Is the Shougang Ski Jump a "nuclear power plant"? The athletes are gone

author:American Overseas Chinese Daily Network

Standing in a corner of Shijingshan District of Beijing, the Shougang Ski Jump is the venue of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, which was built in the long-suspended Shougang Old Industrial Park, with a ramp height of 64 meters and a length of 164 meters, which fully reflects the value of the transformation of industrial heritage sites. Under the blue sky, several cooling towers and large chimneys set off the ski jumping platform built with advanced technology, and this "industrial punk" wind is unique to the Olympic Games.

However, Western media with unclear truths have recently reported that the Cooling Tower of the Nuclear Power Plant is next to the Shougang Big Ski Jump, which has misled many netizens.

In this regard, the athletes who have experienced the charm of Shougang's big jump platform on the ground have been pinched to death by this "cyberpunk wind".

British freestyle skier Kirsty Muir said: "The venue is amazing, the big jump is very wild, it's a very cool place, the big jump is very wild, it's a very cool place, according to the Comprehensive Reuters and Associated Press.

France's Antoine Adelisse added: "I was a little disappointed the first time I stood on the jumping stage because usually what we see on the jumping platform is the view of the mountains. But when the lights come on, it's really magical."

According to the Associated Press, the better thing about the Shougang big jump is that you don't need a mountain to host large air events. In recent years, temporary jumpings have also been established in Boston's Fenway Park and Atlanta's Truist Park to bring mountain sports to the metropolis, rather than requiring the masses to trek to the native slopes of skiing and snowboarding, which has undoubtedly increased the popularity of skiing.

American freestyle skier Alex Hall said, "The crazy chimney-like stuff in the back is very cool, you can see the mountains behind you, you can see the temple on this side, and there is a city scene over there, and in this steel factory, you can see a lot of different views." ”

American freelance skier Nick Goepper said: "It felt like being in a virtual world, a place created by video games. ”

"If something like this could be rolled out all over the world, I think it would be super super cool." "It just brings the sport closer to the public," Goper said. (End)
