At noon today (3rd), the National Stadium officially entered the competition time. In the morning, an official observation team composed of representatives of the 2024 Paris Olympic Organizing Committee, representatives of the Milan 2026 Olympic Organizing Committee and officials of the International Olympic Committee inspected the operation and personnel management of the National Stadium, and said that the organization of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games was outstanding and excellent, providing valuable experience for the subsequent host countries.
From how the number of staff is determined, when the staff enters the venue, how volunteers train, how to get more than 1,000 staff to be twisted into a rope, such a nuanced question comes from the officials of the Paris and Milan Olympic Organizing Committees. 114 people from the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee, the Gangwon-do Winter Youth Olympic Organizing Committee, the Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo Winter Olympic Organizing Committee, and the Brisbane Olympic Organizing Committee will go to 12 competition venues and 10 non-competition venues in Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou during the Beijing Winter Olympic Games to carry out more than 60 learning activities, involving venue operation, competition organization, event experience, landscape identification, brand protection, etc.
From the recruitment method, to the construction of online training software, to the transfer, catering, medical treatment and express delivery system of personnel in the closed loop, at today's exchange meeting, the Chinese staff made a detailed introduction to the organization of the event personnel. The members of the observation mission said that China has created many firsts in the preparation of the Winter Olympic Games, which will provide valuable experience for the preparation of the follow-up Olympic Games, especially the preparations for the Olympic Games in special periods.
Sandro Velopato, Head of Event Services at milano-Cortina d'Ampezzo: This was the first venue I visited, but I have felt that the organization of the competition has reached a very high level, and watching the game here seems to drag us back to my visit to Beijing in 2008. Chinese workers have always been known for their precision, and this phrase is verified here today. Many of the ways of recruiting and training are new, especially the closed-loop management measures during the epidemic prevention and control period, which are unprecedented and operate very efficiently, and these experiences are crucial for the organization of the future Olympic Games.
The Observer Program is a learning event that inherits the knowledge, skills and experience of Olympic games preparations, with the aim of cultivating talents for the Olympic Games and promoting the sustainable development of the Olympic Movement. Beginning with the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, the International Olympic Committee has organized staff from the future Olympic Organizing Committee to participate in the observer program at each Olympic Games.
