I look forward to the success of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. I wish all the athletes all the best and hope they are not distracted by some "vignettes". Bless everyone. — Martin Charles, Ambassador of Dominica to China
"I firmly believe that the Winter Olympics in Beijing will be a well-organized and very interesting Olympic Games." A few days ago, during the Third China-Latin America Political Parties Forum held by the International Liaison Department of the CPC Central Committee, Colombian Ambassador to China Luis Monsalve said in an interview at the Beijing site that he had visited the construction of the living facilities for athletes at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, was very satisfied with the construction, and believed that athletes would enjoy very convenient living conditions when they came to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Monsalve still remembers the Beijing Summer Olympics 13 years ago, "Beijing will become the first city in the world to host both the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympic Games." In 2008, by hosting the Summer Olympics, Beijing presented the world with the image of an open, vibrant, modern metropolis. ”
At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Colombia sent 1 athlete and 4 athletes respectively to participate in alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and speed skating, and did not win medals.
In recent years, the Colombian government has stepped up its investment in winter sports, and speed skater Amaya won the silver medal at the third Winter Youth Olympics in early 2020. Monsalve revealed that 4 to 6 Colombian athletes will come to Beijing for the Winter Olympics.
Although dominica, the island nation of the Caribbean, will not send athletes to the Beijing Winter Olympics, Ambassador to China Martin Charles is also full of expectations for this global event. "I'm looking forward to being able to attend the Beijing Winter Olympics, so I'm not leaving China during this time to make sure I can get involved in this event in person." I hope that athletes from all over the world will come to Beijing to compete and look forward to their good results. ”
Speaking about the venues of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Charles said that he has visited and visited many Beijing Winter Olympic venues, which have impressed him. "The Communist Party of China and the Chinese government have built state-of-the-art venues and facilities for the Beijing Winter Olympics."
In 2008, Dominica Prime Minister Skerit and former Dominica President Liverpool came to China to observe the Olympic Games. Charles said: "It is a pity that due to the epidemic, many national leaders and audiences from all over the world cannot go to Beijing to watch the Winter Olympics, but I believe that the 2022 Winter Olympics will be a grand and wonderful sports event." ”
Monsalve said that under the influence of the new crown epidemic, the size of the participation in the Winter Olympics will be affected, "but I believe that many media will spread the wonderful pictures of the Winter Olympics to the world through video media, and this Winter Olympics will definitely be a very successful and wonderful Olympic Games." ”
"I would like to send my best wishes to the successful hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympics. I hope that this Winter Olympics can overcome the difficulties of the epidemic, achieve complete success, and show wonderful highlights. "Come on Beijing!" The two ambassadors wished the Beijing Winter Olympics.
