In the future, the venues of the Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games will be fully utilized, and everyone may feel the charm of ice and snow sports in the place where Gu Ailing won the championship.
The competition venue is fully open

As the world's first permanently retained Winter Olympic ski jump, Shougang Ski Jump will be fully utilized all year round, mainly for hosting world-class events, professional athlete training, undertaking commercial activities for debut debuts and meeting the needs of citizens' cultural entertainment.
Guo Xiaomin, deputy general manager of Beijing Shougang Park Sports Center, said in an interview with the media that in the winter snow season, Shougang Park's self-operated "Ice and Snow Exchange" activity is planned to be held on the big jumping platform. This means that everyone has the opportunity to play in the snow where Gu Ailing won the championship.
In fact, not only the Shougang Ski Jump, but also all venues of the Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games will be open to the public after the game.

Yan Jiarong, spokesman for the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, said recently: "At present, all venues are actively preparing to open to the public as soon as possible. Many venues are scheduled to open to the public by May 1, while others, like Ice Cube, are scheduled to open to the public in April. ”
She said: "I think that the venues of the Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games belong not only to athletes, but also to everyone who loves sports. ”
Subsequent uses take many forms
According to Yan Jiarong, the post-race utilization of the venue is first of all to actively bid for and hold high-level events, and the relevant departments and owners have reached a framework agreement with the World Curling Federation, the International Snowmobile Federation, etc., and actively consult with the International Snow Federation, the International Biathlon Federation, etc., to bid for the World Cup and other international professional events.
In addition, the venue will also carry out cultural tourism and comprehensive development, and open to the public to meet the needs of the public ice and snow sports after the game. In terms of hosting events, after the Beijing Winter Olympic Games and the Winter Paralympic Games, the competition venues have accumulated experience. In the face of public opening, the venue has done a lot of preparatory work at the beginning of design and construction.

Taking the National Bobsleigh Center as an example, the track pre-designed and built a youth departure port to train teenagers to glide; a public experience departure gate is set up on the north side of the 380-degree spiral bend, and the vertical drop of the track is reduced from 121 meters of professional athletes to more than 40 meters, although the vertical drop is reduced but the taxiing experience is not reduced, which is conducive to ensuring the safety of ordinary coasters.
Some ice and snow sports are relatively small in China, with a small number of participants, and the design of their relevant venues also takes this situation into account, so that the venues can take into account the service of ice and snow sports and integrate into the daily activities of the people. For example, the summit club of "Snow Ruyi" sets up a multi-functional space, and the outstanding part can be used by more tourists to stroll and travel; the back end can be used for conferences, forums, exhibitions and other party activities.
The Winter Olympic Heritage serves the public
In 2008, the uniquely designed "Water Cube" stunned the world at the Beijing Olympic Games, and 14 years later, the "Water Cube" transformed into the "Ice Cube" and once again became the focus of the world's attention. The legacy of the Beijing Olympic Games will also play an important role in the future.
For ordinary citizens, the benefits of the Winter Olympic heritage are tangible.

During the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Wukesong Sports Center and the Capital Gymnasium in Haidian District hosted events. According to media reports, in the post-Winter Olympic era, Wukesong stadiums will set up youth sports clubs to carry out teaching and training; the capital gymnasium venue group will carry out professional ice training, mass sports and fitness, sports activities and other activities.
Some new venues, at the beginning of the design, have been designed with the public in mind. Li Sen, director of the Overall Planning Department of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, once introduced that the ice surface of the "Ice Ribbon" of the National Speed Skating Hall is a full ice surface design of 12,000 square meters, which was originally designed to consider how to open up to the public. The speed skating competition mainly uses a 400-meter track in the outer ring, and there will be two standard ice rinks in the core part of the field, which can accommodate 2,000 people on the ice at the same time after the race.
The Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games not only let Chinese appreciate the charm of ice and snow sports, but also left them valuable venue resources. In the future, people can exercise, relax, consume, and talk with relatives and friends in these venues, chat with parents, and recall the ice and snow event in 2022. (End)
