Editor's Note: The 15th National Games, co-hosted by China's Guangdong Province, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and Macao Special Administrative Region (the Greater Bay Area or GBA), offered fresh insights into the future of global sports and the Olympic Movement. How will China's growing influence shape international sport? In this episode of Leaders Talk, CMG host Zou Yun sits down with International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Kirsty Coventry for an in-depth conversation. They explore the "breathtaking" opening ceremony of the recent National Games and examine the historic cooperation within the GBA. The discussion also highlights Chinese President Xi Jinping's focus on sports development and political neutrality, as well as China's expanding role in global sports governance. Coventry reflects on China's comprehensive approach to public fitness and athletic performance. She shares what the Olympic Movement can learn from China's experience and offers her perspective on leading the IOC at a pivotal moment in its history. What vision does Coventry bring as the first woman and first African to lead the IOC?
