Nearly half of the athletes arrived in China for training The facilities of the Winter Olympic venues were praised

According to the International Olympic Committee, nearly half of the athletes of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics have arrived in China. In the past few days, they have become familiar with 12 competition venues after training, and highly praised the preparation of the hosts, praising the first-class facilities of the venues.

Recently, a number of teams have familiarized themselves with the venue at the Zhangjiakou National Biathlon Center. Swedish biathlon coach Johannes Lucas said in an earlier interview: "The venue is great and the track is beautiful. The whole venue area is good and I think that's a good sign. ”

The alpine skiing facilities in Beijing's Yanqing division have been praised by American athletes. Ryan Siegler, a men's player on the U.S. team, said: "On the first day of skiing in Yanqing, the venue where we are about to compete is a pleasant surprise. The therapist and I explored the whole mountain and everything was clearly seen. Spectacular snow and enticing terrain will surely create excellent racing conditions. Team USA's official social media also quoted the passage.

In downtown Beijing, many ice sports competition venues are also busy, and many teams conduct speed skating training in the "ice ribbon". Several of the ice hockey teams that arrived in Beijing earlier have trained on ice at the National Gymnasium and Wukesong Sports Center. Athletes from China, Italy and the United States were the first figure skaters to appear at the Capital Gymnasium.

At The Zhangjiakou Genting Ski Park, freestyle skiers and snowboarders have begun training. Speaking about his first impressions of Genting Ski Park, Polish snowboarder Oskar Kvyatowski said: "We felt [here] it was like paradise. ”

"While riding the elevator, an American told me he hadn't seen such a well-prepared facility in a long time. Very pretty. The snow was great, the driving experience was enjoyable, and the perfect temperatures. Although the temperature will drop to around minus 10 degrees Celsius during the race, the sun is good, it will not feel cold at all, and there are no clouds, and it is expected that such good weather will continue until our game. He further explained.

His team mate Veronica Novachik said: "The snow was so good to slide up and I was impressed with the preparations. ”
