CCTV news: Yanqing Division is one of the three major competition areas of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and it is also newly built from scratch. In Yanqing, what are the Winter Olympic venues and wonderful competitions?
Join hands in ice and snow, meet the Winter Olympics. Follow the helicopter of the Central Radio and Television Corporation to the Yanqing Competition Area and watch the Winter Olympics in the air.
Yanqing Racing Area built six Winter Olympic venues, including the National Alpine Ski Center and the National Bobsleigh Center, within an altitude of 500 meters to 2198 meters above sea level and an area of 16 square kilometers in Xiaohaituo Mountain.
Xue Feiyan: The first altitude of the Beijing Winter Olympics
Today's first stop is the National Alpine Ski Center we now see, which is also the first alpine skiing competition venue in mainland China that meets the standards of the Winter Olympics. Between the lofty mountains, there are long white and narrow ski trails, which are alpine skiing tracks. There are a total of 7 pistes, 3 of which are racing tracks and 4 are training tracks. The highest point of the National Alpine Ski Center is 2198 meters, which is the first altitude of all the venues of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, the total length of the track is 9.2 kilometers, stretching all the way down along the ridge, and the drop from the starting point to the end is 908 meters, creating the highest snow track drop in China. Because of its high drop and long slope characteristics, it looks like a swallow that is fluttering its wings from a distance, so it has an image and a good name "Snow Flying Swallow".
Known as "a jewel in the crown of the Winter Olympics", alpine skiing is one of the most challenging and ornamental Winter Olympic events.
Snow Dragon: "Snow F1" will produce 10 gold medals
Flying south along Haituo Mountain, we came to the National Bobsleigh Center, another competition venue in Yanqing.
From the air, the track of the National Bobsleigh Center winds through the ridge, just as the ancient poem says, "circling like a dragon", so it is also figuratively called "Snow Dragon".
The track of "Snow Dragon" consists of 16 corners with different angles and slopes, including the only distinctive 360-degree roundabout in the world. As the first bobsleigh track in China, during the Winter Olympics, it will undertake all the competitions in the three sports of bobsleigh, steel frame bobsleigh and bobsleigh. Bobsleigh is the fastest sport in the Winter Olympics and is also known as "Snow F1". The national bobsleigh center has a total length of about 1.9 kilometers, and the vertical drop is more than 120 meters, which is equivalent to more than 40 stories high, which also ensures that the fastest glide speed can reach about 140 kilometers per hour when athletes compete here.
Unlike many foreign bobsleigh tracks, the design team added a shaded roof to this track, which can minimize energy consumption while protecting athletes and tracks, highlighting the concept of green Winter Olympics.
Yanqing Winter Olympic Village: Dotted between the mountains and rivers to create a home for the game
Mountain forest venues and ecological Winter Olympics are the design concepts of the core area of Yanqing Competition Area. It is close to the National Bobsleigh Center, and now you can see the Winter Olympic Village in Yanqing. Yanqing Winter Olympic Village adopts a "mountain village" style architectural layout, and the semi-open courtyard is built on the mountain, which not only shows the cultural characteristics of the courtyard in northern China, but also does not break the mountain type and does not seize the mountain view, which can be said to be dotted between the mountains and rivers.
The opening of the curtain of the Beijing Winter Olympics coincides with the Chinese New Year Festival, and it can be seen that in the Winter Olympic Village in Yanqing, there are not only the olympic five rings, Beijing 2022, which are the logos of the Winter Olympics, but also many New Year elements, which will decorate this game home with special warmth and festivity.
The courtyard with the five-star red flag in the picture is the residence of the Chinese delegation in Yanqing Division, and this time the Chinese delegation has 26 athletes staying in yanqing Winter Olympic Village, participating in 4 sub-events and 21 sub-events of alpine skiing, snowmobiles, steel frame snowmobiles and sledding, and also look forward to the chinese athletes to achieve good results.
Unlike Beijing Winter Olympic Village and Zhangjiakou Winter Olympic Village, Yanqing Winter Olympic Village also has a major feature, that is, it can be passed by cable car. Athletes can take a cable car ride from the Winter Olympic Village and reach the departure platform of the National Alpine Ski Center "Snow Flying Swallow" in just 30 minutes.
Meticulous design, warm service, at this moment, Yanqing division, inside and outside the venue are ready, let us join hands with ice and snow, go to the Winter Olympics.
