Shou Xiaoli:

Due to time constraints, we will have one last question.

Nanfang Daily, Nanfang Plus: 

We've learned that since the postponement of the Hangzhou Asian Games, all of the competition and training venues have been opened to the public, setting a precedent for opening comprehensive sports event venues for public fitness and recreational sports before the Games. Can you tell us how these venues will be utilized after the Games? Thank you.

Chen Weiqiang:

As Mr. Yao mentioned earlier, the utilization of venues after the Games is a major concern for everyone. The venues for the Asian Games and Asian Para Games mainly fall into two categories. The first category is the venues for public use, which can be used by the general public. The second category is more professional venues. The first category of venues is an important base for public fitness. The general guiding principle is to open them to the public for their benefit. Some are free, such as athletics and football stadiums, while others are charged at low prices to cover costs. The key is that we need to specify the operation entity. Our distinctive feature is that we have introduced third-party management for these venues. As Mr. Yao mentioned, the third party is very experienced and can bring in information about other events. This is the first category, the venues for public sports. For professional venues, we have professional teams using them as intensive training bases. For example, the Shaoxing baseball and softball sports center has become the training base for national teams. The shooting range hall has become the training base for the Hangzhou shooting team. The strengths of professional venues have been fully leveraged. Of course, whether it is mass-oriented venues or professional venues, we aim to host as many sports events as possible. We are striving to provide support for sports events and tournaments. Meanwhile, we will also organize some cultural activities and exhibitions, maximizing the role of these venues. Thank you.

Shou Xiaoli:

Thanks to all the speakers and friends from the media. Today's briefing is hereby concluded. See you.
