The "well-organized" Beijing Winter Olympics will be a "unique experience" – the liechtenstein team leader

Live bar February 1 news Liechtenstein Beijing Winter Olympics delegation leader Ker Bell recently said that the Beijing Winter Olympics is "well organized" and he is looking forward to a "unique Winter Olympics".

"The first impression [of the Beijing Winter Olympics] is that there is a very good Winter Olympic Village. I am now in the Winter Olympic Village in Yanqing, and I have been to Zhangjiakou before, and the buildings and facilities in the village are really great. Bell said in a video interview with Xinhua News Agency, "The first impression is that the organization of the (Winter Olympics) is very good, so I am looking forward to a wonderful Winter Olympics." ”

The Winter Olympic Village (January) in Yanqing District, Beijing, and Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, was officially opened to athletes and team officials on the 27th. "There are a lot of volunteers here and they are very friendly and helpful." Bell said.

Asked about the measures, Bell said: "Each member of the delegation has to undergo two nucleic acid tests before leaving. In addition, there is health monitoring before departure. After arriving, there was a test at the (Beijing) airport, and then we went into a short quarantine observation until the test results were confirmed to be negative. Each contestant is then subjected to a daily nucleic acid test. ”

The flag bearers of the Liechtenstein delegation at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics will be skiers Rifner and Pfivna. This is Rifner's first appearance at the Winter Olympics, while Pfivna will participate in the Winter Olympics for the third time after Sochi in 2014 and Pyeongchang in 2018.

"We're really a very small delegation, so we're happy and proud to have these athletes." "It's likely that these athletes won't win medals, but in the end they chose a tough path and walked hard, but they ended up succeeding in getting to the Winter Olympics," Bell said. They gave everything and really performed well. ”

Asked about dining in the Winter Olympic Village, Bell said: "Everyone has their own choices. There are Chinese food that I like very much, as well as Western food, halal food and so on. Everyone in the village was taken care of. ”

Bell also stressed that the Winter Olympic Village was decorated with Chinese elements and works of art to create a festive atmosphere. "There are a lot of special Chinese ornaments in the village. For example, in the Yanqing Winter Olympic Village, a small Great Wall was built with ice cubes, which looks really good. There are lanterns and posters everywhere, which makes us really realize that we are sure that there is no doubt that we are playing in China, which is good. ”

Looking ahead, Bell said his Olympic mission is far from over after the Beijing Winter Olympics. "We are also preparing young athletes for the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games. March is the European Youth Olympic Festival, a multi-sport event for young athletes. Our role is to provide an environment for athletes and associations where they can not only truly grow as athletes, but also drive their own life plans. So that's what we're doing, and it's going to continue after the Beijing Winter Olympics. ”
