to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.作为三届奥运冠军得主，全红婵因伤缺席赛事近半年。回归公众视野之际，外界对她目前的备战状态、国际赛事前景尤其是2028年洛杉矶奥运会的参赛可能性充满疑虑。She is no longer the petite 14-year-old who, at the 2020 Tokyo Games, became one of the youngest Chinese divers to win an Olympic gold, or the more mature teenager who clinched gold twice at the 2024 Paris Games. Her larger body frame and six-month hiatus notwithstanding, Quan, now 18, has maintained the striking quality of her dives.她不再是2020年东京奥运会上那个年仅14岁、成为中国最年轻跳水奥运冠军之一的小姑娘，也不是2024年巴黎奥运会上两夺金牌的成熟少年。尽管如今18岁的她体型变化明显，且阔别赛场半年，但其跳水动作的超高水准依然保持不变。The teen master of the "splash-disappearing technique", which refers to her delicate body control to keep water splashes at the minimum during a dive, delivered once again on Sunday.这位擅长“水花消失术”的少年名将，凭借对身体的精妙控制将跳水时的水花降到最小，在周日的比赛中再度展现了这一绝技。In the women's synchronized 10-meter platform diving team event, Quan made a strong return, partnering with newcomer Wang Wei ying. The duo displayed remarkable synchronicity and composure, earning a top combined score over three rounds and securing the first gold medal in diving for Team Guangdong, successfully defending its National Games title.在女子双人10米台决赛中，全红婵与新秀王伟莹搭档强势回归。两人配合默契、沉着冷静，三轮比赛后总分位居榜首，为广东队斩获跳水项目首金，成功卫冕全运会该项目冠军。Quan's home crowd at the Guangdong Olympic Sports Center Swimming and Diving Hall welcomed her with the loudest cheers, while her legion of social media fans — around 3.75 million on Sina Weibo — celebrated her comeback online.在广东奥林匹克体育中心游泳跳水馆，主场观众为全红婵送上了最热烈的欢呼。她在新浪微博上的约375万粉丝也在网上为其回归喝彩。The hashtag "Quan Hong chan returns to win" garnered nearly 62 million views on Weibo as of Thursday, and she was among the top trending topics related to the National Games on social media.截至周四，“全红婵回归夺冠”的话题在微博上的阅读量接近6200万，她也跻身全运会相关社交媒体热搜榜前列。"I am awesome," Quan herself posted an encouragement on Weibo following Guangdong's team victory.“我超棒的！”广东队夺冠后，全红婵在微博上发文为自己鼓劲。Quan's impressive form despite her injuries signals that she is far from retirement.尽管饱受伤病困扰，全红婵依旧保持着出色状态，这表明她远未到退役之时。Referring to the prospect of diving against her star teammate in the individual event at the 2028 Olympics, Quan's partner Wang said, "I hope I can be her rival. Apparently, she's not recovered to her best form yet, but I hope she will continue working hard on her way back to the peak."谈及2028年奥运会个人项目中与这位明星队友同场竞技的可能性，搭档王伟莹表示：“我希望能成为她的对手。显然她还没恢复到最佳状态，但我期待她能继续努力，重返巅峰。”In 2021, Quan became a household name after winning the 10m platform gold at the Tokyo Olympics, which was deferred because of the COVID-19 pandemic. She redefined the benchmark of elite diving by effortlessly pulling off some of the world's most difficult dives.2021年，因新冠疫情延期举办的东京奥运会上，全红婵夺得10米台金牌，一举成名。她轻松完成多项世界最高难度动作，重新定义了精英跳水的标杆。The pull of gravity felt stronger as Quan grew at least 15 centimeters taller and 10 kilograms heavier by the time of the Paris Olympics. However, she beat the challenges with countless extra hours on her fitness program, which eventually paid rich dividends. Quan edged out national teammate Chen Yu xi to retain her individual title in Paris, and added a third career Olympic gold in the synchro event with Chen.到巴黎奥运会时，全红婵身高至少增长了15厘米，体重增加了10公斤，感受到的地心引力也随之增大。但她通过额外投入无数时间进行体能训练克服了这些挑战，最终收获丰硕成果。在巴黎，全红婵险胜国家队队友陈芋汐，成功卫冕个人项目冠军，并与陈芋汐搭档再夺双人项目金牌，职业生涯奥运金牌数增至三枚。Quan will miss another duel against Chen, who is representing Shanghai, in Monday's individual final, because she hasn't signed up for the event to keep the intensity of her return in check.由于为控制复出强度未报名参加单人项目，全红婵将错过周一与代表上海队出战的陈芋汐的再度对决，后者是该项目的夺冠热门。He Wei yi, head coach of the Guangdong diving team, said that Quan has overcome tougher-than-expected challenges to make it to the National Games. "She is competing while still nursing injuries to her (right) tibia and ankle joints, and her body has kinesiology tapes all over to protect her muscles from overstretching," he said. "It's extremely tough for her, as she endures severe pain every day. She has to apply ice packs to her leg between each round during both practice and competitions."广东跳水队主教练何威仪表示，全红婵为参加全运会克服了超出预期的困难。“她目前仍带着右胫骨和踝关节的伤病参赛，身上贴满了肌效贴以防止肌肉过度拉伸，”他说，“这对她来说极其艰难，每天都要忍受剧烈疼痛。无论是训练还是比赛，每轮间隙她都得给腿部冰敷。”The National Games was Quan's first competition since she last dived competitively at the World Aquatics Diving World Cup Super Final in May in Beijing.此次全运会是全红婵自今年5月北京世界泳联跳水世界杯超级总决赛后，首次重返赛场。Chen, 20, a close friend of Quan, has emerged as a favorite for the individual title at the 2028 Olympics, after she claimed a record-extending fourth world championship title in 10m platform in July in Singapore.20岁的陈芋汐是全红婵的挚友，今年7月在新加坡举行的世锦赛上，她斩获职业生涯第四枚10米台金牌，创造了该项目的纪录，现已成为2028年奥运会单人项目的夺冠大热门。Whether it is Quan making a comeback and reigning supreme again or a mature Chen finishing on top, the intriguing rivalry between the duo is expected to keep the diving world stoked in the run-up to the next Olympics.无论是全红婵强势回归、重登巅峰，还是陈芋汐愈发成熟、独占鳌头，两位选手之间的精彩较量，都有望在下次奥运会前持续点燃跳水界的热情。quadrennialadj.四年一度的/kwəˈdreniəl/synchronizedadj.同步的；双人同步的/ˈsɪŋkrənaɪzd/hiatusn.间隙；暂停；休赛期/haɪˈeɪtəs/

With southern China's culture and cross-regional integration presented in a visual spectacle, a gala ceremony left the entire Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area stoked on Sunday as President Xi Jinping declared the 15th National Games open in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province.上周日，习近平主席在广东省省会广州宣布第十五届全国运动会开幕。这场盛典以视觉盛宴的形式展现了中国南方文化与区域协同发展成果，让整个粤港澳大湾区为之沸腾。Launched in 1959 to promote mass sports participation, China's National Games have opened a new chapter with the groundbreaking 2025 edition, being jointly held for the first time in Guangdong province and the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions. The 15th National Games kicked off with great fanfare, celebrating their influence in pulling the Greater Bay Area further together, not just in sports exchanges but also in terms of cultural and economic cohesion.全国运动会始于1959年，旨在推动群众体育参与。2025年第十五届全运会开创性地由广东省与香港、澳门特别行政区首次联合承办，为这一赛事翻开了崭新篇章。本届全运会的盛大开幕，不仅彰显了其在促进大湾区体育交流中的作用，更在文化融合与经济联结层面推动大湾区进一步凝聚，意义深远。After overseeing the parade of athletes and a series of ceremonial rituals, Xi announced the opening of the domestic sporting gala — held once every four years with a competition program similar to that of the Olympics — to rousing cheers from the crowd of over 80,000 at Guangdong Olympic Sports Center Stadium.在检阅运动员方阵、见证一系列仪式环节后，习近平主席宣布这一国内体育盛会正式开幕。全运会每四年举办一届，竞赛项目设置与奥运会相近，现场8万余名观众在广东奥林匹克体育中心体育场内爆发出热烈欢呼。Before attending the ceremony, Xi met on Sunday afternoon in Guangzhou with individuals and representatives of various sports groups, who were honored as role models of mass fitness and competitive sports promotion.开幕仪式前，习近平主席于周日下午在广州会见了获评群众健身与竞技体育推广模范的个人及各类体育团体代表。Kirsty Coventry, the new president of the International Olympic Committee and Thomas Bach, the IOC's honorary president for life, were among guests at the opening ceremony.国际奥委会新任主席柯丝蒂・考文垂与国际奥委会终身名誉主席托马斯・巴赫出席了开幕式。As the largest edition of the games, in numbers of participants and host cities, the Greater Bay Area games feature 419 medal events across 34 sports, involving over 14,000 professional athletes on its competitive program. A parallel mass sports program has also engaged more than 1 million amateurs in preliminary rounds of 166 events since February.本届全运会是参赛人数最多、主办城市最广的一届：竞赛项目涵盖34个大项、419个奖牌项目，有1.4万余名专业运动员参赛；同步开展的群众体育项目自今年2月起已举办166个项目的预选赛，吸引超100万名业余爱好者参与。As an early highlight of the night, a joint delegation of athletes representing Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao marched together at the end of the athletes' parade, drawing warm applause from the crowd.当晚的一大亮点出现在运动员入场仪式尾声——粤港澳联合代表团共同入场，赢得现场观众热烈掌声。As part of an extensive display of the history and culture of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, the opening ceremony presented traditional activities and art, ranging from dragon boat racing and lion dances to drum and gong performances in an intriguingly immersive fashion, enhanced by modern technology and dazzling audiovisual effects.开幕式以极具沉浸感的方式，结合现代科技与绚丽视听效果，集中展示了粤港澳三地的历史文化，呈现了龙舟竞渡、舞狮、锣鼓表演等传统活动与艺术形式。The lion dancers brought the crowd to its feet, taking advantage of virtual reality technology that made the performance even more spectacular, before the racing dragon boats drew "oohs" and "aahs" from spectators who, aided by augmented reality technology, felt as if the boats were being paddled into the crowd.舞狮表演借助虚拟现实技术，场面愈发壮观，引得观众起立喝彩；随后的龙舟竞渡环节，在增强现实技术的助力下，观众仿佛看到龙舟向自己驶来，纷纷发出惊叹。During the jubilant performances, iconic landmarks, such as Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour, the Ruins of St. Paul's in Macao and the Canton Tower in Guangzhou, took shape as 3D background projections, showcasing unique attractions of the Greater Bay Area's past and present.在热烈的表演过程中，香港维多利亚港、澳门大三巴牌坊、广州塔等标志性建筑以3D背景投影形式呈现，展现了粤港澳大湾区古今交融的独特魅力。Huang Kunming, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Party chief of Guangdong province, delivered a speech in which he extended his warm welcome to all participants.中共中央政治局委员、广东省委书记黄坤明致辞，向全体参与者表示热烈欢迎。"The National Games being held together by Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao will write a new chapter of the integrated development of the Greater Bay Area. We will play a generous host to present a streamlined, safe and splendid sporting extravaganza," he said.他指出：“粤港澳三地共同承办全运会，将书写大湾区协同发展的新篇章。我们将当好东道主，呈现一届简约、安全、精彩的体育盛会。”Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu and Macao Chief Executive Sam Hou-fai both pledged to build on the games' momentum to further facilitate sports, cultural and economic collaborations across the Greater Bay Area.香港特别行政区行政长官李家超与澳门特别行政区行政长官贺一诚均表示，将借全运会东风，进一步推动粤港澳大湾区在体育、文化、经济领域的合作。"This 15th edition not only represents an innovation of the National Games, but also accelerates Hong Kong's integration into the overall development of the country," Lee said in his speech.李家超在致辞中表示：“第十五届全运会不仅是全运会的一次创新，更将加速香港融入国家发展大局。”Sam said the games "will help build a brighter future of the GBA as yet another example of the significance of the 'one country, two systems' policy".贺一诚则指出：“本届全运会将为大湾区建设更美好的未来注入动力，是‘一国两制'实践意义的又一生动例证。”As a symbolic milestone of the games, the men's road cycling race charted a 230-kilometer route linking Zhuhai, a co-host city in Guangdong, with Hong Kong and Macao on Saturday, marking the first ever cross-boundary sporting event held in the Greater Bay Area.作为本届全运会的标志性事件，男子公路自行车赛于周六开启了一条连接广东协办城市珠海与香港、澳门的230公里赛道，这是粤港澳大湾区首次举办跨境体育赛事。For the exciting finale, three renowned athletes — Hong Kong's Olympic champion fencer Cheung Ka-long, Guangdong's star sprinter Su Bingtian and Macao martial artist Li Yi — completed the final leg of the torch relay before together igniting a flame ring as the games' main cauldron.在激动人心的圣火点燃环节，三位知名运动员——香港奥运击剑冠军张家朗、广东短跑名将苏炳添、澳门武术运动员李毅完成最后一棒火炬传递，共同点燃环形主火炬台，宣告赛事正式启动。cohesion/kəʊˈhiːʒn/n.凝聚力；结合；团结groundbreaking/ˈɡraʊndbreɪkɪŋ/adj.开创性的；突破性的；革新的Immersive/ɪˈmɜːsɪv/adj.沉浸式的；有沉浸感的

Chinese President Xi Jinping has declared the 15th National Games open. Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao are co-hosting the multi-sport event, boosting connectivity across the Greater Bay Area.

Chinese premier Li Qiang has hailed the China International Import Expo as a bridge connecting the world, and an entrance to the Chinese economy (01:06). A special C919 aircraft featuring iconic landmark and cultural elements of the host region is serving athletes and spectators during the National Games (19:22). And the impacts of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history are spilling over into Canada (23:49).

Four key cities of the Greater Bay Area have held torch relays for China's 15th National Games. The flames converged in Guangzhou and merged into a single one, which will light the main cauldron for the sports event.

As a key gateway for fostering connectivity, Hong Kong is set to accelerate the integrated development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the nation's high-quality growth.香港作为加强互联互通的核心门户，正计划加快粤港澳大湾区一体化建设，推动国家高质量发展。The city will achieve this by continuously channeling global capital, promoting innovation and building cultural bridges, senior officials, industry leaders and experts told the Greater Bay Area Conference 2025, which was held on Thursday in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.在香港特别行政区于周四举办的“2025粤港澳大湾区大会”上，政府高官、行业领袖及专家表示，香港将通过持续引入全球资本、推动创新发展、搭建文化交流桥梁等举措实现上述目标。Qu Yingpu, publisher and editor-in-chief of China Daily, lifted the curtain on the high-profile conference with a prerecorded welcome speech, which was followed by keynote speeches delivered by Leung Chun-ying, vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu.中国日报社社长兼总编辑曲莹璞通过预录欢迎辞为这场备受关注的大会拉开帷幕。随后，全国政协副主席梁振英、香港特别行政区行政长官李家超分别发表主旨演讲。Leung emphasized the central government's vision for the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions to actively integrate into the nation's development.梁振英强调，中央政府始终支持香港、澳门两个特别行政区积极融入国家发展大局。He said that upholding the principle of "one country, two systems" and promoting integrated development across the Greater Bay Area would "unleash huge energy similar to nuclear fusion", driving development on both sides.他表示，坚持“一国两制”方针，推动粤港澳大湾区融合发展，将“释放出堪比核聚变的巨大能量”，为大湾区内外发展注入动力。Leung also highlighted the freer flow of people, goods, capital and data as key pathways and objectives of the region's integrated development. Noting the concrete progress in infrastructure and visa relaxation, he said the collaboration between the Hong Kong SAR and Guangdong province has become broader and deeper.梁振英还指出，人员、货物、资金、数据的更自由流动，是大湾区一体化发展的核心路径与目标。他提到，当前大湾区基础设施建设与签证便利化政策已取得切实进展，香港特区与广东省的合作领域正不断拓宽、合作深度持续加深。"Faster and easier cross-boundary journeys have brought about the flow of talent to cities where they are most needed, and where they are most productive," Leung added.“更快捷、更便捷的跨境出行，让人才能够流向最需要、也最能发挥其价值的城市，”梁振英补充道。The senior official expressed his firm belief in the huge untapped potential of Hong Kong's role as a "super-connector", not only within the Greater Bay Area but also in linking the region with the rest of the world.这位高官坚信，香港作为“超级联系人”的潜力尚未完全释放——这一角色不仅体现在大湾区内部，更在于将大湾区与全球其他地区紧密联结。"For all sectors, there are opportunities, and for all opportunities, there are windows. Opportunities come and go, and the windows open and shut," Leung said, calling for "better understanding" and more on-the-ground actions.“各行业皆有机遇，所有机遇皆有窗口期。机遇转瞬即逝，窗口期亦会开合，”梁振英说道，他呼吁各方“增进理解”并采取更多务实行动。The conference, themed "Financial Connectivity, Nurturing Talent, Building Cultural Bridges", was co-organized by China Daily and the Hong Kong Coalition. It brought together more than 300 guests, including executives from Fortune Global 500 and China 500 companies, representatives of think tanks, academia and media, and experts from public and private sectors across Asia.本次大会以“金融互联・人才培育・文化筑桥”为主题，由中国日报与香港友好协进会联合主办。来自亚洲各地的300余名嘉宾参会，包括《财富》世界500强与中国500强企业高管、智库代表、学术界人士、媒体从业者，以及公共部门与私营领域的专家。Qu, the publisher and editor-in-chief of China Daily, highlighted Hong Kong's advantage in "value adding" as the "super-connector", noting that the city's newly established GoGlobal Task Force "will make Hong Kong the primary channel for attracting international capital and technology".中国日报社社长兼总编辑曲莹璞强调，香港作为“超级联系人”，具备独特的“增值”优势。他指出，香港新建立的出海服务平台“将推动香港成为吸引国际资本与技术的主要渠道”。He said he believes the Greater Bay Area is set to "contribute to the national goal of scientific and technological self-reliance", while the upcoming 15th National Games, which will be co-hosted by Hong Kong, Macao and Guangdong, make it "a magnet for domestic and international talent, as well as tourists — a connector of cultures and civilizations".他认为，粤港澳大湾区必将“为国家实现科技自立自强的目标贡献力量”；而即将由香港、澳门与广东联合举办的第十五届全国运动会，将使大湾区“成为吸引国内外人才与游客的‘磁石'，成为连接不同文化与文明的纽带”。"The Greater Bay Area has the glorious mission of becoming a principal support of the new development paradigm and a pioneer of Chinese modernization. By pursuing high-quality development and better integrating itself into China's overall development, the Greater Bay Area can well fulfill this mission and make an important contribution to national rejuvenation," Qu added.“粤港澳大湾区肩负着成为新发展格局重要支撑、中国式现代化先行典范的光荣使命。通过推动高质量发展、更好融入国家发展大局，大湾区完全能够履行这一使命，为民族复兴作出重要贡献，”曲莹璞补充道。In a video speech, Hong Kong Chief Executive Lee underscored the city's unique position as the only city having both Chinese and global advantages.香港特别行政区行政长官李家超在视频致辞中强调，香港是唯一兼具“中国优势”与“全球优势”的城市，地位独特。Leveraging its common law system, competitive taxation and a bilingual talent pool, Hong Kong serves as a "premier gateway for cooperation, bridging people, trades, businesses, cultures and values across the region".依托普通法制度、具有竞争力的税收政策及双语人才库，香港成为“区域合作的首要门户，为区内人员、贸易、企业、文化及价值观的互联互通搭建桥梁”。The GoGlobal Task Force will support Chinese mainland enterprises in their global expansion to "create important value for both our country and Hong Kong", Lee said, emphasizing the importance of accelerating the city's development as an international innovation and technology center.李家超表示，“出海”服务平台将支持中国内地企业拓展全球市场，“为国家与香港创造重要价值”。他同时强调，加快推动香港建设国际创新科技中心具有重要意义。With strengthened talent cultivation and cultural exchanges, particularly through the upcoming 15th National Games, Hong Kong will continue to link the Greater Bay Area to global markets, Lee added.李家超补充道，通过加强人才培养与文化交流（尤其是借助即将举办的第十五届全国运动会），香港将继续发挥纽带作用，推动粤港澳大湾区与全球市场对接。The conference featured two panel discussions on innovative finance and talent development, and a dialogue on the National Games' impact on local sports and culture.大会设置两场专题小组讨论，分别聚焦“创新金融与人才发展”；此外还举办了一场主题对话，探讨全运会对香港本地体育与文化发展的影响。Panelists highlighted Hong Kong's GoGlobal Task Force initiative, which supports mainland firms' overseas expansion and facilitates capital flows.参会嘉宾重点关注香港“出海”服务平台 的相关举措——该平台不仅支持内地企业海外拓展，还为资金流动提供便利。Their discussions also focused on enhancing university-industry collaboration to drive technological advancement and leveraging the games to boost regional integration through sports and cultural exchanges.嘉宾们在讨论中还提出，应加强校企合作以推动技术进步，并借助全运会契机，通过体育与文化交流促进区域融合。Furthermore, they discussed strategies to improve cross-regional coordination and advance the Greater Bay Area as a benchmark for China's high-quality development.此外，嘉宾们还就“如何完善跨区域协调机制”“推动粤港澳大湾区成为中国高质量发展标杆”等议题探讨了具体策略。untapped/ˌʌnˈtæpt/adj.未开发的；未利用的integrated/ˈɪntɪɡreɪtɪd/adj.一体化的；综合的facilitate/fəˈsɪlɪteɪt/v.促进；使便利

QB and Doug discuss the reeling Wisconsin Badgers, go around the Big Ten, and cover the top National Games of the week in our Week 9 preview

Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee has pledged efforts to create a fair stage and an unforgettable experience at the National Games.

Today's word of the day is ‘groundbreaking' as in Vegas as in the Athletics as in permits as in documents as in construction. What am I talking about?

Madonna Hanna Madonna Hanna When You Drop Kick The Drama Anything is Possible! Biography I was the only African-American student in my elementary school class and including me there were only 8 African Americans in my graduating high school class. Despite my creativity and talent, I faced bullying, racial prejudice, and isolation at school due to the color of her skin. My retail education prepared me to be recruited into a prestigious retail management/ executive training program in one of the largest department stores in New England.I also worked at the corporate headquarters of a national women's apparel manufacturing corporation. Later embarking on a 32 year career teaching Fashion Marketing in Washington State. I developed numerous anti-bullying programs, and was recognized for excellence in teaching at the state and national level! LIFE TODAY As a retiree and widow, I continues to win awards as a senior athlete in track and field. Presently, I am writing a monthly column in a local paper chronicling my journey to the National Senior Games. I am also motivational speaker committed to preventing bullying in schools and promoting an active second act. Also a member of Toastmasters International where I participates in international speech contests. My goal Is to utilize my skills, talents and experiences to assist others with achieving their goals and dreams; while building their self-esteem. About Madonna I truly believe that when people drop kick the drama in their lives...Anything is POSSIBLE! I am a living example of that statement. I should be booked as guest because, I am a charismatic, energetic and dynamic survivor! Thank goodness I was bullied as a child. Being bullied prepared me to grow a thick skin and helped me to stand my ground as a retail executive in a conservative white city like Boston. I later became a high school Fashion Marketing educator in Washington State. Absolutely, no bullying allowed in my classroom! I look forward to sharing my anti-bullying classroom strategies and the anti-bullying campaigns I created and shared with schools in Washington State. Also, as a retired person, on whim at the age of 57, (10 years ago) I became a competitive amateur sprinter. Mind you I had no prior experience at all in track and field. I have competed in numerous Washington State Senior Game events and am preparing for my 3rd. National Senior Game event, May 2022. My coach is a 2021 Olympic hopeful. Yes, I can share tips on what it's like to be- teaching millennials in a class room, then retire and be bossed by a millennia. I believe seniors can live an exciting "Big Life!" Just because your old does not mean you don't have a future! I am also a widow ,going on three years. I believe widows and widowers can inspire others by reaching out/volunteering and being rainbows that brighten the lives of others. I definitely love to using my experiences, talents and skills to encourage people of all age to achieve their dreams and goals!

The good news is that the solar flux index was at 170 by Thursday, but the bad news was that we had two episodes where the Kp index hit five and there were at least five M-class flares.  At least one of these flares was responsible for a coronal mass ejection, or CME, which swept past the Earth on the 10th of May with a solar wind speed close to 700km/s. Although it was fierce, it was relatively short-lived and the Kp index was back to three on Thursday the 11th. The CME caused the maximum usable frequency over 3,000km to decline to around 21MHz at times on Wednesday, but by Thursday morning it was back up to nearly 28MHz. The high proton flux also caused problems on the 10th of May. The protons, mainly from CMEs, move down the Earth's magnetic field lines into the polar regions and cause massive ionisation of the polar D region leading to increased, or total, absorption of HF waves. This effect may last for as long as ten days and is called a Polar Cap Absorption event, or PCA. This affects signals going over the poles, such as the UK to the west coast of Canada and the USA, or to Japan and the far east. Meanwhile, we are now underway with the Sporadic-E season, so make the most of the short skip and potential multi-hop Sporadic-E DX on 14 to 28MHz. Next week, the Space Weather Prediction Centre has the Solar Flux Index declining slightly into the 150s. This is still more than enough to maintain DX on 21MHz and higher at times. It also predicts that the Kp index will be no higher than a stable 2 all week. However, that is hard to believe, with the level of solar activity at the moment, and we could reasonably expect the Earth to be hit with a CME or two at some stage. This could see the Kp index rising with the potential of reduced MUFs at times.   And now the VHF and up propagation news After a very unsettled end to the week, with lots of rain scatter reported, it will soon quieten down as a ridge of high pressure builds across the country to give some limited Tropo opportunities for the start of the weekend. This will not last long and by this evening, it will be heading back to unsettled with low pressure, heavy rain and rain scatter. This unsettled theme will last through the first half of the new week together with strong north-easterly winds. Thereafter, high pressure will build again for the second half of the week, providing further Tropo options. Keep a watch for Aurora, especially in view of the current unsettled solar state. CMEs will mean a very unsteady Kp index and anything higher than five should get your attention for auroral propagation. No significant meteor showers are expected this week, but QSOs using random meteors are always a possibility in the dawn hours. Likely to be of interest in the summer months ahead, there have already been Sporadic-E openings on 6m CW and FT8 into Europe. Early evening trans-equatorial 6m FT8 QSOs to South America, the Indian Ocean and the South Atlantic were reported from the UK last week. Check Propquest.co.uk for daily blogs and make use of the DX cluster and map plots to see where the actual centres of activity are located. Timings can be a bit random early in the season, but there tend to be two ‘openings' per day – one in the morning and a second during the late afternoon or early evening. Moon declination is rising, going positive again next Tuesday. But last Thursday's perigee means path losses are on the increase. 144MHz sky noise is low until Friday when the Sun and Moon are close in the sky for the whole Moon window. Things return to normal early on Saturday and sky noise is moderate. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

After a gap of 7 years, and in the backdrop of Navratri and the upcoming state elections, the National Games are currently underway in Gujarat. With an increased budget of Rs 2000 crore, the authorities somehow managed to get it up and running in a short span of three months. In this episode of Game Time, hosts Mihir Vasavda and Rahul Pandey talk about how serious athletes have been about these games, the problems that the organisers have faced, and the highlights for it so far.

Seen as a part of the lead-up to the Gujarat Assembly elections, the hurriedly put-together event might well deliver, like Indian wedding planners do, but the timing hasn't exactly been ideal.

Now, let's went back to August 10,1992, to enjoy the 25th Barcelona Olympics together.In this OlympicGames, China won the first ever gold medal in Olympic swimming, and all this wasinseparable from one person, she was Zhuang Yong.Zhuang Yong wasborn in 1972 in Shanghai, China. She had loved swimming since kindergarten.Zhuang Yong's parents were workers and did not understand sports, but with thesupport of her aunt and others, Zhuang Yong still insisted on the hobby ofswimming. She began to learn to swim at swimming school at the age of 7.

Welcome to November 20, 2021 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate kids and the games for kids at heart.  While not everyone becomes a parent, most of us have some effect on the children around us and today we focus on some important things to remember about early childhood development. From the time they are born babies spend 60 percent of their energy on brain development. In fact the human brain grows so quickly that if the rest of a newborn's body grew at that rate it would weigh 170 pounds after only one month. And while most parents understand their role as their child's first teacher, it's also important to see the bigger picture. Because all caregivers affect the development of a child it's important to remember that it takes a village. On National Child's Day we honor our children and celebrate those who make a difference to them every day.  As we gather together with our families next week, we can be sure of a few things, we will eat too much and someone will stir up a family ruckus. It's time to plan ahead, not only for Thanksgiving dinner, but also for what to do before and after the feast is served. Games bring people together, which is exactly what this holiday is about. Yes, there may be some arguments, but it's better to scrap over who owns Park Place than so many other things. Puzzles can keep the brain occupied, even through a carb induced fog. If you have something for everyone on hand your dinner is bound to go smoothly. Even with a house full of kids at heart. Next week is National Games and Puzzles Week, an easy and fun way to keep things light, while dinner does the heavy lifting.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
