As an important carrier of excellent traditional Chinese culture, sports relics contain historical memories of multi-ethnic exchange and integration, as well as cultural genes of national identity. Their digital activation is not only a technological innovation for cultural heritage protection, but also a practical fulcrum for forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation. Using methods such as literature review, induction and deduction, based on General Secretary Xi Jinping's important discourse and instructions on "revitalizing and utilizing cultural relics" and "strengthening the sense of community of the Chinese nation", this study explains the logical path of digital revitalization of sports cultural relics to strengthen the sense of community of the Chinese nation, and explores practical strategies. Based on this, it explores practical strategies in conjunction with important statements made by General Secretary Xi Jinping. The research suggests that the digital revitalization of sports cultural relics has characteristics of technological integration, cultural interpretation, immersive experiences, and widespread dissemination. It demonstrates the value of promoting the protection and inheritance of cultural relics, helping to preserve the Chinese cultural context, enriching the forms of cultural relic display, enhancing the intuitive perception of the masses, promoting the widespread dissemination of culture, and expanding public access channels. The process of forging a sense of community for the Chinese nation follows the logical path of translating sports symbols, promoting cultural identity, activating collective memory, awakening identity, creating digital narrative connections, and activating emotional identity. Based on this, a practical strategy is proposed to extract ethnic cultural symbols, consolidate the foundation of identity resources, digitally reproduce historical scenes, enhance public interactive experiences, weave digital interactive narrative networks, and broaden cultural dissemination channels. The aim is to promote the creative transformation and innovative development of sports cultural relics and help strengthen the sense of community of the Chinese nation.
