First, we think that the competition performance industry will grow rapidly. In the future, more international events will be held, more professional events will be created, and more independent brand events will emerge. The second point is that we believe that the development space of smart sports is broad, which is also a highlight of our Asian Games. Third, the development prospects of outdoor sports are broad. We will see from the Hangzhou Asian Games that some outdoor sports, such as rowing, sailing, including marathons, have won many medals, then this will also promote more people to love outdoor sports.
