"The sports pictograms have to present not only an amicable, lovely and lively Ya Ya but also the characteristics of each sport in terms of speed, professionalism and strength," said Zheng Lei, head of the design team. 

As an important part of SABG's visual system, the mascot in motion will be widely used in occasions like sports venues, marketing, and image and look projects for the Games promotion, said the SABG Organizing Committee. 

SABG will take place from November 28 to December 6 in Sanya in south China's Hainan Province, the first Asian comprehensive sporting event to be held in the province.
