When the flag of the Five Rings is flying on the Great Wall again, when the torch begins to pass in Beijing again, when the fireworks bloom over the "Bird's Nest"..... Beijing, the city, began to write the story of ice and snow after writing the story of the Summer Olympics.
A new transformation of the venue
"Water Cube" transformed into "Ice Cube", Wukesong Sports Center completed the conversion of ice hockey and basketball in 6 hours...
In addition to the National Speed Skating Hall and the Shougang Ski Jump, the competition venues of the Beijing 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics have all used the venues of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games: the National Aquatics Center, the National Gymnasium, the Wukesong Sports Center, the National Stadium, etc. These new landmarks left by the Beijing Olympic Games have become a paradise for public fitness, and will soon become a stage for the athletes of the Winter Olympics.
Pictures of the competition venue
Pierre Ducrey, director of Olympic operations at the International Olympic Committee, said: "Beijing will be the first city to host the Summer and Winter Olympics in the same city. As you can see, there are a lot of venues that were left over from 2008, which is a great thing, one venue that can be used as an aquatic center and then turned into a curling competition venue. Many of those who work for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics have experience with the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and there are many outstanding professionals who have participated in different types of Olympic Games. ”
The songs echo each other
"We See You in Beijing" is composed by Wang Pingjiu and composed by Chang Shilei. With the heroic voice of champions, the song conveys the joy and longing of the host Beijing to meet the world again in the name of the Olympics with poetic lyrics and flexible melodies.
"We see you in Beijing" is like a relaxed and pleasant greeting between friends, echoing with "Welcome to Beijing" created in 2008, which not only evokes people's warm memories of the Olympic Games, but also sings the glory and self-confidence of Beijing as a "city of the Two Olympic Games".
It has a common familiarity with the colloquial "Beijing welcomes you"; it also carries the glory of Beijing as a city of the Two Olympics. The lyrics of "We See You in Beijing" begin with "We said we would see each other again", recalling the farewells of friends from all over the world at the end of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and now the "goodbye" agreement is about to come true.
New technology entry
Compared with the previous Winter Olympics, the Beijing Winter Olympics will use the latest scientific and technological means to provide unprecedented live broadcasting and all-round coverage coverage for audiences around the world. The broadcast of the Beijing Winter Olympics will become the most technologically advanced Olympic Games in history.
Venues such as "Ice Ribbon" and Wukesong Sports Center have selected carbon dioxide transcritical refrigeration systems, the temperature difference on the ice surface is controlled within 0.5 °C, the carbon emissions are close to zero, and the integrated design of cold and heat is used to recycle the refrigeration waste heat, and the energy efficiency is improved by 30%-40%. The large-scale application of this technology to the Winter Olympics is also the first time in the history of the Olympic Games.
In addition, during the event, more than 700 hydrogen-fueled buses will provide and undertake various event support tasks such as convenient connection and athlete services in Yanqing and Zhangjiakou, and implement the concept of green, zero carbon and environmental protection.
A new era begins
As early as the Chinese government's bid to host the Beijing Winter Olympics, it proposed that China's biggest purpose is to bring 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports, which is also the commitment made by the Beijing Winter Olympics to the international community. IOC President Bach said that if China achieves the goal of more than 300 million people participating in ice and snow sports, it will be a great achievement that has never been seen before, and it will also become a major contribution to the Chinese people and the international Olympic movement in the Winter Olympic Games.
The Beijing Winter Olympics ignited people's enthusiasm for ice and snow, ice and snow sports, ice and snow tourism and other "ice and snow economy" related industries, is heating up, after years of promotion and popularization, ice and snow sports have entered thousands of households. So far, the beautiful vision of "driving 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports" has become a reality in advance, and it has also opened a new era of global ice and snow sports.
Together towards the future
"Together to the future" has become the theme slogan of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, which is in line with it. This is China's sincere invitation to the world, conveying the beautiful expectations of 1.4 billion Chinese people - under the inspiration of the Olympic spirit, working together with the people of the world, watching out for each other and creating a better future.
Beijing, as the first "city of double Olympics" in the history of the Olympic Games, is continuing to show its unique charm to the world. Beijing, he's ready! Hand in hand to lead more athletes to the future, here with their hot "snow" youth, write their own gorgeous chapter!
