After the Beijing Winter Olympics, delegations from all countries began to embark on the road back to China, some of which had arrived safely, and some of which were still on their way back. Judging from the previous Olympic Games, whether it is the Summer Olympic Games or the Winter Olympic Games, the athletes who return with honors will receive a welcoming ceremony like a crowd. Previously, after the Tokyo Olympic Games, in addition to the grand welcome and celebration ceremony, some Olympic champions also carried out exchange activities to visit Hong Kong and Macao. At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, because they are the hosts, the Chinese athletes who won the Olympic championship at their doorstep can not only avoid the hardships of long-distance travel, but also share the joy of the champion with everyone at the first time.
And athletes from other countries, after returning home, what kind of "envy and jealousy" treatment do they enjoy?
The Dutch team, which won 8 gold, 5 silver and 4 bronze at the Beijing Winter Olympics, can be described as the most "magnificent" of many delegations. After 16 days of hard work, the "Orange Army" brought back 17 medals in Beijing, China, ranking 6th in the gold medal list. After returning home, the Dutch delegation was personally received by the king and queen. Such a powerful position and row of noodles has also surprised netizens around the world. Some netizens said, "The Dutch team is the most successful team in the Winter Olympics, and this treatment is difficult for athletes from some countries to enjoy even if they win the Olympic championship."
In many Winter Olympic events, speed skating is the traditional strength of the Dutch team, and at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the number of gold medals won by this project accounted for half of the 8 gold medals of the Dutch team. After returning home, the Russian Olympic Committee's Winter Olympic Corps was also welcomed by the people like a tsunami. At the VTB Stadium in Moscow, the leaders held a grand celebration for the Russian Olympic Committee's Winter Olympic Corps. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Russian Olympic Committee won 6 gold, 12 silver and 14 bronze, although the number of gold medals did not reach the top three, but they ranked second in the medal table with a score of 32 medals.
It is worth mentioning that Sherbakova, who won the women's singles championship in figure skating, spoke as a representative of the athletes, and she once again gave high praise to the Beijing Winter Olympics. Upon arrival at Incheon International Airport, the South Korean Winter Olympic delegation was greeted with countless flowers and applause. Many South Koreans spontaneously rushed to the airport to welcome the triumph of their own athletes. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the South Korean team won 2 gold, 5 silver and 2 bronze results, of which 2 gold medals all came from short track speed skating. At the airport, some Korean players were interviewed by various media outlets and interacted with fans.
Like the South Korean Winter Olympics delegation, the Japanese team was surrounded by fans who rushed to pick up after returning home, especially the "national treasure" Yusei, a short passage that took him 10 minutes to finish. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the gold medal list of the Japanese team was 3 gold, 6 silver and 9 bronze. After watching the grand situation of many foreign Winter Olympic delegations returning home, many domestic netizens have predicted that the celebration ceremony of the Chinese Winter Olympic Legion is not far away!
