The scene recreated classic images of the 1990 Beijing Asian Games torch relay with a very ceremonial sense of creativity. Dawa Yang Zong and Li Ning recreated the first torch handover. Xu Haifeng and Gao Min were the main torch lighters of that year, and joined hands with Li Xiaoshuang, Tang Jiuhong, and other athlete representatives from the 1990 Beijing Asian Games, as well as current athlete representatives, to light up the five-pointed star device to complete the glory relay that spanned 36 years. Singer Wei Wei sang the classic Asian Games golden song “Asian Style” live, evoking memories of the Asian Games treasured by the nation.

At the launch site, a scientific and cultural display space was created around the award-winning equipment of the Chinese sports delegation at this year's Asian Games, presenting an immersive experience connecting the past and future, from glorious memories to industry-leading technological innovation; the Asian Games Honor Space showcased the honor and original intention of the Li Ning brand as the first Chinese professional sports brand to support the Chinese sports delegation to the Asian Games since 1990.

The Chinese sports delegation's award winning equipment for the 2026 Asian Games uses “shine brightly” as the core design concept, blue as the main color, combined with a dynamic star pattern, blends Oriental aesthetics with modern sports aesthetics, and places good wishes for athletes to shine on the field.

In terms of scientific and technological innovation, this year's Chinese sports delegation's award suit uses Li Ning Aerospace temperature control fiber technology. This technology uses phase change temperature control materials of the same origin as the Chang'e-1 probe, to make temperature control fibers through a melt spinning process, and woven into the prize fabric to help athletes maintain a comfortable body surface in an environment with variable temperature differences. Li Ning is the world's first professional sporting goods brand to transform and implement this aerospace science and technology achievement. With its outstanding innovative design, it has successively won three international awards: the Red Dot Concept Design Award, the MUSE Design Platinum Award, and the New York Design Gold Award.

Li Ning's gold standard surpassing MAX SE award shoes inherit the genes of “transcendence” from Li Ning's classic IP. They are equipped with Li Ning's new visual cushioning structure technology - arc technology, and superimposed carbon core technology to meet the needs of professional athletes in various situations such as standing for long periods of time and light daily training, bringing a resilient wearing experience.

At the festival, the full matrix of professional competition uniforms for the five national teams of this year's Asian Games was unveiled for the first time, demonstrating Li Ning's comprehensive ability to help Chinese athletes compete in this year's Asian Games arena.

As a partner of the Chinese Olympic Committee, Li Ning will continue to serve Chinese sports with leading professional sports technology and fully guarantee that the Chinese sports delegation will compete in the field.
