At 8:05 tonight, the prelude to the Beijing Winter Olympics will begin at the curling competition. The first event to be staged in the "Ice Cube", a double Olympic venue, will be the curling mixed doubles event.
Since January 24, "Ice Cube" entered the closed-loop work state of the competition, after 9 days of intense sprint preparation, the 36 business teams of "Ice Cube" have repeatedly run-in and drilled one by one, and have fully entered the state of competition operation, and more than 1,700 staff of various types have all been put in place. At present, the image landscape layout has been completed inside and outside the venue, the entire "ice cube" has a new look, and the blue and white matching venues are more crystal clear.
On January 31, curlers trained to prepare for the game.
Liu Dawei, deputy director of the media of the venue operation team, said that curling is the first competition started at the Beijing Winter Olympics and the longest cycle of competitions, from February 2 to 20, there are curling competitions every day. Meanwhile, on most match days, curling lasts from morning to night. In this case, the staff and volunteers of the "Ice Cube" media team served almost all day - 3 hours before the start of the game, that is, at 6 o'clock in the morning, they needed to go to work, and they did not finish their work until 3 hours after the end of the game, that is, at 1 a.m. the next day. "Even if there is only one reporter left in the workplace, we will wait for him to finish his work." Many of the volunteers are college students, but they are particularly able to endure hardships, no one backs down, and everyone wants to do a good job. Liu Dawei said.
