"I feel very honored to be the torchbearer of this Winter Olympics." At the Beijing Winter Olympic Park Torch Relay site, PwC Asia Pacific & China Chairman Baiji Zhao became the 242nd torchbearer of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. At the moment of holding the torch, he excitedly said that Beijing is the only city in the world that has hosted the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, which is a very special and meaningful experience.
PwC China has participated in and witnessed the "Double Olympics" in Beijing. In 2008, PwC China served the Beijing Olympic Games and helped to successfully host the Olympic Games, and in 2020, PwC China officially became the official financial accounting service provider for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, and deeply participated in the bidding and preparation support for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games. "It is a great honor to have the opportunity to continue to support the development of the country's sports industry." Zhao Baiji said.
The Torchbearers of the Winter Olympics come from all walks of life, and most of them have made outstanding achievements or made outstanding contributions in this system and field, and they are widely representative and advanced. Baiji Zhao is one of the five core members of PwC's Global Network Leadership Team, which determines the overall strategy of PwC's global network and sets standards for member institutions to follow together.
As a Winter Olympic torchbearer, Zhao Baiji hopes that through the Winter Olympic torch relay, health, happiness and vitality can be passed on to more people. At the same time, we also hope to make the Olympic spirit of "faster, higher, stronger and more united" continue to inspire people to innovate and pursue excellence. "I sincerely wish the Beijing Winter Olympics a complete success and achieve a win-win situation between the Olympic Movement and the development of the city and the region." He is full of expectations for the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics.
