The lead up to the table tennis contests at the 15th National Games of China take place next month at the Galaxy Arena, embracing the spirit of ‘National Games for All’ with the unique integration of record-breaking ‘sports-meet-art’ activations
Galaxy Macau™ Integrated Resort has officially secured a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the “The largest display of coloured ping-pong/table tennis balls”. Mr. Buddy Lam, Director of Corporate Affairs of GEG, received the award certificate on behalf of GEG. Mr. Jacab Ip, the official adjudicator of GUINNESS WORLD RECORD™, Mr. Chan Chak Mo, President of the Sports and Olympic Committee of Macau, China and Mr. Ma Chi Seng, Secretary-General of the Sports and Olympic Committee of Macau, China, joined together for a photo moment.
The creation of this record-breaking artwork aims to engage travellers from around the world and local residents alike in the vibrant atmosphere of the nation’s highest-level sporting competition. It at the same time underscores Galaxy Entertainment Group’s (hereinafter referred to as “GEG”) long-standing commitment to promoting table tennis and fostering the integration of sports and creativity.
Members from the Galaxy Entertainment Group management paid visit during the curatorial stage of the artwork, expressing their unity with the 15 team members creating the record-breaking piece.
Composed of 7,000 multi-coloured table tennis balls and meticulously assembled by 15 dedicated team members from GEG, this visually stunning installation echoes the 15th National Games, and is now on display at “The Artistry of Table Tennis – Collectables & Art Exhibition”, currently held at Galaxy Macau’s East Square. It is also a remarkable demonstration of teamwork, reflecting the unity, professionalism, and artistic passion of the GEG team. A visually immersive centrepiece and a popular social media check-in spot, the piece captures a high-energy rally between two table tennis athletes, set against the backdrop of Galaxy Arena – Macau’s largest indoor arena.
The record-breaking artwork reifies GEG’s commitment to table tennis and championing the fusion of sport and creativity across both the Macau SAR and mainland China.
Receiving the award certificate at the ceremony on behalf of GEG, Mr. Buddy Lam, Director of Corporate Affairs of GEG, remarked: “This record-breaking art installation of the largest display of coloured ping-pong /table tennis balls demonstrates GEG’s unwavering support for the development of sports in Macau, particularly the advancement of table tennis. It also underscores the significance of Galaxy Arena as a premier venue for hosting major sporting events in the city. Remarkably, this marks the third time that GEG and its properties have been honoured with a Guinness World Record. We hope this achievement will further contribute to promoting the diversity of Macau’s positioning as a ‘World Centre of Tourism and Leisure’.
This challenge strictly adhered to the specifications set by Guinness World Records, with an official adjudicator, and two witnesses Mr. Chan Chak Mo, President of the Sports and Olympic Committee of Macau, China and Mr. Ma Chi Seng, Secretary-General of the Sports and Olympic Committee of Macau, China present on-site to verify the achievement. It was confirmed that Galaxy Macau successfully created the largest display of coloured ping-pong/table tennis balls using 7,000 coloured table tennis balls, setting a new world record for this category.
The artwork design draws inspiration from the spirit of sport itself. Table tennis – a game that demands speed, precision, and unwavering focus – perfectly embodies the resilience and passion of athletes. More than a static display, the piece is a dynamic visual narrative, blending vibrant colour and thoughtful composition to unite the energy of sport with the elegance of art.
Created with 7,000 vibrant table tennis balls by 15 GEG team members in just four hours, the record-breaking installation is a demonstration of exceptional unity, professionalism, and artistic passion of the GEG team.
As the proud host of the table tennis events for the 15th National Games, Galaxy Arena will take centre stage this November, welcoming elite athletes from across the nation to compete for glory. This landmark edition of the Games, jointly hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau, marks the first time the event has been held in the Greater Bay Area, symbolising a new era of unity and collaboration in Chinese sport.
