In another month, the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics will open! Recently, the Beijing Winter Olympic Awards Bouquet was officially released, allowing many netizens to call romance! Different from the bouquets of flowers in previous Olympic Games, the bouquets of awards are woven for the first time using the "Haipai Velvet Thread Weaving Technique", which is handmade and can be preserved permanently. The ingenious design makes this "Olympic flower" not only "never wither", but also "unique".
In addition to the "Olympic Flower That Never Fades", what other amazing historical firsts and historical bests are there in this Winter Olympics? Let's take a look.
Write a new Olympic history! Beijing becomes the first "City of Double Olympics"
Welcome to Beijing in 2008; in 2022, together to the future!
As the first city ever to host both the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics, Beijing will write a new Olympic history. Looking forward to the most beautiful Chinese red in the Winter Olympic Games!
Green Olympics! The first Olympic Games with 100% green electricity
Low temperatures and humidity are the biggest challenges to the normal operation of electrical equipment. Therefore, most of the previous Winter Olympics have used diesel generators as a temporary power supply guarantee.
The concept of "green Olympics" runs through the entire process of preparing for and hosting the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, and at present, all 11 venues of the Beijing Winter Olympics have achieved green building certification. At the start of the Beijing Winter Olympics, all 12 competition venues will be powered by green and renewable energy for the first time in the world.
The most beautiful ice, green ice! For the first time, carbon dioxide ice making technology was used
In addition to the first use of all green energy, the construction of Beijing Winter Olympic venues also used carbon dioxide ice technology for the first time, which is currently the world's most advanced, environmentally friendly and energy-saving refrigeration technology, which is the first time in the history of the Winter Olympics.
It is understood that the efficiency of carbon dioxide ice making technology is 30% higher than that of traditional methods, the refrigeration is very uniform, the carbon emissions tend to be close to zero, and the ice surface temperature difference can be controlled within 0.5 degrees.
As a venue for figure skating and short track speed skating at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Capital Gymnasium uses the latest sound and photoelectric technology to create the "most beautiful ice", and can save more than 1 million kWh of electricity every year by recycling the waste heat generated during the refrigeration process.
Digital Winter Olympics! The world's first 5G full-coverage high-speed rail line
On the high mountain at an altitude of 2198 meters, videographers can broadcast wonderful events through 5G networks, passengers riding the Beijing-Zhang high-speed railway can watch ultra-high-definition videos on 5G networks, and experts can remotely guide the repair of communication equipment through VR glasses...
At present, the 5G signal fully covers the venues of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games and the roads connecting the venues, the construction of communication infrastructure in each competition area has been completed, and the base stations of the Beijing-Lizhou Expressway and the Beijing-Zhangjiang High-speed Railway have been completed.
The Beijing-Zhangjiang high-speed railway is an important commuter line for the Beijing Winter Olympics and the world's first high-speed rail line with full 5G coverage.
The "Chinese Medicine Experience Hall" entered the Olympic Games for the first time
In the Beijing Winter Olympic Village, a Chinese medicine experience hall has been specially set up, which is the first time that Chinese medicine culture has been displayed in a world-class competition.
In the experience hall, from the introduction of Chinese medicine knowledge, life knowledge to human meridian scanning, everything is readily available, conveying the magic of traditional Chinese medicine culture to the world.
In addition to the digital Winter Olympics, green Olympic Games, and traditional Chinese medicine entering the Olympic Games for the first time, these venues of the Beijing Winter Olympics are also impressive and write history!
The first in the world!" Snow Flying Sky will remain in use forever
The ski jump in Beijing's Shougang Park is decorated with the "flying streamer" elements and color matching in the Dunhuang murals, which is flexible and ethereal, also known as "snow flying sky", and is the first competition venue in the history of the Winter Olympics to be combined with the former industrial site. After the Beijing Winter Olympics, it will become the world's first ski jumping platform to be permanently retained.
"Ice Ribbon" set a record for the world's largest sports venue!
The National Speed Skating Hall "Ice Ribbon" is the iconic venue of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, surrounded by 22 crystalline and beautiful "ribbon"-like curved glass curtain walls, and together with the "Bird's Nest" and "Water Cube" to form the landmark building complex of Beijing's "Double Olympic City".
"Ice Ribbon" is currently the world's largest single-layer two-way orthogonal saddle-shaped cable mesh roof, using a "canopy" design, which can greatly save materials, and the amount of steel used is only a quarter of the traditional roof. It is also the world's first Winter Olympic speed skating venue to use carbon dioxide transcritical direct cold ice.
Lifelike "like" raw "Snow Ruyi" is the largest in the world!
The National Ski Jumping Center "Xue Ruyi" in Zhangjiakou District, Hebei Province, is the world's largest ski jumping venue and the world's only ski jumping resort built between valleys.
Its track has an "S" shaped curve, just like the "Ruyi" handle, and the vertical drop of the large jump platform is as high as 135 meters. The end-of-race zone is surrounded by three stands, where 6,000 spectators can enjoy the heroic flight and landing of athletes. Poke the video and look down on it from the air together.
A month later, let's go to the ice and snow covenant together and look forward to the future together!
