He expects that this event will continue to pursue the dream of deep blue, be stable and far-reaching, and write a more brilliant chapter for Qingdao to build a "vibrant marine city and a wonderful and pleasant city".
Li Quanhai, President of the World Sailing Federation, is an old friend of Qingdao, the "capital of sailing", and he said emotionally in his speech that he is not only the president of the World Sailing Federation, but also a "contributor" to the 2008 Qingdao Olympic Regatta, and has extraordinary feelings for the city of Qingdao and the sailing events it hosts. As one of the most professional sailing events in China, CCOR has inherited the precious heritage of Olympic sailing and injected infinite vitality into Chinese sailing in the "post-Olympic era" and made outstanding contributions. At the same time, he took advantage of this opportunity to hope that the Chinese sailing and windsurfing team can compete bravely in this year's Paris Olympics and win gold and silver to win glory for the country.

This year's event will actively integrate with the Olympic Games and the Asian Games, use the new online information platform, open trajectory tracking and webcasting, and strive to create a pilot benchmark event in the "Sailing Event Organizing Guide", and further promote the standardization and professionalization of the event; In addition, under the development tone of symbiosis and dance with the city, this year's event will actively implement the requirements of "sports events into scenic spots, neighborhoods and business districts", give full play to the comprehensive benefits of sailing events, strive to promote the vitality and prosperity of the Olympic Sailing Scenic Area, and further help enhance the brand influence of Qingdao as the "City of Sailing".
The opening ceremony was always filled with a warm and festive atmosphere. The wonderful moments, emotional moments, and sincere smiling faces of the first 13 CCORS stirred everyone on the scene. At the end of the opening ceremony, 13 leading guests including Li Quanhai, Zhao Shengcun and Zang Aimin stepped onto the rostrum, and Zhang Xiaodong, chairman of the China Sailing and Windsurfing Association, announced the opening of the competition with passion. Subsequently, the leaders and guests on the stage pulled the starting handle in front of them together, and two huge "auspicious clouds" immediately rose on both sides of the rostrum. At this point, the 2024 China Sports Industry City Club International Regatta has officially kicked off.
On the morning of April 28, the 2024 China Sports Industry City Club International Regatta will officially beat the drums of war. It is a pity that because the field has always been affected by advection fog, the conditions for the start of the competition cannot be met, and the first day of the game can only be cancelled. This change gave the players an extra day to rest and lay the foundation for the exciting games ahead.
