On February 20, the 17-day Beijing Winter Olympics came to an end at the Bird's Nest at the National Stadium. The shock of the opening ceremony seems to be in front of you, and the closing ceremony is also full of Chinese romance and "double Olympic" feelings, which not only bring surprises to the audience, but also let the eyes of the world focus on Beijing, the "city of double Olympics".
After the opening ceremony, opening remarks and flag-raising ceremony, it was a 13-minute long admission of athletes from various delegations. At this time, the heavens and the earth are wrapped in Chinese knot lines, expressing the connection between China and the world, and also pinning on the Olympic spirit of "more unity". Accompanied by the classic song "Ode to Joy", representatives of athletes from all over the world slowly entered. Gao Tingyu, the flag bearer of the Chinese delegation and the gold medalist of the men's 500 meters in speed skating, carried Xu Mengtao, the gold medalist of the women's aerial skills of freestyle skiing, and set off a climax.
At the closing ceremony, Beijing also completed the handover of the Olympic flag with the host cities of the next Winter Olympic Games, Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.

As IOC President Bach announced the closure of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the main Olympic torch was gradually extinguished. It is worth mentioning that at the closing ceremony, Bach specifically used Chinese to say "thank you, China" and made a truly "unparalleled" high evaluation of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Although the Olympic torch is extinguished, the brilliant moments of the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games, the good memories, and the friendship of a lifetime are burning behind this curtain.
From the perspective of competition, this Winter Olympics, the Chinese sports delegation ended perfectly with a record of 9 gold, 4 silver and 2 bronze, whether it is the number of gold medals or medals, it has created the best results since participating in the Winter Olympics. From the breakthrough of zero in many participating projects to the best record in history being refreshed again and again, "breakthrough and transcendence" has become the key word of the Chinese legion in this Winter Olympic Games. Under the impetus of the Beijing Winter Olympics, China's winter sports have shown new achievements in leapfrog development.
At the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, the Chinese delegation sent the largest winter Olympic team in history composed of 387 people to achieve the goal of participating in 7 major events and 15 sub-events for the first time, and 176 ice and snow athletes participated in a total of 104 minor events. Raising the national flag and playing the national anthem is the highest dream of Chinese athletes to go all out. In 17 days, they fought hard and surpassed themselves, singing the Olympic song that belonged to China's ice and snow. From the short track speed skating team winning the first gold medal for the Chinese delegation at the Beijing Winter Olympics in the mixed team relay final, to the championships in the figure skating pair skating competition of Sui Wenjing and Han Cong, the Chinese delegation ended with a record of 9 gold, 4 silver and 2 bronze at the Winter Olympics, creating a new record for the number of gold medals and medals in the single Winter Olympics of the Chinese delegation. Among the 9 gold medals, 4 are from ice sports and 5 are from freestyle skiing; among the 15 medals, 6 are from ice sports and 9 are from snow sports, and China's winter sports are bidding farewell to "ice strength and snow weakness" and are ushering in a new development pattern.
The breakthrough in the achievements of the Chinese delegation is inseparable from the stable output of traditional advantageous projects. After completing the first gold task, the short track speed skating team won the men's 1000 meters championship and runner-up and the women's 3000 meters relay bronze medal in a row, handing over 2 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze answer sheet, which can be said to be a mission.

We've had an extraordinary four years, but no matter what, there have been many people who have supported us and many people who have helped us.
Fan Kexin
I feel like I've been waiting for this gold medal for too long and I'll always believe in the team.
Ren Ziwei
I really never thought that I would go through such a difficult four years, I fantasized countless times that I stood here and what I should say, but in fact, there was nothing to say here, just happy.
After experiencing the regret of the 0.43 point difference and the gold medal passing by at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Sui Wenjing and Han Cong finally realized their dream of Beijing, which is also the second time that China's pair skating has stood on the highest podium of the Olympic Games after 12 years after Shen Xue/Zhao Hongbo.
Han Cong
Chinese figure skater
We won the ninth gold medal of the Chinese delegation, which is the icing on the cake for the Chinese delegation, which makes us very proud and honored, and we are very grateful to the motherland for bringing us such a wonderful event. In this game, we have carried the pressure, gained growth, and gained these valuable experiences, which is an interpretation of the perfect result.
The representatives of China's winter sports ice advantage are short track speed skating and figure skating, and the traditional advantage of snow is freestyle skiing aerial skills. However, the spell of no gold medal after Han Xiaopeng continued into the mixed team competition of this Winter Olympics. However, in the individual competition, Xu Mengtao and Qi Guangpu, two Olympic elders of the four dynasties, both won gold with the highest difficulty, and won 2 gold and 1 silver in a single Olympic Games, and the Chinese freestyle skiing aerial skills team created a new history.

I think everyone is brave, and it is their determination to challenge the difficulty, but also motivated me to hit the high difficulty, and to make me achieve this final success.
In addition to the traditional advantage projects, the performance of the Chinese delegation has improved from the creation, innovation and breakthrough of other projects. For example, Gao Tingyu broke the Olympic record in the men's 500-meter event of speed skating with a time of 34.32 seconds and won the first gold in the history of the Chinese men's speed skating Winter Olympics.

They are all at the door of the house, who is used to whom, come, the whole thing, it's done.
Another example is the emergence of a group of "post-00" athletes such as Gu Ailing and Su Yiming, who contributed 4 gold and 1 silver to the Chinese delegation in freestyle skiing and snowboarding.

This moment has always been my dream since I was a child, I put this flag on my body, and then stood at the top of the Winter Olympics, really grateful, very excited.
Gu Ailing
Athlete of the Chinese freestyle ski team
Breaking any record is good, because it shows that we are learning, we are growing. I also feel very proud to see China Ice and Snow break their own records, and then have so many medals and so many good performances.
The success of the Chinese delegation in this Winter Olympic Games is by no means limited to the breakthrough of gold medals or medals, and it is of more universal significance to participate in all sports and comprehensively improve. At the Xueyoulong Circuit, Tianjin athlete Yan Wengang made Chinese's name recorded in the top three of the Winter Olympics bobsleigh for the first time with a hard skate in the last round.

Everyone did not slack off every day, and went all out to prepare for the Beijing Winter Olympics, I feel that everyone is working very hard, and I do not want to live up to them. Yin Zheng and I are very hard working, and I hope that everyone can show themselves better, which is what I hope.
After Yan Wengang, another Tianjin boy Ding Song also appeared at the Beijing Winter Olympics, and he joined hands with his snowmobiling teammates to create the best Olympic results in China's four-man snowmobile event; Akhnar Adak, also from Tianjin, also surpassed his former best self in the ice ribbon.

I feel that the people of Tianjin, my hometown has always supported me, I feel that they are right next to my track to watch me race exactly the same, I feel more motivated.
Akhnar Adak
Because I was an all-around athlete before, I felt that every aspect of myself should be improved, because I had not yet done my best, so I still had to continue to strengthen my training.
Alpine skiing parallel giant slalom and downhill, cross-country skiing, Nordic biathlon, bobsleigh, men's ice hockey, and ski jumping, the Beijing Winter Olympics recorded too many Chinese athletes from zero to one of the great leaps, they may not have the strength to compete for medals for the time being, but everyone's small step will eventually converge into a big step in the development of China's ice and snow sports, to drive more people to participate in ice and snow sports, and this is also the continuous upward and continuous development of China's ice and snow sports!
The Beijing Winter Olympics have come to an end, and the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games will be held from March 4 to 13. The Winter Paralympic Games will set up wheelchair curling, Paralympic ice hockey, Paralympic cross-country skiing, Paralympic biathlon, Paralympic alpine skiing, Paralympic snowboarding and other 6 major events and 78 sub-events, and This time China will participate in all 6 major events of the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games.
