International Online Report (Reporter Yan Wei): The Olympic flame of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics has been extinguished, but the unforgettable experience of the Beijing Winter Olympics will become a beautiful memory. For Dao Ang, head of Turkey's Beijing Winter Olympics delegation, he was impressed by the volunteers of the Winter Olympics. Dao Ang said in an interview with the Central Radio and Television Corporation a few days ago that the volunteers of the Beijing Winter Olympics are the best volunteers in all the large-scale events he has participated in.

Doang, who currently serves on Turkey's National Olympic Committee, has participated in many major sporting events, including the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Speaking of volunteers at the Beijing Winter Olympics, Dao Ang was beyond words of praise for them, "I want to emphasize once again that of all the major events I have participated in so far, the volunteers of the Beijing Winter Olympics have helped me the most. Without them, our job would be very difficult. Volunteers bridge the gap between us and the event. Here, once again, I would like to express my gratitude to the volunteers in China! ”

Daun said that during the Beijing Winter Olympics, there were four volunteers who provided assistance to the Turkish delegation. They are Li Wenyi and Li Wenxuan from Beijing Language and Culture University, Tian Yuxuan from Beijing University of Technology, and Wang Penglin from Beijing Second University of Foreign Chinese. Among the four, Li Wenyi, who majored in Turkish at Beijing Language and Culture University, was fluent in Turkish, which greatly facilitated many athletes in the Turkish delegation. "Many of the athletes and coaches in our delegation don't know English, so she (Li Wenyi) is very happy to be able to speak Turkish and understand us," Dawon said. Thanks to Wenyi Lee's help, our communication is smoother. Li Wenyi also became good friends with two female athletes of similar age in our delegation. ”

Daun said there were many volunteers for the Beijing Winter Olympics, and the four volunteers who assisted the Turkish delegation would be one of his fond memories of the Beijing Winter Olympics. He said that because the four volunteers were very friendly and hardworking, the members of the Turkish delegation also enthusiastically gave back to the volunteers, tried their best to watch the Turkish athletes participate in the competition with the volunteers, and hoped that the volunteers would also become a member of the Turkish delegation. "We try to go with the volunteers to watch the competitions with Turkish athletes, trying to make them feel like they are part of us and hope they enjoy the games as much as we do. Working with the volunteers, we are very happy and satisfied. ”
