Launch of the Emblem and Slogan for the 4th Asian Para Games Hangzhou 20222

The Emblem: Ever Forward

Interpretation:The motif of the emblem comprises a posture of a wheelchaired athlete striving forward. A running track, formed by 10 semi-arc lines with a gradient ramp from purple to red and then yellow, stretches out into the distance, as with the surging Qiantang River tides. The athlete dashing forward in the wheelchair exudes dynamics, energy and passion. The motif resembles the flashing spoondrift of the Qiantang River tides, a fitting statement of the sublime heroism of the para-athletes persevering and challenging themselves. Beneath is the lettering denoting the host city and the year. The visuals and style of the Asian Para Games Emblem are in line with those of the Asian Games Emblem.
