It is reported that there are more than 20 National Games events in Xi'an. In addition, there are also events scattered in other parts of Shaanxi Province and outside the province.
For example, table tennis and wrestling competitions will be held in Yan'an, weightlifting competitions will be held in Weinan, and Hanzhong in the Qinba Mountains will undertake triathlon and taekwondo competitions.
Some key events that have attracted much attention, such as diving, tennis, rhythmic gymnastics, trampoline, etc., have ended before the opening ceremony on the 15th, and more than 80 gold medals have been produced before the opening ceremony.
At the National Games, there will be more than 50 Tokyo Olympics and previous Olympic gold medalists participating, which can be described as full of gold.
This will be the first official game after many players have returned from Tokyo to complete the isolation. These star players will also be a highlight of the opening ceremony of this National Games.
According to media reports, after three rehearsals, the opening ceremony's cultural and sports performances will take "national roots, Yan'an soul, and Chinese dream" as the theme, welcoming guests from all over the world to Shaanxi.
At the opening ceremony, who will light the main torch is another important point.

On September 12, with the last torchbearer and Shaanxi martial arts athlete Wu Yanan, the torch relay of the 14th National Games and the Paralympic Games ended.
