BEIJING Women's Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit 2.0 Hot Punch Grey UK , June 17 (Xinhua) -- The first-ever BRICS Games will get underway on Sunday in Southern China's metropolis of Guangzhou.
The opening ceremony is set to take place in just a few short hours, so it is worth it to pause for a moment and reflect on how the BRICS grouping is creating space for more than just purely economic exchanges.
The 2017 BRICS Games Women's Nike Air VaporMax 97 Silver Bullet UK , seen as a prelude to the upcoming 2017 BRICS Summit to be held in Xiamen, are a clear indication that economic and sporting development are closely linked.
And it is no coincidence that the first edition of the BRICS Games is being held in a year when China holds the rotating chair of the group. The Games themselves were suggested last year by Chinese President Xi Jinping as he attended the 2016 BRICS summit in Goa Men's Nike Air Vapormax CS Triple Black UK , India.
During that summit, President Xi compared the five BRICS economies to five fingers on the same hand.
Xi head of state in a country that is making great strides in the area of sports development and international exchange Men's Nike Vapormax Flyknit Team Red UK , and the BRICS Games are an opportunity for other emerging economies to take cues from China's leadership in this area.
Emerging economies are in a uniquely advantageous position when it comes to sports development and exchange.
Unlike in developed countries, where established and highly commercialized leagues suck up all the air in the room in many major sports Men's Nike Vapormax Flyknit Cool Grey UK , emerging economies must - by necessity - take a different approach. Countries like China view sports as, first and foremost Men's Nike Air VaporMax LACELESS Pure Platinum White UK , a matter of public concern that involves the people's happiness and welfare.
By competing in a spirit of friendly camaraderie with other developing and emerging economies at the BRICS Games, China will showcase its ability to harness the power of sports to make people's lives better at all levels of society.
This year's BRICS Games will comprise competitions in three categories: basketball Off-White X Nike Air Vapormax Black UK , women's U20 volleyball, and Wushu.
China has sent a 53-member strong delegation to compete in the Games. All in all Off-White X Nike Air Vapormax White UK , some 300 participants from BRICS countries will take part.

BEILUN， China， June 12 (Xinhua) -- Zhu Ting top scored for the third successive night as China wrapped up the first weekend of 2016 FIVB World Grand Prix by beating defending champions USA 3-1 (25-20， 25-19， 15-25， 25-23) in the FIVB volleyball World Grand Prix here on Sunday night.
Zhu， who had inspired China to victories against Thailand and Germany earlier this week， led her team again in scoring - with 17 points. US middle blocker Foluke Akinradewo finished with one point less.
A spike by Zhu and block by Xu opened the highly anticipated match with 3-0 for China. Gong Xiangyu added an ace for 6-2 and forced the US to ask for the first time-out. China entered first TTO 8-6 ahead and increased it to 12-8 after an ace by Ding Xia. With a good blocking play the US cut the gap to 22-20 and China called a time out. The break did help the host team， who ended the set with a spike by Zhang Changning at 25-20.
The second sets started with a close battle， with teams fighting point by point until 8-7 for China at first TTO. A few mistakes from the US and good offensive play of Xu Yunli put China 12-9 in front. An exchange of attack between Zhu and Akinradewo brought back a close game， but the Americans were still two points behind and called a time-out. That didn't help the team， as China continued its great play in block and attack with Zhang finishing the set with an ace at 25-19.
The US stormed in the third set with 4-1 lead， which melted to 8-6 at the first technical time out. Great performance for Jordan Larson-Burbach and inforced mistakes of China put the US 13-8 ahead. Both teams then exchanged spikes， but the US didn't let the set slip from their hands and sealed the deal with a spike of Christa Harmotto at 25-15.
The fourth set began with a close fight， but it was the US that took 8-6 lead at the first TTO. China quickly tied at 8-8， but Harmotto's kill blocks put USA back ahead. Good performance of Zhang and a challenge puts China back ahead at 13-11 with the lead increased to 19-15 when Zhu jumped in to help her team. Time out called by the US paid off with team chasing the score to 19-19. Tight fight continued with China staying a point ahead.
A block by Xu handed China first match point， but was saved with a spike by Kelsey Robinson. A challenge of Kelly Murphy's serve brought the US the point back， but China still had a match point. Another challenge called by the US was unsuccessful， proving that the ball went off the block.
Chinese coach Lang Ping tried to play down the significance of the first week success in the Grand Prix series.
"Although we won the title， it doesn't mean much， because this isn't a full-strength US squad. Some of their best players， such as their No. 1 setter， didn't come to Beilun. So we should not get carried away，" said Lang.
Earlier in the day， Thailand came from behind to defeat Germany 3-1 (16-25， 28-26， 25-22， 25-16) to finish third place.
Just like against China， Kongyot Ajcharaporn proved again to be one of the strongest weapons of Thailand， scoring 21 points for her team. Compared to the ma.
