According to the relevant person in charge of Beijing State-owned Assets Corporation, the "Bird's Nest" has successfully completed the full element and whole process rehearsal of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games on January 22, and will soon become the world's first Olympic venue to hold the opening and closing ceremonies of the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. The "Ice Cube" and "Ice Ribbon" have completed ice making at the Winter Olympic Circuit on January 23 and January 24, respectively. Before the end of January, the equipment and facilities of the three major venues will be further debugged in place to ensure that the hardware facilities such as the competition venue, technical system, lighting and sound, energy security, sports exhibition facilities, and landscape signs are fully in place.
