The main attractions of the National Games are China's recently returned Tokyo 2020 Olympians. 

Yang Qian, who won China's first gold medal at Tokyo 2020 with her victory in the women's 10-meter air rifle, and Quan Hongchan, the Tokyo Olympics women's 10-meter platform champion, are among the 50 Olympic gold medalists to compete at the Games. 

One of the most competitive sports at the Games is table tennis, as a total of 15 world champions including Fan Zhendong and Xu Xin are going to compete for gold medals.

Another eye-catching competition will be the men's 100-meter track and field event. "Flying Man" Su Bingtian, the first Asian-born sprinter to break the 10-second barrier in the 100m event, is going to compete at the men's 100m at 8:40 pm on Sept 21.
