【Winter Olympics Release Hall】
Beijing, 10 Feb (Guangming Daily) -- Zhao Weidong, spokesman for the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, said in response to a reporter's question on 10 February that the Shougang Ski Jump is the first competition venue in the history of the Winter Olympics to be directly integrated with the reuse of industrial heritage. This group of big jumps will not be demolished after the Beijing Winter Olympics, but will become the world's first permanently retained ski jump.
Zhao Weidong said that the Shougang Ski Jump is located in the industrial park of Shougang, "it is using the cooling tower and other industrial resources of the Capital Iron and Steel Company to upgrade and renovate, and it is also the world's first permanently retained and used ski jump."
"The big jump of the past Winter Olympics will be demolished after the end of the event, but the big jump will be preserved forever." Zhao Weidong said that the office of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee is in the Shougang Park, which is very close to the Shougang Big Jump, "My colleagues and I have been working here every day for the past few years. Mr. Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee, has also visited Shougang Park, and he has repeatedly regarded Shougang Park as a model for the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee to practice the concept of sustainable development and frugality in running the Olympic Games, calling it an amazing urban planning. ”
In recent days, Zhao Weidong has noticed that a number of foreign media have given full affirmation to the transformation of Shougang Park from an earlier industrial park into a cultural and sports leisure park.
At the press conference on the 10th, Mark Adams, media director of the International Olympic Committee, said that according to the ABC report, as of the fourth day after the start of the event, the Beijing Winter Olympics has become the highest-rated Winter Olympics in China. In addition, on NBC's Peacock TV digital platform, the Winter Olympics became the highest-rated one since the opening six days of the games, including daily prime time.
Ianis Exacos, CEO of the Olympic Broadcasting Service Company, revealed to reporters at the press conference on the 10th that the Broadcasting Time of the Tokyo Olympic Games just passed was 11,000 hours, and the Beijing Winter Olympics had reached more than 6,000 hours as of the 10th, which has created a new record in the broadcast history of the Winter Olympics.
Ianis also said that for the first time, Olympic Broadcasting Services has used 3D playback technology in winter projects. In addition, it has also conducted virtual analysis of some projects, especially those that are not well known to the general audience. This all benefits from the environment in which the competition is played, the technology is developing very well, and China's application of 5G technology is leading the world.
Ianis said that another feature of the Beijing Winter Olympics is the use of cloud technology, the importance of which is that we can produce content remotely and achieve timely transmission of signals. Cloud technology allows us to produce content without having to be on-site, without having to be in the host country. Compared with the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the number of broadcasters actually going to the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022 has decreased by 32%, but the content produced is extraordinary.
