Moreover, the organizing committee awarded the Excellent Organization Award (formerly President Cup), the First Prize for Outstanding Contribution, the Sports Delegation Award, and the Best Competition Area. The Games have left a fruitful legacy, with the success of the competition promoting spiritual civilization.
