GUANGZHOU, China, June 21 -- The inaugural BRICS Games concluded in Guangzhou, China on Wednesday evening, attracting some 300 athletes from the five BRICS countries.

Each of the BRICS countries has its distinct strength in sports activities and profound culture of traditional sports," said Song Luzeng, Secretary General of the Chinese Olympic Committee, "Sport, as an international language, will unite the youth together for the brighter future of BRICS countries."
Vice Governor of Guangdong Province Deng Haiguang announced the closing of the 2017 BRICS Games.
These athletes from all five BRICS member countries - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, gathered in Guangzhou for five days to compete in 10 events of three sports - men's basketball, women's volleyball and Wushu.
