The Asian Games digital torchbearer has been named, and the “trendsetter” is here!

At the opening ceremony of the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, the "Asian Games Digital Torchbearers" composed of more than 100 million Asian Games digital torchbearers came riding the waves and ignited the "Qianjiang Tide" main torch tower in a world-first and high-tech way, becoming a classic moment in Asian Olympic history.

In response to the ardent wishes of all sectors of society and to create another iconic Asian Games brand, the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee launched the "Asian Games Digital Torchman" naming campaign and quickly collected tens of thousands of names. After two rounds of expert review and repeated discussions, "Tide Rider" finally stood out and became the name of the "Asian Games Digital Torchman".

"Tide Surfer" is in the same vein as other important visual symbols such as the emblem "Tide", the mascot "Memories of Jiangnan", the core graphic "Moisture", the color system "Light Makeup and Heavy Makeup", the torch "Flame", and the medal "Lake and Mountain", and together they carry the profound historical and cultural heritage and surging scientific and technological innovation genes of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and open a new era in the history of the Asian Games.

Tide riders are competitors of the natural tide of Qianjiang River

"Tide" originates from Qiantang River, the largest river in Zhejiang Province. The Qiantang River Tide is known as "the best tide in the world" and is one of the world's great natural wonders. "The tide-rider stands at the head of the waves, holding the red flag without getting it wet." For thousands of years, the image of the "tide-rider" who bravely stands at the head of the waves has always been synonymous with the heroic sons and daughters who race and chase the waves on both sides of the Qianjiang River.

The trend-setters are the disseminators of Zhejiang's humanistic trend

Zhejiang is a place of flourishing humanities and beautiful natural environment, and it has always dared to lead the way. Qiantang River, as the mother river of Zhejiang, has nurtured the spirit of Zhejiang people to "work hard, be in the forefront, and stand at the forefront of the tide." The birth of "Tide Surfers" is deeply rooted in Zhejiang's rich cultural soil and vibrant innovation environment, implying that China in the new era is blending and stirring with Asia and the world, surging forward like a wave.

The trend-setter is the leader of the Asian Games smart trend

Intelligence is the organizing concept of the Hangzhou Asian Games. Digital empowerment and technological assistance are the distinctive features of this Asian Games. The Olympic Council of Asia praised this Asian Games for opening a new era of intelligent Asian Games. "Trendsetters" use digital technology as a medium to gather the power of the masses and embody the spirit of the Internet. They are a new thing in the history of the Asian Games and a product of the times.

The trend-setters are the shapers of the youth wave of the Asian Games

From the "post-90s" Asian Games sports exhibition team that made a strong debut, to the many "post-00s" and even "post-10s" athletes who shone at the Asian Games, to the warm smiles and meticulous and thoughtful service of the college student volunteers, youth is the brightest color of the Hangzhou Asian Games, the tide of youth is the most beautiful background color of the "trendsetters", and it is the perfect interpretation of "heart to heart, @the future".
