Swimming Olympic champion Wang Shun and a digital torchbearer jointly lit the cauldron at the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games on Saturday.
The Games' opening ceremony reached its climax with an unprecedented digital cauldron-lighting ceremony, wherein millions of torchbearers transformed the digital flames into a digital human figure.
Wang was one of the six athletes making the final relay in the stadium. The primary cauldron tower consists of 19 distinct columns arranged in a "wave" formation, representing the 19 editions of the Asian Games.
