According to the Associated Press in New York on January 20, the uniform of the American team participating in the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics contains a new heating technology. The jacket launched by official clothing sponsor Ralph Lauren Apparel Company on the 20th contains a smart honeycomb-like fabric inner layer, which can expand or contract according to temperature changes - all without the use of batteries. Previously, the U.S. team's clothing at the Tokyo Olympics and the Pingchang Winter Olympics used battery-powered cooling and heating technology.
At a time when the Ami Kerong mutation is still challenging, Aya Evans, a bronze medalist in the Bobsleigh event at the Sochi Winter Olympics who participated in the double bobsleigh event and a substitute athlete for this Winter Olympics, will soon travel to China, but she is not particularly worried. The hosts severely limited the audience and took other precautions.
Evans said: "Life in this Winter Olympic Village will be very different from the Winter Olympics I participated in before. I know this, because due to the COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control measures, there will not be much interaction and communication, and even other events will not be watched. But the Winter Olympics are about to take place, which is a fortunate thing. ”
