Heavy snow did not disrupt the pace of the National Alpine Ski Center on February 13.
This morning, the first round of the alpine skiing men's giant slalom was held as scheduled. As soon as many athletes and media reporters went out, they already felt the strength of the various guarantee work in Yanqing.
As we all know, the National Alpine Ski Center is the first altitude of all the venues of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, with a total length of 9.2 kilometers, extending all the way down the ridge, with many slopes, large weather changes, etc., making it more difficult to guarantee the venue.
But in the arena, everything is in order, all because of their hard work.
Sanitation workers go to work at 3 a.m. to clear the snow from the road
Electric power workers ensure the normal operation of power facilities in the snow.
The cable car guided volunteers to their posts at 5:30 a.m. to remind athletes and media reporters to pay attention to safety
The vehicle dispatcher at the accommodation accurately guides the ride
They don't have time to dust off the snow on their hats and coats, they don't care about wiping off the white frost on their glasses, they don't care that their eyelashes and hair are already frozen... Countless staff in various business areas in the competition area have full horsepower, making the "Snow Flying Swallow" that has successfully started the race beautiful and warm.
