The BRICS Games will be held online September 1-30, with athletes from China, Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa competing in three events – breakdancing, chess and wushu.
China is organizing the games as the host of the 14th BRICS Summit in June. China's sports minister Gao Zhidan said an online version of the games can enhance mutual understanding and people-to-people exchanges among participating countries in an innovative and safe way.
