It is worth mentioning that this Winter Olympics theme exhibition also welcomed the "guests of Beijing" - a single snowmobile for competition. The snowmobile event has a lot to do with Shanghai, with Shanghai 'Xiaoyuan' Shao Yijun participating in the men's four-man snowmobile race as the helmsman at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, becoming the first Shanghai athlete to appear at the Winter Olympics. After learning about Shanghai's indissoluble relationship with the snowmobile, the Winter Sports Management Center of the State General Administration of Sport deliberately invited this small but amazingly heavy snowmobile from the Beijing Yanqing Circuit to the Shanghai Sports Museum. Snowmobiling has witnessed the hard work and pursuit of excellence of Shanghai ice and snow athletes, and in the Shanghai Sports Museum Winter Olympics theme exhibition, this snowmobile will also welcome the arrival of the Beijing Winter Olympics with all visitors.

Chasing deer in the ice and snow Arena
Entering the first unit of the exhibition, the history of the Winter Olympics and the journey of China into the Winter Olympics came into view.
In 1894, when the International Olympic Committee was founded, the founder Coubertin already had the idea of integrating ice and snow sports into the Olympic system. Under his strong impetus, the first Winter Olympics in 1924 were finally held independently in Chamonix, France, and until the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, a total of 23 sessions were held.
China's ice and snow sports to the world began with reform and opening up. The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee in 1978 kicked off the prelude to reform and opening up, in 1979 China restored its legal status in the International Olympic Committee, in 1980 Chinese athletes appeared for the first time in the Winter Olympic Games, and even won the first Winter Olympic medal and the first Winter Olympic gold medal... Every step forward of China's ice and snow sports declares the spring breeze of reform and opening up. The 2022 Winter Olympics came to China nearly a hundred years after its founding, which not only brought expectations and dreams to the Chinese people, but also marked the beginning of China's stride towards an ice and snow sports power.

The second unit focuses on the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Here are the icons of 7 major events and 24 minor events of the Winter Olympic Games, which inherit the concept of the Chinese seal of the Beijing Olympic Games and are also an echo of the 2008 Olympic Games. However, this time the design uses the blade of the "Han Seal", the strokes are more concise and tough, and the weather is varied between the square inches. In addition, the second unit also showed the introduction of the venues in the three competition areas of the Winter Olympic Games, and the first large-scale panoramic pop-up book with the theme of ice and snow sports in China, "Open China's Ice and Snow", was also displayed here.
