Since IOC President Bach announced on July 31, 2015 that Beijing had won the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, the National Aquatics Center (Ice Cube), one of the venues of the Two Olympic Games, has begun to prepare for the curling competition of the Beijing Winter Olympics. After more than 6 years of hard work, Zhang Jie, director of the National Aquatics Center today, said with confidence: Ice Cube is ready for all preparations before the start of the competition, we are waiting for the arrival of athletes from all over the world, we are confident of starting the first shot for the Beijing Winter Olympics and achieving a good start to the competition work!
Today is the second year of the Year of the Tiger, Director Zhang Jie first said hello to all the readers, netizens and users of Beijing Daily, Beijing Evening News and Beijing Daily client who pay attention to and care about Ice Cube! I also hope that everyone can watch the Curling Events of the Beijing Winter Olympics held at Ice Cube during the Spring Festival holiday.
The reason why Director Zhang Jie is so confident comes from the fact that he has a team behind him with a strong fighting team, which is composed of 36 business areas of the national swimming stadium. In Director Zhang Jie's own words, the characteristics of the Ice Cube staff are as enthusiastic as fire and pure as ice. The stadium team currently in its format has nearly 1,800 staff members, including 675 volunteers. After several years of preparations, and the actual combat exercises of the "Meet in Beijing" series of test matches in the first and second half of last year, especially after nearly ten months of unremitting efforts, we are confident to make such a commitment: Ice Cube has made all preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics. Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year, we will usher in the first game of curling in this Winter Olympic Games, we are confident that we can achieve a smooth start, so that Ice Cube can achieve a wonderful 'opening pot' for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games."
