The second in the Winter Olympics series
Green Olympic Games, blooming "Ice and Snow Dream" in "Greenery"
At the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, there was such a scene that impressed the majority of netizens, that is, the main torch appeared in a surprising way. Replacing "ignition" with "no ignition" and replacing the burning fire with "micro-fire" fully embodies the concept of green environmental protection. Through the "one scene" of the opening ceremony, we can deeply appreciate that the concept of green Olympics has penetrated into all aspects of the Winter Olympic Games. Whether it is the construction of the venues of the Winter Olympic Games, the use of energy technology, or the advocacy of the concept of life, inside and outside the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, in every link and detail, we can feel that the "ice and snow covenant" of gathering in the "City of the Two Olympics" is so "green"!
Green Olympics is the in-depth practice of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains". Not long ago, Samaranch Jr., chairman of the Coordination Committee of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games of the International Olympic Committee, was interviewed and fully affirmed the concept of "green Olympics" of the Beijing Winter Olympics, believing that the Beijing Winter Olympics will become the "greenest" Olympic Games. As Chairman Samaranch Jr. said, the 26 venues in the three major competition areas of the Beijing Winter Olympics have achieved 100% green power supply for the first time in history. This means savings of 4.9 million tonnes of standard coal per year and a reduction of 12.8 million tonnes of CO2 emissions. From "the wind of Zhangbei lights up the lights of Beijing" to the national speed skating hall "ice ribbon" to become the world's first avenue speed skating hall using carbon dioxide transcritical direct cooling system to make ice, from the "animal channel" at the beginning of the construction of the Yanqing Competition Area to the Chongli Winter Olympic core area in Zhangjiakou at a rate of "100,000 mu +" per year afforestation and greening, from energy conservation and emission reduction to ecological governance, the Beijing Winter Olympics have slowed down the greenhouse effect in the hosting of the Games, provided a perfect competition venue and landscape guarantee in the construction, and guarded our green waters and green mountains.
Green Olympic Games is the embodiment of the power of science and technology to promote the high-quality development of the economy. "Water Cube" is the main swimming pool of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games, and during the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, it will be transformed into "Ice Cube" to undertake curling competitions. In the future, in addition to undertaking important curling competitions, Water Cube will also build a new mass underground ice rink in the South Square to provide ice sports services for ordinary people. In addition, at the construction site of various venues of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, there are many examples of scientific and technological forces boosting the green Olympic Games. The National Speed Skating Hall, Wukesong Sports Center and other Venues of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games use carbon dioxide transcritical direct cold ice making system, the ice surface temperature difference is controlled within 0.5 degrees Celsius, and the carbon emission is close to zero, this technology is applied to the major venues of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games on a large scale, and it is also the first time in the history of the Olympic Games. It is precisely the boost of these scientific and technological forces that has laid a solid foundation for the realization of the goal of "green Olympic Games".
Green Olympics is China's responsibility and commitment to the world family. The three major concepts of Beijing's bid to host the Winter Olympics are "athlete-centered, sustainable development and frugality", which is highly in line with the Olympic Agenda 2020. As the first of the four Olympic concepts of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and the Winter Paralympic Games, China must do what it says and does what it does. From the "135" green and low-carbon travel mode to the 1-hour traffic circle of the two places and three competition areas, we are pleased to see that green energy, green venues, green travel, etc. constitute the biggest highlight of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and green has become the brightest background color of the Beijing Winter Olympics. According to reports, the Winter Olympic venues will be fully open to the public after the game, and the newly built National Speed Skating Hall in Beijing can accommodate 2,000 people on ice at the same time after the game. It can be seen that from the bidding to the preparation to the post-game utilization, the original intention of the mainland's "green Olympic Games" has not changed.

The event has attracted the world's attention, and the world's attention is not only on the field. China's "Green Olympics" is not only to fulfill the "double carbon" commitment, but also to provide the world with a Chinese solution, Chinese wisdom and Chinese contribution on how to deal with the relationship between people and nature, development and protection. This kind of big country responsibility injects Chinese impetus into the Olympic Games, and also provides a Chinese plan for other cities to host the Olympic Games!
The Winter Olympics have arrived, let's meet together on ice and snow, and let the Winter Olympics write a wonderful chapter in the greenery! We have reason to believe that this Beijing Winter Olympics will surely leave a strong mark in the history of the Olympic Games!
