On August 28, the program featured a segment where a group of CCTV anchors, including well-known faces such as Ma Fanshu, Wang Bingbing, and others, participated in an intense archery competition. The anchors' impressive skills and confidence on the field left many viewers in awe.
The enthusiasm and sportsmanship displayed by the anchors have won over the hearts of many Weibo users.

Each and every one of them is so beautiful, and how did they manage to hit the target with every shot?" Another user, "lyu pian pian", gushed, "Zhu Xun is truly a multi-talented CCTV host, I didn't know she had archery skills too! Her elegance and confidence are just wow!"
Many users praised the anchors for their dedication to learning and mastering the sport, saying that it inspired them to take up archery themselves. As one user, "央视频" (CCTV video), put it, "Just watching the CCTV anchors' passionate performance made me want to learn archery too!"
However, not all reactions were positive. Some users questioned the level of authenticity in the competition, with one user commenting, "Is this really a competition or just a show? It feels like they're just pretending to compete." Another user, "xiaoyuzi", sarcastically remarked, "What can't CCTV hosts do? They're so perfect, it's like they're trying to make everyone else feel inferior."
Despite some criticism, the majority of netizens were won over by the anchors' charm and athleticism. The program's hashtag "#被央视女主持人射箭惊艳到了" (#CCTVfemaleanchorsarchery) quickly trended on Weibo, with many users sharing their own reactions and praises for the anchors.

The success of the archery segment has sparked hopes that the program will continue to feature more sports and fitness-related content in the future. With their impressive performance, the CCTV anchors have set a high bar for themselves and have inspired a new generation of young people to take up sports and adopt a more active lifestyle.
