That day was "Europe Day", and Liu Jia's team was composed of more than 20 athletes from different European countries and regions. There are both Olympic and Paralympic athletes, as well as Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics events. In Liu Jia's words, this is like a "gathering of a big family."

"I think the Olympic Games is not only about competitive sports, it also conveys a message - the world is one family. Just like this collective transmission, although we come from all over the world and engage in different sports, we celebrate together and pass the torch together. I feel that everyone has this feeling in their hearts, that they hope the world will become better and better," Liu Jia said in an interview.

Many Olympic torchbearers are recommended by stakeholders such as cities, French sports federations, other national and regional Olympic committees, and sponsors. In this collective transfer of the baton, Liu Jia was recommended by the Austrian Olympic Committee and participated in the transfer as a representative of Austrian athletes.

Liu Jia was born in Beijing and went to Austria in 1997 when he was 15 years old. Later, he became an Austrian national and represented Austria in international competitions. In 1998, she swept three gold medals in women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles at the European Youth Championships. In 2005, she won the European Championship in the adult category.

Since 2000, Liu Jia has represented Austria in six consecutive Olympic Games. Her highlight was the 2016 Rio Olympics, where she participated in the opening ceremony as the flag bearer of the Austrian delegation.

"I was very shocked when I saw the arrival of the torch here yesterday. Not everyone of us athletes can be an Olympic champion, but I have been a flag bearer, and I can be a torch bearer today. I feel that being an athlete in this life is really worthwhile. "Liu Jia could not hide her excitement several hours after running the torch relay.

Currently, in addition to being an athlete, Liu Jia is also training local young table tennis players in Austria. At the same time, she also works in the food industry. Her company produces bread mix and has factories in China.
