On September 29, global table tennis fans gathered in the land of abundance as the opening ceremony of the ITTF 2022 World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Chengdu was held at the Chengdu High-Tech Zone Sports Center.

近几日，来自世界各地参赛的选手已经陆续抵达四川成都，在酒店里，他们迫不及待地和本届世乒赛顶流团团进行合影，并在社交媒体上分享他们的成都初体验与感受。

斯韦思林杯和考比伦杯亮相赛场

开幕式现场，世乒赛团体赛男团冠军奖杯斯韦思林杯和女团冠军奖杯考比伦杯亮相。接下来的10天时间里，各国乒乓球运动员将向着乒乓球团体最高荣誉发起冲击。

国际乒联主席佩特拉·索林在开幕式上致辞，她表示：“本次赛事是继北京2022年冬奥会和冬残奥会之后，中国举办的又一重大国际赛事。为此，整个乒坛大家庭都深感荣幸。乒乓球的力量再次点亮整个世界，展现出我们团结协作的拼搏精神。今天，以乒乓球运动为桥梁，让全球乒坛人士齐聚中国，我们感到无比荣幸。”

We are truly honored to bring the world to China with table tennis being the bridge. Being here today with all of you is such a privilege and a precious moment to cherish. The power of table tennis once again is lighting up the world and show that we can unite people."

“友谊第一，比赛第二”理念贯穿开幕式

开幕式导演组在体育馆顶棚吊挂了560颗可升降的LED数控矩阵灯球，寓意世乒赛团体赛已经举办至第56届。现场的灯球通过色彩和阵列的变化，不断变幻出地球、世乒赛LOGO、奖杯等图案，用“小球”转动“大球”，充分表达构建人类命运共同体的美好愿景。导演组原创的音乐元素巧妙融入了国球“乒乒乓乓”撞击台面的声音，让极具辨识度的音效串联起整场活动。

据开幕式导演胡晓介绍，此次开幕式仪式和表演环节，“友谊第一，比赛第二”的理念贯穿始终。“整场开幕式展示了成都人的热情好客，希望全球乒乓球运动员能够充分感受天府文化，同时我们也想向所有选手传递‘共同牵手、共享荣耀’的理念，传递‘友谊第一’的精神。”接下来的10天时间里，来自全球的顶尖运动员将在成都展开精彩角逐，向象征着最高荣誉的两座奖杯发起冲击。

According to Hu Xiao, the opening ceremony director, the opening ceremony and performance were centered on the idea of "friendship first, competition second". "The opening ceremony displayed Chengdu people’s hospitality, attempting to show Chengdu's local culture to the ping-pong players. Besides, we wish to pass the idea of ‘join hands and share the glory' as well as the concept of ‘friendship first' to all the players." In the following 10 days, the top athletes worldwide will compete in Chengdu, fighting for the two trophies representing the greatest honor.
