A lot of spectator friends who watched the game
Questions were asked after the game:
Why didn't the medals be awarded immediately after the Winter Olympics?
In fact, the awards format for the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics are different. After the Winter Olympic Games, a souvenir ceremony is usually held in the arena, followed by a grand award ceremony in a special award square, where medals are awarded, the national flag is raised and the national anthem is played.
The awards plaza is an important cultural feature that distinguishes the Winter Olympics from the Summer Olympics. This is because the weather is relatively cold during the Winter Olympics, and this tradition has been continued since the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics for the sake of the athletes' health.
There are three awards squares in the three divisions of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. During the Beijing Winter Olympics, Beijing Awards Plaza and Zhangjiakou Awards Plaza will be opened. During the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games, the Yanqing Winter Paralympic Awards Plaza and zhangjiakou Awards Plaza will be opened.
