The 2026 Beijing Municipal Youth Championships are delivering nonstop action as handball and wrestling events concluded on April 12, making way for table tennis, basketball, taekwondo, and ongoing baseball competitions across the city.
According to verified reports from Beijing municipal sources, the handball and wrestling finals took place at the Fangshan Yanshan Sports Gymnasium and the Shunyi District Sports Bureau No. 1 Basketball Gymnasium, respectively. Over a thousand young athletes from districts across Beijing competed in the five-day handball tournament and wrestling championship.

For Class B, Haidian again topped the boys’ division, while Dongcheng and Fangshan were runners-up and third-place finishers. In girls’ Class B, Xicheng won gold, with Fengtai and Haidian earning silver and bronze.
Athlete representative Run Jingqing reflected on the teamwork essential to success: “Personal ability alone cannot secure victory; only seamless coordination across positions allows a team to go further.” Liu Qianyu, who has played handball since second grade, shared that five years of balancing academics and training led to a national championship last year, reinforcing the value of perseverance.
The wrestling competition, also organized by the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Sports and the Beijing Municipal Education Commission, saw intense matches across weight classes, though specific medalists were not detailed in the available verified reports.
Following the conclusion of handball and wrestling, the championships transitioned seamlessly into table tennis, basketball, taekwondo, and baseball events, with baseball noted as actively progressing.
