The exterior design of the winter paralympic podium is consistent with that of the Winter Olympic Games, and a barrier-free ramp design has been added to meet the needs of athletes with disabilities.
Awards tray placement table
The award tray placement table will be used by the staff to place the tray with medals and souvenirs in advance at the award venue for the award guests to use. The award tray placement table is divided into two types: large and small stages, which are used for multi-person projects and single-player projects.
The exterior color adopts the words "Tianji Blue" and "Beijing 2022" seal, which is suitable for the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The material of the large platform cover is highly elastic and breathable knitted fabric, and both models of the platform are counterweighted, which fully considers the safety of the outdoor stadium in the strong wind environment.
