A CGTN reporter swapped microphones for mittens at Beijing’s Nanshan Ski Resort, building a snowman to spotlight the upcoming 9th Asian Winter Games in Harbin. But there’s a tech twist: An AI-generated ‘snowman of the future’ joined the frosty fun, blending tradition with cutting-edge creativity.
The event highlights how winter sports culture is evolving through technology, appealing to a digitally native generation. AI’s interpretation of the classic snowman – featuring geometric shapes and neon-lit accessories ’s now sparking conversations about innovation in global sporting events.
Harbin, known as China’s ‘Ice City,’ will host Asian Winter Games athletes from over 30 countries and regions starting February 2025. The Games aim to boost winter tourism collaboration across Asia while promoting youth engagement through sports-tech hybrids.
