The ski jumping competition of the Beijing Winter Olympics was held in the beautiful and flowing "Snow Ruyi" venue, and Mr. Li undertook the distance measurement and refereeing work of the ski jumping project. According to the schedule of the Winter Olympic Games, before the Spring Festival on January 21, the judges arrived at the Zhangjiakou competition area to report and immediately put into intense pre-competition preparations, including surveying the venue, proofreading and measuring distances, watching videos about the competition, and participating in business learning.

Teacher Li and the members of the referee team wore heavy cotton clothes and snow boots, climbed more than 100 meters high stairs, overcame difficulties such as cold weather and limited mobility, and kept sticking to the side of the jumping track. In the game, they need to be highly concentrated in their thinking, lock their eyes in time, and be able to report the landing point position in a timely and accurate manner when all the athletes fly and land, and there can be no slack and slackness.
