Recently, the National Aquatics Center "Ice Cube" is open to the public. As the first venue to welcome tourists with open arms after the Winter Olympic Games, "Ice Cube" has welcomed many citizens to experience the top curling arena and double Olympic culture. Winter Olympic volunteers from universities in the capital returned to the "Ice Cube" dressed in "Tianji Blue" and continued volunteer service work in the information desk, camera stand, award stand and other positions, telling the moving story of the Winter Olympics to tourists.
"Curling, called chess on ice, is a double test of physical and mental strength." Shi Xin, a volunteer for the Winter Olympics at Beijing Technology and Business University, explains the history and rules of curling to a young tourist. Three months of volunteer service experience has made him a "curling expert", from the athlete's clothing, ice skating requirements, to the standard action of throwing balls and wiping ice, every detail is difficult for him.
"On March 12, the Chinese wheelchair curling team won the gold medal at the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games, and I was there." Recalling the bits and pieces in the "Ice Cube", Cao Zeran, a volunteer of the School's Winter Olympics, is still excited. She said that putting on the "Tianji Blue" volunteer uniform again and walking into the familiar venue was as kind and warm as going home. "I am sincerely happy to popularize the knowledge of the Winter Olympics and share the stories of the Winter Olympics to tourists, and to see the children who come to visit enjoy it."
Ice Cube is open to the public and is expected to have more than 600 volunteers participating in volunteer service work. They answered questions at the information desk, introduced the content and location of the activities, reminded tourists to take epidemic prevention measures, explained the rules of the competition in the curling experience area, guided tourists to experience curling in an orderly manner, introduced the curling field model in the grandstand area, and took tourists to understand the changes of the "Ice Cube" from the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics... The Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games have come to an end, the spirit of the Winter Olympics will continue, and the legacy of the Winter Olympics is still shining.
