In mid-summer 2015, the 128th IOC plenary session was held in Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital. When the name Beijing came out of the mouth of the chairman of the International Olympic Committee Bach, all the dust settled and the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympics will be in China. On July 31, 2015 local time, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the 128th plenary meeting of the International Olympic Committee voted to make Beijing the host city of the 2022 Winter Olympics. This also makes Beijing the first city in hosting the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics.
The Olympic complex in the heart of the Chinese people is as rough as a deep-sea reef. Once upon a time, it was a dream that lasted a hundred years. And when humanity entered the 21st century, in just over a decade, China embraced the Olympics twice. To be more specific, from 2008 to 2022, the speed at which dreams become reality suddenly increases.
Due to the appreciation of the Olympics, I experienced the world sports stage of Chinese power in midsummer 12 years ago, and I am witnessing the transformation of other Olympics from zero to one in China. Today, September 22, 2020, the Beijing Winter Olympics have entered the 500-day countdown. Along this path, China has used diligence and sweat to tread on every footprint it has traveled.
The decision announced by Bach at the time turned China into a 7-year deal with the world. Since then, the Chinese ice and snowmen have accompanied the preparations for the Olympic Games and have worked hard together. There are many types of ice and snow sports, some of which were once blank in China, much less competing for qualifications for the Winter Olympics. However, with the encouragement of hosting the Winter Olympics, the belief has been strengthened that tens of thousands of Chinese athletes work hard and overcome difficulties, and there are countless ordinary people participating in ice and snow sports.
The hour hand slipped during the winter of 2018. At the 23 Olympic Winter Games held in Pyeongchang, South Korea, the Chinese delegation participated in 55 events, creating the largest event in the history of participation in the Olympic Games. of winter. The gold medal that was recorded at the closing time also posed a major challenge for the Chinese Expeditionary Army – to defend the host’s honor at the upcoming Winter Olympics, the current Olympic cycle is self-evident.
In order to steadily prepare for the Beijing Winter Olympics, the State General Sports Administration presented a strategic plan of “expansion, repair, optimization and speed.” 2020 is the year of the “good soldiers”.
However, an unexpected epidemic has swept the world and caused great problems for Chinese ice and snow athletes in their preparations. At present, about 30 training teams are spread over various bases to actively prepare for battle and make unremitting efforts to achieve the level of competition and improve the competition results. Sun Yuanfu, deputy director of the Winter Sports Management Center of the State General Sports Administration, also sent a positive signal to the outside world recently: the general level of athletes has improved significantly.
Qinhuangdao Training Base in Hebei, the site of physical fitness competition among Chinese ice and snow athletes.
In late July, Chinese ice and snow athletes held an unprecedented fitness competition. Approximately 30 national ice and snow event training teams launched a physical fitness “cloud contest” via video connections. 30-meter sprint, vertical jump, squat relative strength, pull-ups, bench press relative strength, 3000-meter run … the epidemic isolates each other, but cannot stop the Chinese snowman’s determination of load. In a special year, he still maintains a lively and vigorous posture. Perhaps only sports team members fighting on the front lines can understand the hard work behind it.
We firmly believe that no matter how hard you work, there is no profit. The tears and sweat shed at this point will eventually become the crystallization of victory in the arena 500 days later.
Athletes’ hard work will one day be known for their heroism on the field, and behind-the-scenes workers who have worked quietly are also helping the Beijing Winter Olympics in their own way.
Since so-called high-rise buildings sit on the ground, hosting an Olympic Games requires too many high-end hardware installations to match. The most important are the venues. As the world’s first “double Olympics” city to have hosted both the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics, Beijing has already revealed its brilliance.
Driving along the North Fourth Ring of Beijing, looking north, you will always see the magnificent Bird’s Nest and the Water Cube. Not only are they the “legacy” of the 12-year-old Summer Olympics, but they have also been integrated with the modern capital of Beijing. Two new city cards from an old historic capital.
After the “modified” Water Cube, the previous appearance can be changed to “Ice Cube” during the game, and the National Aquatics Center will also become the only double Olympic venue with ice and water sports services. The “Ice Ribbon” next to her will be more familiar to everyone … The addition of “new members” will accompany Beijing even more.
The Zhangjiakou competition area, which can be reached quickly by the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed train, is expected to debut in late October this year. When the main venues are officially completed, the test competition will begin one after another …
There are 13 venue construction projects in the Beijing competition area of the 2022 Winter Olympics. So far, the two projects of the Shougang Ski Jumping Center and the Comprehensive Training Center of the Management Center have been completed. of Winter Sports. The construction of 8 venues under construction, including the National Speed Skating Stadium (Ice Ribbon), Capital Stadium, National Aquatic Center (Ice Cube), Wukesong Stadium and National Stadium, has entered the final stage. By the end of this year, a total of 10 venues will be completed in the Beijing competition area.
A few days ago, the exterior eaves and model halls of the Beijing Winter Olympic Village were unveiled at the same time, and the “healthy buildings” system was adopted on a large scale for the first time, so that the concept of health was implemented throughout the construction. The Beijing Olympic Winter Village is reported to provide 2,338 beds during the Games and around 1,040 beds during the Paralympic Winter Games. It will soon become a public rental housing for talent in Beijing after the Games. Ao Asset’s “usable, manageable and sustainable” goals.
The President of the International Olympic Committee, Bach, believes that despite the epidemic, preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics are progressing smoothly, which is exciting. For the host, China, the whole preparation process has another meaning: the arrival of the Winter Olympics has really changed the destiny of many people.
On-site job fairs have started in Hebei departments and regions.
Chongli, located in the Zhangjiakou competition area, will hold most of the snow events, which will also bring many employment opportunities to the little-known city in the past. In 2019, more than 30,000 people were directly or indirectly involved in the ice and snow industry and tourism services, including more than 9,000 poor people in the past. In May 2019, Chongli withdrew from the ranks of the poor counties.
Of course, there are still many new elements that have been injected into the preparation process for the Winter Olympics recently, allowing a sporting event to spread to a wider field.
The first Beijing 2022-themed painted aircraft, “Winter Olympic Ice and Snow,” officially debuted at Capital International Airport earlier this month and completed its maiden flight to Chengdu on the same day. The design patterns and shapes of the flights have also woken up some netizen viewers and sparked heated discussions on the internet, with most of the comments received fully affirming the aesthetic.
In addition, the Beijing Winter Olympic Games Organizing Committee has also published three sets of educational materials, including the Chinese version of “Olympic Values Education”, the Chinese version of “Parallel Olympics Values Education” and the book knowledge “Into the Beijing Winter Olympics”. Among them, the first two sets of materials were developed by the International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee, respectively. These are general educational materials for young people around the world to present knowledge about the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Chinese version is the first to be released in China.
There are only 500 days left until the opening day of the Beijing Winter Olympics. To the outside world, it may be a milestone, but for athletes preparing for the Winter Olympics day and night, it’s just another 24 hours to do their best. In fact, there is no need to remind them, their hearts are always counting backwards and they race against time every day.
With the longing and anticipation of the Winter Olympics setting, many people are working hard at their posts. Athletes always prepare for battle with an attitude of speed, and the coaches by their side are also working hard for the team. Behind them are many unknown ordinary people who are doing ordinary and extraordinary work for the snowman and the Olympics in different ways.
In the past 500 days, every time the sun rises, the Beijing Winter Olympics is one step closer to us. So, keep going: the Beijing Winter Olympics and the Chinese snowman. (Finish)
