Preparations for the 33rd FISU Winter World University Games, scheduled for January 15–25, 2027, in Changchun and Jilin, China, have reached key milestones. During a 100-day countdown event, organizers unveiled the official torch, named ‘Ji Xiang’ (Auspicious Flight), and the medals, named ‘Ji Meng’ (Auspicious Dream). The torch design incorporates motifs of the clivia flower, filmstrips, and ski lines, while the medals feature designs inspired by skate blades and the ‘First Jade Bird of Ancient China’. The flame for the games was officially lit at the University of Turin, Italy, on October 8. In a ceremony involving Changchun Mayor Gu Gang and FISU President Leonz Eder, a torch from the inaugural 1959 Universiade was used to light the cauldron. Following the ceremony, the flame traveled through historic sites in ~~Turin~~ Turin, including the Egyptian Museum, before arriving at the Polytechnic University of Turin for safekeeping. The flame is now beginning its journey toward China, where a welcoming ceremony is expected in Changchun on October 14. Organizers expressed confidence that the event will attract record numbers of participating delegations and serve as a bridge for cultural exchange between the East and West.
