"Go to Chongli and witness with your own eyes how the most populous country in the world strives to become a winter sports power." In 2019, the US "New York Times" listed Zhangjiakou Chongli as "the 52 most worthwhile tourist destinations in the world." "one. During the preparations for the Winter Olympics for a few years, Chongli, a remote town with no name in the past, has become a "ski town" fascinated by Chinese and foreign skiers.

The transformation of Chongli reflects the opportunities brought by the Beijing Winter Olympics for industrial take-off and economic development. Before bidding for the Winter Olympics, Chongli had only 4 ski resorts. Today, there are only 7 large ski resorts in this small city and 169 ski trails. In the 2018-2019 snow season, Chongli snow ticket sales exceeded one million, realizing tourism revenue of 2.05 billion yuan.

The opportunity for the development of ice and snow has given Chongli people a "snow rice bowl". Today, one out of every four people in Chongli is engaged in ice and snow sports related work, and the flock of ice and snow lovers has made the money of the local people bulge. In May 2019, Chongli achieved poverty alleviation.

It is not only Chongli that has been changed by ice and snow. In the national strategy for the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the driving and tandem role of the Beijing Winter Olympics has become more prominent. Through the preparation of the Beijing Winter Olympics, China has promoted all aspects of construction, and strived to deliver two excellent answers for the preparation of the Winter Olympics and local development.

In the past two years, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed rail was completed and opened to traffic, shortening the time from Beijing to Zhangjiakou to within one hour. The Jingli Expressway was completed, opening up a convenient passage from Beijing to Chongli. The unobstructed central artery of transportation brings Yanqing and Zhangjiakou into the "one-hour traffic circle" of the capital, which also paves the way for skiers to realize "freedom of skiing". Statistics show that in the year since the opening of the Beijing-Zhangzhou high-speed rail, more than 6.8 million passengers have been sent.

The Winter Olympics not only connected and activated the ice and snow economy and industrial development between Beijing and Hebei, but also gave birth to more achievements in the fields of transportation, environment, industry, and public services between the two places, achieving "flying together"-clean energy from Zhangbei Enter Beijing to make the Beijing Winter Olympics the first Olympic Games in the history of the Olympics to use all green and clean electricity; in order to meet the needs of the Olympics, Beijing will give full play to the capital's resource advantages, increase assistance to Zhangjiakou in various fields, and develop the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region The radiation leading role of the company continues to increase.

Recently, at the X Games Winter Games held in the United States, 17-year-old Chinese freestyle skier Gu Ailing won two golds and one bronze, becoming the first Chinese player to win the championship. Since officially representing China in the competition in 2019, this talented girl has emerged in the world arena and has become the star of hope in China's freestyle skiing event. Her optimistic and cheerful personality and seamless Chinese and English expressions have won the attention and love of ice and snow fans from all over the world.

Competitive events "strong summer and weak winter" and winter events "strong ice and weak snow" were the actual conditions of the development of ice and snow sports in China. Taking the Beijing Winter Olympics as an opportunity, China's ice and snow sports will make up for the lack of items, strengths and weaknesses, and promote high-quality development of sports in the new era. To this end, China has set the goal of achieving full coverage of ice and snow sports and the participation of all events in the Beijing Winter Olympics, and promoting the leapfrog development of ice and snow sports has become an important part of China's second centenary goal.

In the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the Chinese sports delegation participated in 55 events. In order to achieve the leapfrog goal of doubling the number of participating events and participating in all 109 events at the Beijing Winter Olympics, China Ice and Snow is facing a huge challenge from scratch to excellence. In more than two years, many ice and snow projects have been "made from scratch", and some projects have risen to the world's advanced level, which fully reflects the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the nationwide system, and the institutional advantages of concentrating power to do major tasks.

In the 2019-2020 season of international competitions, the total number of gold medals and medals won by the national training teams of China's ice and snow events exceeded the previous season. Chinese snow and ice athletes have maintained their status in advantageous events such as short track speed skating, figure skating, freestyle skiing aerials, snowboarding U-shaped venues, competing for gold and silver, and have made breakthroughs in steel-frame skiing, cross-country skiing and other projects .

Affected by the epidemic, starting in 2020, facing the challenges of large-scale cancellation of international events and disrupted training and competition rules, the Chinese Winter Olympics has worked hard to minimize the impact of the epidemic by strengthening physical fitness and organizing intra-team simulation competitions. , To complete the key tasks from "excellent soldiers" to "sprints". At present, all national training teams covering 109 events of the Beijing Winter Olympics have been established, and the number of players preparing for the Beijing Winter Olympics has been reduced from more than 1,100 at the end of 2019 to more than 500. In the sprint year of the Beijing Winter Olympics, China's ice and snow elite soldiers are fighting hard to attack the goals of the Winter Olympics.

"Under the challenge of the epidemic, the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics are progressing quite smoothly. This is almost a miracle." Recently, IOC President Bach used the term "miracle" to describe the progress of the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics.

The "Chinese miracle" of the Beijing Winter Olympics is reflected in all aspects of competition preparations. In 2020, the raging new crown pneumonia epidemic will bring severe challenges to global sports events. However, when 2020 comes to an end, all 12 competition venues for the Beijing Winter Olympics have been completed as scheduled, and the construction of related supporting infrastructure has also been completed simultaneously. High-profile venues such as the National Ski Jumping Center "Snow Ruyi" and the National Speed ​​Skating Stadium "Ice Ribbon" have been unveiled one after another, sending a grand invitation to ice and snow athletes all over the world.

To be unique, to be splendid, and to be unique-Chinese elements are particularly dazzling in the process of venue renovation and construction and visual image design. In the Chongli competition area, the National Ski Jumping Center is connected with the cross-country skiing center and the biathlon center through a plank road, forming a beautiful scene of "Bing Yuhuan holding hands and snowing wishfulness"; 30 Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics sports icons adopt Chinese traditions The form of seal carving is presented, which combines the form and spirit of ice and snow sports, the power and beauty of Chinese culture... Just like the Chinese seal and gold inlaid jade of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the power of Chinese culture transmitted by the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will be once again Amazing the world.

The Beijing Winter Olympics will have a Chinese style, with a more technological flavor. At the end of last year, the mascots of the Beijing Winter Olympics "Bingdundun" and "Xuerongrong" followed the "Chang'e-5" to travel to the moon and returned to the earth smoothly, creating a model of the integration and innovation of Olympic and aerospace science and technology. Not only that, many new technologies and techniques are also “firsts” in the construction and utilization of the Winter Olympic Games venues. As the legacy of the 2008 Olympic Games, the "Water Cube" will be transformed into an "Ice Cube" during the Winter Olympics, becoming the world's first "Ice Water Amphibian" venue integrating swimming and curling competitions; serving as the Beijing Winter Olympics The only newly built ice competition venue, "Ice Ribbon" has built the world's largest single-layer two-way orthogonal saddle-shaped cable net roof, the largest scale in the world, but the steel consumption is only 1/4 of the traditional roof...

Under the epidemic situation, behind China's firm fulfillment of its promises and advancement of the preparations for the Winter Olympics are its great power and responsibility. The orderly progress of the work of the Beijing Winter Olympics has brought more confidence to the world.

Speed ​​skating is a sport on ice that competes in speed. Speed ​​skating helps to improve physical and mental health, promote human metabolism, improve cardiopulmonary function, enhance cold resistance, and cultivate perseverance and tenacity. Speed ​​skating events are divided into four types: short distance, middle distance, long distance and all-around in accordance with the rules and regulations of the International Skating Union, each of which is divided into men's and women's groups. 500 meters, 1000 meters, 1500 meters.

　　Skating has a long history in the world. People living in cold regions in ancient times used ice skating as a means of transportation in the frozen rivers and lakes in winter. Later, with the progress of society, it gradually developed into a skating game until modern speed skating. The development of skating can be seen from the improvement of skating tools. Beginning in the 10th century, ice skates made of bone appeared to be used for skating. Around 1250, iron skates nailed to wooden boards were popular in the Netherlands, tied to shoes, and skated on the ice. In the 17th century, iron ice skates were improved. Someone invented tubular iron ice skates, which gave new development to speed skating!

　　The international speed skating competition began at the end of the 19th century. In 1889, the first international speed skating competition was held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Participating in 13 countries including the Netherlands and Norway, and agreed to hold a world competition every year in the future. In 1892, the International Skating Union was formally established. It is responsible for organizing competitions including speed skating and figure skating, and stipulates that the World Men’s Speed ​​Skating Championships will be held once a year. In 1893, the 1st World Men's Speed ​​Skating Championship was held; in 1936, the 1st World Women's Speed ​​Skating Championship was held. In 1924, the Winter Olympics was held for the first time, with only men's speed skating events; in 1960, women's speed skating events were added. The development of international speed skating has promoted the continuous improvement of speed skating performance. Before the 1950s, players from Norway and Finland ruled the roost, known as the "Nordic faction" in the world. In the 1950s, Soviet speed skating rose. In the 7th, 8th, and 9th Winter Olympics, the Soviet Union won the most gold medals and had an absolute advantage. In the 1960s, athletes from Norway, Sweden, and the Soviet Union competed for their strengths. Chinese athletes Wang Jinyu and Luo Zhihuan broke the world men's all-around record, and Luo Zhihuan won a gold medal in the world championship. In the early 1970s, A. Schenk of the Netherlands held a world record for many years. Entering the 1980s, the 13th Winter Olympics marked a high level of modern speed skating. In the 9 events of men and women, 63 people broke 106 Olympic records and 1 world record. The competition between Europe and the United States is fierce. In the past, the performances of Norway and the Soviet Union, which were powerful in the ice world, declined. However, E. Hayden of the United States won 5 gold medals and became a temporary hero!

Original title: The difference between the "two items" of the Winter Olympics

　　In the Winter Olympics, there are Nordic Biathlon and Biathlon competitions, both of which are "biathlon". What are the differences between them?

　　The Nordic Biathlon consists of cross-country skiing and ski jumping. It is the only event in the Winter Olympics that only has men's competitions. It requires athletes to have the ability to quickly cross-country and also have outstanding jumping ability. The Nordic two items in the Winter Olympics are first compared to platform jumping and then to skiing, with a gap of 2 to 3 hours. The Nordic Biathlon of the Beijing Winter Olympics was held in Zhangjiakou, and a total of 3 gold medals were produced, namely individual ski jumping standard/cross-country ski 10km, individual ski jumping/cross-country ski 10km, and group ski jumping/ Cross-country skiing 4×5 km relay.

　　The rules of ski jumping and cross-country skiing competitions are the same as those of individual events, and all cross-country skiing adopts free technique. Individual competitions are conducted in ski jumping competitions according to the draw and the order of points. The scores will determine the starting order and interval of the cross-country skiing competition. The start will be delayed by 4 seconds for each point behind, and the ranking will be arranged in the order of reaching the finish line. In the team competition, each team has 4 players who wear red, green, yellow, and blue bibs according to the order of appearance. They cannot be changed. The competition is first compared to ski jumping and then cross-country skiing. Cross-country skiing is held in a relay race. The first athlete starts in the same order. The interval is determined by the total score of the ski jumping team. The start is delayed by 1.33 seconds for every 1 minute behind. The second, third, and fourth athletes wait in the relay area and start again after a successful handover. The result of the fourth athlete at the finish determines the ranking of each team, and the first comer wins the championship.

　　Biathlon is derived from the military training subjects of the Nordic Middle Ages. One of the characteristics of this project is to insert 2 to 4 shots in the fierce skiing competition to test the player's ability to convert between movement and static.

　　The Beijing Winter Olympics Biathlon has 11 small events. The men’s events include 20 kilometers individual, 10 kilometers short distance, 12.5 kilometers chase, 15 kilometers group start, and 4×7.5 kilometers relay; women’s events include 15 kilometers individual and 7.5 kilometers short. Distance, 10km chase, 12.5km collective start, 4×6km relay and mixed relay competition of women's 2×6km relay + men's 2×7.5km relay.

A few days ago, Beijing Organizing Committee for the Winter Olympic Games held a forum on catering service and accommodation operation in the winter Paralympic Village. It reviewed and summarized the work of the previous stage and deployed tasks in the sprint stage.



Yang Shuan, vice chairman of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Winter Olympics, affirmed the work achievements and phased achievements of the Olympic Village headquarters. He hoped that all relevant units would enhance their sense of responsibility, mission and urgency, do a solid job in preparation, and realize the goal of "running the games on schedule, safely, jointly, simply and brilliantly".



Shen Qianfan, director of the Olympic Village Department of BOCOG, introduced the overall preparations for the Three Winter Olympic villages (winter Paralympic villages) in Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou. After the Olympic Village Department of BOCOG was established in April 2020, it completed the milestone task on schedule; smoothly promoted the operation management, established three Winter Olympic Village operation teams, completed the preparation of venue operation plan, delegation head manual and relevant policies and procedures, standardized the operation risk list and emergency plan, deepened the preparation of venue facilities manual; strengthened the connection with the daily work of the Paralympic Games department, Coordinate and promote the construction of barrier free facilities in winter Paralympic Village.



The next step of BOCOG will take the construction and operation of the Winter Olympic Village as the goal, take the milestone tasks of the Winter Olympic Games as the guidance, promote the construction of the Winter Olympic village step by step, strengthen the work communication and business exchange with the International Olympic Committee, continuously optimize the operation management, refine and improve the catering and accommodation services, and promote the implementation of logistics support.

he new crown pneumonia epidemic has brought a series of impacts on the preparations for the Winter Olympics and the Winter Paralympics. It is necessary to refine response measures and make every effort to overcome difficulties. Under the premise of normalized epidemic prevention and control, high standards and high quality are required to promote various activities. Organize work. It is necessary to scientifically and rationally arrange the construction schedule to ensure that all competition venues are completed within the year, meet the requirements of the test competition, and complete infrastructure construction simultaneously. It is necessary to carefully prepare for the test competition, ensure the safety of the event, and conduct a comprehensive actual test of the preparation work. It is necessary to do a good job in the operation of the venues to provide strong support for the smooth holding of the event. It is necessary to comprehensively promote the service guarantee for the games, formulate special Winter Olympics public health, major epidemic prevention and control work plans and emergency plans, and do anti-doping work with a "zero tolerance" attitude. It is necessary to carry out publicity and cultural activities, vigorously promote the Olympic spirit and spread the concept of the Beijing Winter Olympics. We must pay close attention to preparing for the Winter Olympics, improve the level of competition, and continue to promote the popularization and development of mass ice and snow sports.

As the National Speed ​​Skating Stadium is about to enter the ice-making process, the Beijing Winter Olympics test competition National Speed ​​Skating Stadium venue operation team is also officially in place and start to work. In the recent test game operation team site survey, members from various fields walked into the stadium and came to the survey points to understand the current situation of the stadium.

　　Wu Xiaonan said that the arrival of the operation team indicates that the various operation plans formulated in the early stage have entered the stage of implementation of the museum. For this iconic new venue, the relationship between things and things, things and people, and people has already begun. Of running-in. "Take the technical team as an example. They are responsible for timing during the game. At present, the structure of the computer room has been built, but the relevant timing and scoring facilities and equipment are not in place. The subsequent equipment installation, stringing, debugging and other tasks require the technical team and the construction team to work together. Completed. After the operation team enters the venue, first find their respective working positions, clarify responsibilities, identify deficiencies, and make up for what is missing, and finally achieve an effective connection between the end of the project construction and the operation of the venue, so as to truly enable the owner and the team to operate both parties Biting the buckle like a gear, and doing a solid foundation for the subsequent testing activities and other work, this is also the significance of the operation team entering the venue as soon as possible."

　　In this venue operation team, the medical and epidemic prevention team has attracted much attention. According to the requirements, each venue in the three major competition areas of the Beijing Winter Olympics will formulate a "one strategy, one strategy" epidemic prevention and control plan.

　　Li Xiaobei, deputy dean of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital and deputy director of medical and epidemic prevention of the National Speed ​​Skating Stadium, said that the medical and epidemic prevention plan of the venue has been initially formed. After the team enters the venue, it will begin to verify whether the content of the epidemic prevention streamline and other plans are reasonable and Make adjustments at any time. "We have established a professional medical and epidemic prevention team for the National Speed ​​Skating Stadium. In order to do a good job in the prevention of the new crown epidemic, we will design the best epidemic prevention streamline plan and zone management to enable the orderly flow of audiences, athletes and other groups and reduce personnel crossover. Gather, through professional management and control to ensure that the venues’ epidemic prevention standards meet the safety level. At the same time, we will sum up and make good use of the experience of serving the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and Beijing World Championships in Athletics, combined with the characteristics of winter sports, and provide targeted training. , So as to ensure the normal progress of the event and the health and safety of people."

In the winter sun, the National Speed ​​Skating Stadium ("Ice Ribbon") looks particularly beautiful. As a landmark new competition venue in the Beijing competition area of ​​the 2022 Winter Olympics, it has the largest all-ice design in Asia, with an ice surface area of ​​nearly 12,000 square meters. A few days ago, when I walked into the National Speed ​​Skating Hall, I saw that the ice-slab concrete structure of the venue had been completed, and a concrete floor of about 12,000 square meters was presented smoothly. What is surprising is that the largest difference in flatness of this huge concrete floor is no more than 5 mm.

　　Ready to make the "fastest ice"

　　Wu Xiaonan, deputy general manager of a state-owned company and chairman of the National Speed ​​Skating Hall Company, often describes the "ice ribbon" as "intensive farming, rising from the ground, weaving the sky, flying ribbons, the fastest ice and wisdom pavilion". He introduced that the ice slab concrete production of the National Speed ​​Skating Stadium has been completed, laying a solid foundation for the realization of the "fastest ice" in the next step. "In late October, after 48 hours of uninterrupted construction, we finally produced a complete concrete floor with a thickness of 17 cm. The highlight of this project is that we controlled the level of the entire floor to about 4 mm, which means that If a small steel ball is on the ground, it basically won't roll."

In the past few days, the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee has carefully organized to study and convey the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech when he heard the report on the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics on March 18. The staff of various departments of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee have stated that the important speech of the General Secretary pointed out the direction for the preparation work and boosted the confidence of all staff. They must follow the spirit of the important speech of the General Secretary and complete the various tasks with high standards and high quality. Project preparation work.

Xu Da of the General Planning Department stated that General Secretary Xi gave important instructions and clear arrangements for the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics. At present, the preparatory work has been fully launched, and a high-level and professional preparatory work team has been formed. 9 work departments and two operation centers have been established. All the main persons in charge of each department are in place, and other staff will continue as planned. In place. We have formulated an overall plan and decomposed the plan into specific tasks based on scientific methods and project management methods.

Secretary and Administration Department Guo Huaigang said that General Secretary Xi’s important speech pointed out the direction and requirements for the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics. General Secretary Xi specifically mentioned the need to strengthen system guarantees, organizational guarantees, and personnel guarantees. The Secretary and Administration Department will further strengthen internal coordination and external coordination, innovate mechanisms, and form a joint force to implement the spirit of the important speech of the General Secretary.

Making full preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics and the Winter Paralympics is one of the "three major things" Beijing must focus on. Over the past three years, Beijing has overcome numerous difficulties and advanced various Winter Olympics construction projects in an orderly manner in accordance with the requirement of "no moment can be stopped, no one step can be wrong, and no one day can not be missed". By the end of this month, all competition venues in the Beijing and Yanqing competition areas will have the conditions for the competition. "Silhouette of the Unknown" interviewed a group of representatives of Winter Olympic builders. Some of them have been fighting on the Xiaohaituo Mountain at an altitude of 2,198 meters, creating miracles one after another under the wind and snow; some of them are "Double Olympic builders" for reconstruction. Existing venues contribute wisdom; others practice the concept of green Olympics, and solve the problems of ecological protection and environmental protection of ice making. It is the tens of thousands of them who have created an amazing "Winter Olympic Speed".

Regarding the issue of personal information security, Guo Weimin said that the CPPCC National Committee has carried out a lot of work on personal information security and privacy protection, and specifically held relevant online political consultation and bi-weekly consultation forums. Many CPPCC members have submitted relevant proposals. The relevant departments have also adopted a series of measures. At present, the draft personal information protection law has been submitted to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for deliberation. "The promulgation and implementation of this law will play an important role in protecting the safety of personal information." Guo Weimin said.

　　The development of new technology has brought about the difficulty of using smart devices for the elderly. "In the era of intelligence, one cannot be less." Guo Weimin said that with the efforts of all parties, the problems encountered by the elderly in the era of intelligence are gradually alleviating. This year, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference will "actively respond to the aging of the population and promote balanced population development" as a key consultation plan, and organize CPPCC members to conduct in-depth research and discussion to provide reference for government decision-making.

There were more than 5,900 proposals made by committee members last year

　　Guo Weimin said that in the past year, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference has increased its efforts to negotiate and discuss politics. During the year, 23 important political consultation activities were held, 80 inspections and investigations were organized, more than 7,500 pieces of CPPCC information were submitted, and more than 5,900 proposals were submitted by committee members. The work of handling proposals has also been further increased, and good results have been achieved.

　　“If there is a major issue, there will be the work of the CPPCC, and you will see the members of the CPPCC.” Guo Weimin also introduced that the 13th CPPCC has strengthened network discussion and remote negotiation, and the combination of online and offline has become a new highlight. The CPPCC has also established 47 reading groups for CPPCC members and 4 reading groups for local CPPCC members on the committee’s mobile performance platform, with more than 140,000 exchanges and speeches. The committee members said that as long as you turn on your mobile phone, you can "open your books and discuss politics without stopping."

　　Carrying out international friendly exchanges is also an important function and work of the CPPCC National Committee. Guo Weimin introduced that up to now, the CPPCC has developed friendly exchanges with 337 organizations and institutions in 157 countries and 15 international and regional organizations.

"Under the challenge of the epidemic, the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics are progressing quite smoothly. This is almost a miracle." Recently, IOC President Bach used the term "miracle" to describe the progress of the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics.

The "Chinese miracle" of the Beijing Winter Olympics is reflected in all aspects of competition preparations. In 2020, the raging new crown pneumonia epidemic will bring severe challenges to global sports events. However, when 2020 comes to an end, all 12 competition venues for the Beijing Winter Olympics have been completed as scheduled, and the construction of related supporting infrastructure has also been completed simultaneously. High-profile venues such as the National Ski Jumping Center "Snow Ruyi" and the National Speed ​​Skating Stadium "Ice Ribbon" have been unveiled one after another, sending out a grand invitation to ice and snow athletes from all over the world.

To be unique, to be splendid, and to be unique-Chinese elements are particularly dazzling in the process of venue renovation and construction and visual image design. In the Chongli competition area, the National Ski Jumping Center is connected with the cross-country skiing center and the biathlon center through a plank road, forming a beautiful scene of "Bing Yuhuan holding hands and snowing wishfulness"; 30 Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics sports icons adopt Chinese traditions The form of seal cutting is presented, which combines the form and spirit of ice and snow sports, the power and beauty of Chinese culture... Just like the Chinese seal and gold inlaid jade of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the power of Chinese culture conveyed by the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will be once again Amazing the world.

The Beijing Winter Olympics will have a Chinese style, with a more technological flavor. At the end of last year, the mascots of the Beijing Winter Olympics "Bingdundun" and "Xuerongrong" followed the "Chang'e-5" to travel to the moon and returned to the earth smoothly, creating a model for the integration and innovation of Olympic and aerospace technology. Not only that, many new technologies and techniques are also “firsts” in the construction and utilization of the Winter Olympic Games venues. As the legacy of the 2008 Olympic Games, the "Water Cube" will be transformed into an "Ice Cube" during the Winter Olympics, becoming the world's first "Ice Water Amphibian" venue integrating swimming and curling competitions; serving as the Beijing Winter Olympics The only newly built ice competition venue, "Ice Ribbon" has built the world's largest single-layer two-way orthogonal saddle-shaped cable net roof, the largest scale in the world, but the steel consumption is only 1/4 of the traditional roof...

Under the epidemic situation, behind China's firm fulfillment of its promises and advancement of the preparations for the Winter Olympics are its great power and responsibility. The orderly progress of the work of the Beijing Winter Olympics has brought more confidence to the world.

On March 30, the reporter learned from the operators of the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube that the two venues for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games have entered the rhythm of preparing for the 2022 Winter Olympics, and they have successively launched renovation and upgrades that meet the requirements of the Winter Olympics.

Bird's Nest builds smart venues with mobile ticket checking

The person in charge of the Bird's Nest operator stated that the Bird's Nest, as the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2022 Winter Olympics, does not have a competition event, so there is no need to make special modifications to the competition facilities in the stadium, but will start the construction of smart venues.

During the World Track and Field Championships last year, the Bird's Nest has achieved full WIFI coverage, and mobile Internet technology will be used in the Bird's Nest service in the future. Research on the construction of smart venues in terms of ticket sales, parking and seating guidelines, live broadcast interaction, merchandise sales, travel explanations, information push, and facility management. For example, using mobile phones to order food and get food delivery services in the venue.

In addition, starting from May 2016, the Bird’s Nest will create an “Olympic Cultural Journey” on the first floor, develop an “Olympic Experience Journey” on the second floor, and upgrade the “Top Beauty-Sky Corridor” on the fifth floor to create a north-south connection on the top of the Bird’s Nest. The in-depth experience tour forms a tourist route of the Bird’s Nest special venues that integrates visits, experiences, and commercial shopping.

As the two venue operation teams of the National Stadium and Wukesong Sports Center held an office work mobilization meeting a few days ago, all the competition venues (groups) of the Beijing Winter Olympics have all achieved front-line office work. This is an important sign of the transformation from the preparation of the Winter Olympics to the competition-time system.

　　The Beijing Winter Olympics plans to use 12 competition venues. According to the space scope and operating characteristics of the venues, a total of 9 venues (groups) operation teams will be formed. At present, all the first batch of staff in all venues (groups) are in place, involving more than 500 core personnel, composed of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, the local party committee government, venue owner units and other human resources, covering competition organization, venue management, personnel 25 business areas including management, technology, power, security, medical and epidemic prevention.

　　Yan Cheng, director of the Human Resources Department of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, said that the operation team is the main body of the venue operation work, and it is also the combat collective that undertakes front-line operation command, competition organization, game time service, operation guarantee, and resource allocation. The formation of a stadium team is an important symbol of stadiumization. Venueization, that is, a series of dynamic processes of integration and regulation at the venue level, such as human, financial, space resources, operation plans, etc., is an internationally accepted organizational model for the preparation of the Olympic Games and a necessary process to achieve efficient operation of venues.

　　Yao Hui, director of the venue management department of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, said that venue-based office is of great significance. First, the focus of the preparation work will be adjusted to the operation of the venue, and the series of operation plans, policy standards, and operating procedures formulated before will be tested in practice. ; The second is to gather the superior forces in the preparations into the operation team, and to find more than 98% of the problems in the venues and solve them in the venues; the third is to incorporate all staff into the venue management system, the team adopts the director responsibility system and "single command, two-way "Reporting" operation mode strives for efficient decision-making and efficient operation.

The person in charge of the Water Cube stated that the Water Cube infield competition hall will be transformed into a standard curling arena with 4 ice lanes before 2022, and some supporting facilities for the competition, such as temporary auditoriums, athletes’ locker rooms, barrier-free transportation facilities, Overlay rooms, etc., will be completed in due course according to future needs.

"The original indoor environment of the infield competition hall is suitable for swimming events, and cannot better meet the temperature regulations of various regions in curling competitions." The person in charge said that for this reason they actively demonstrated with experts in related fields and universities and research institutes and passed CFD Simulation analysis, upgrade the air conditioning system to achieve regional temperature control, reaching the ice surface temperature of -8.5℃, the height of 1.5 meters above the ice surface +10℃, and the stand temperature of 16℃-18℃, so that the athletes and spectators can be in a comfortable competition environment; The dehumidification function will be added, the artificial lighting mode will be adjusted, and the sound-absorbing screen will be added to ensure the quality of the ice surface and the TV broadcast effect, and improve the acoustic environment of the venue.

In terms of structural conversion, it is planned to adopt steel-wood structural support system and mobile ice-making equipment. After the conversion is completed, it can not only host the world's top curling events, but also have the ability to undertake figure skating, short-track speed skating and other events; and realize ice events, The flexible conversion between swimming events and venues enables the National Swimming Center to have both water cube and ice cube attributes.

At the same time, in order to promote the popularization and development of ice and snow sports and provide good training and warm-up conditions for ice events, the Water Cube plans to build an underground ice rink in South Square. The Water Cube South Square ice rink has a construction area of ​​about 8453 square meters, with a reserved curling track, mainly underground. The ice rink is expected to open to the outside world in the fourth quarter of next year.

The curling track of the South Square Ice Rink can provide a warm-up venue during the game, alleviate the scarcity of curling venues in Beijing, and help Chinese athletes improve their competitive level; after the game, the curling track will be permanently retained as an Olympic heritage for the masses to experience and open to the masses Skating promotes the popularization of ice and snow sports.

The person in charge of the Bird's Nest operator stated that the Bird's Nest, as the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2022 Winter Olympics, does not have a competition event, so there is no need to make special changes to the competition facilities in the stadium, but will start the construction of smart venues.

During the World Track and Field Championships last year, the Bird's Nest has achieved full WIFI coverage. In the future, mobile Internet technology will be used in the Bird's Nest service. Research on the construction of smart venues from the aspects of ticket sales, parking and seating guidelines, live broadcast interaction, merchandise sales, travel explanations, information push, and facility management. For example, using mobile phones to order food and get food delivery services in the venue.

In addition, starting from May 2016, the Bird’s Nest will create an “Olympic Cultural Journey” on the first floor, develop an “Olympic Experience Journey” on the second floor, and upgrade the “Top Beauty-Sky Corridor” on the fifth floor to create a north-south connection on the top of the Bird’s Nest. The in-depth experience tour forms a tourist route of the Bird’s Nest special venues integrating visits, experiences, and commercial shopping.

Original title: Digital currency pilot mainly focuses on the Winter Olympics scene

　　The 2020 4th China Internet Finance Forum opened on December 15. Li Yan, deputy director of the Municipal Financial Supervision Bureau, introduced that Beijing will vigorously promote digital currency pilot projects, which will mainly focus on the Winter Olympics scene.

　　The free trade zone policy of the "two zones" policy clearly proposes the construction of a digital currency experimental zone in Beijing. Li Yan revealed that currently under the leadership of the People's Bank of China, the municipal and local financial supervision bureaus are working with relevant departments to jointly promote digital currency pilots.

　　It was learned from the meeting that, in the next step, Beijing will continue to leverage the dual advantages of the science and technology innovation center and the national financial management center, seize the opportunities for the construction of the "two districts", and promote the capital's financial technology innovation application and financial industry digital transformation to achieve steady progress: Beijing The functional construction of the National Financial Management Center will be strengthened to provide guarantees for the development of financial infrastructure platforms such as payment and settlement, credit rating, registration and custody, deposit insurance, and financial statistics in Beijing, and support the use of technological means to improve service levels; the city will continue to promote financial The construction of the new science and technology zone will further support compliance with laws and regulations, carry out financial technology innovation activities, and continue to provide various supporting services for enterprises.

Original title: Ice Ribbon creates the fastest ice and smart pavilion

　　In the winter sun, the National Speed ​​Skating Stadium ("Ice Ribbon" looks particularly beautiful. As a landmark new competition venue in the Beijing competition area of ​​the 2022 Winter Olympics, it has the largest all-ice design in Asia, with an ice surface area of ​​nearly 12,000 square meters. A few days ago, when I walked into the National Speed ​​Skating Hall, I saw that the ice-slab concrete structure of the venue had been completed, and a concrete floor of about 12,000 square meters was presented smoothly. What is surprising is that the maximum level difference of this huge concrete floor does not exceed 5 mm.

　　Ready to make the "fastest ice"

　　Wu Xiaonan, deputy general manager of a state-owned company and chairman of the National Speed ​​Skating Stadium Company, often describes the "ice ribbon" as "intensive farming, rising from the ground, weaving the sky, flying ribbons, the fastest ice and wisdom pavilion". He said that the ice slab concrete of the National Speed ​​Skating Stadium has been completed, laying a solid foundation for the realization of the "fastest ice" in the next step. "In late October, after 48 hours of uninterrupted construction, we finally produced a complete concrete floor with a thickness of 17 cm. The highlight of this project is that we controlled the level of the entire floor to about 4 mm, which means that If a small steel ball is on the ground, it basically won't roll."

　　The National Speed ​​Skating Stadium uses a carbon dioxide transcritical direct cooling system, and stainless steel coils are covered under the concrete floor, which is also the most important equipment for ice making. When ice making officially begins, carbon dioxide will fill all stainless steel coils in a liquid state. Considering the pressure that liquid carbon dioxide brings to the pipeline, the construction party chooses to use stainless steel coils that are not easy to corrode and have strong pressure resistance. However, the seemingly simple laying of stainless steel pipes has extremely stringent requirements.

　　"The first thing is to ensure airtightness. The 12,000 square meters of ground is covered by a circle of stainless steel refrigeration coils with an interval of 10 cm, with a cumulative length of nearly 120 kilometers. These stainless steel refrigeration coils are connected by welding with nearly 9,000 welds. The volume is very huge. When the carbon dioxide flows in the pipeline, the temperature is around minus 18 degrees Celsius, and the temperature of our ice board must be accurately controlled between minus 7 and minus 9.5 degrees Celsius according to the speed skating competition requirements. In addition, we must ensure that All the pipelines are on the same level after laying. These two requirements are also the fundamental guarantee for the realization of the "fastest ice" in the future." Wu Xiaonan said.

　　After the concrete floor maintenance and the commissioning of the electromechanical equipment are completed, the National Speed ​​Skating Stadium will officially start the ice making process. It is understood that ice making in stadiums is mainly divided into the steps of freezing bottom ice, spraying, drawing lines, and repairing ice. Before freezing the bottom ice, clean the site and remove dust to ensure that the overall environment meets the standards. Then rely on the long-term operation of the refrigeration system to reduce the surface temperature of the ice field to minus 5 degrees Celsius, and then start watering and ice making work on the field. It is estimated that it will take about two weeks for the "Ice Ribbon" to make ice for the first time. By then, the National Speed ​​Skating Stadium will achieve the "fastest ice".

The Winter Olympics are the Winter Olympics, and what we usually call the "Olympics" refers to the Summer Olympics. Like the Olympics, the Winter Olympics is also hosted by the International Olympic Committee and is a world winter sports event.

　　With the increasing popularity of ice and snow sports in Europe and the United States, Coubertin, the founder of the Modern Olympic Games, suggested that the Winter Olympics be held separately. This proposal became a reality by 1924. Before that, figure skating was added to the 4th Olympic Games in 1908, and ice hockey was added to the 7th Olympic Games in 1920. After the addition of figure skating and ice hockey to the Olympics, they have aroused great interest from the audience, but the weather conditions and other factors have also brought a lot of inconvenience to the Olympic organizers. In view of this, the need to separate the ice and snow events from the Olympics and to host the Winter Olympics separately has been increasing.

　　According to information provided by the official website of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics Bid Committee, the first Winter Olympics was held in Chamonix, France in 1924. At that time, there were 16 participating delegations with 258 participants. The competition had 6 major events and 16 minor events. In the end, Norway ranked first on the medal list.

　　The Winter Olympics were initially held every 4 years, and were held in the same year and in the same country as the Olympics. Starting from the 2nd Winter Olympics in 1928, the venues for the Winter Olympics and the Olympics were changed to different countries. Since 1994, the Winter Olympics and the Olympics have been held at intervals of two years. The 1992 Winter Olympics was the last Winter Olympics to be held in the same year as the Olympics. In order to stagger the time of the Winter Olympics and the Olympics, only the 1992 Winter Olympics and the 1994 Winter Olympics were held two years apart.

On February 4, the countdown to the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics was the first anniversary.

　　In the past few days, Wang Pin, a 23-year-old policeman from the Taizicheng Police Station of the Chongli Branch of the Public Security Bureau of Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, has been so busy that he seems to have endless energy. The young man joined the police last year. In the past year, he witnessed the establishment of the Prince City police station, the completion of Winter Olympic venues and supporting facilities such as "Xue Ruyi", and personally experienced the preparations for the Winter Olympic security. the work.

　　"In the new year, I will welcome the unprecedented test with a higher morale, and with a better mental outlook, I will contribute my strength to the successful hosting of the Winter Olympics." Wang Pin said excitedly.

　　The drums are rushing, and the mission urges!

　　Time goes back to half a month ago.

　　On January 19, General Secretary Xi Jinping arrived at Taizicheng Station by train along the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-speed Railway. He braved the severe cold and visited the Zhangjiakou competition area of ​​the Winter Olympics and the Winter Paralympics. He gave important instructions for the preparation of the Winter Olympics and made every effort for Zhangjiakou. Various preparations have further pointed out the way forward and provided fundamental follow-up.

　　This is the first time after 4 years that General Secretary Xi Jinping once again visited Zhangjiakou to inspect and guide the preparations for the Winter Olympics.

　　"The important instructions given by General Secretary Xi Jinping on the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics are the way forward for our work, and it is also a powerful driving force for the next step." Cheng Weiqing, deputy mayor of Zhangjiakou City and director of the Public Security Bureau Said.

　　Since the successful bid for the Beijing Winter Olympics, under the great attention and overall command of the Hebei Provincial Public Security Department, Zhangjiakou Public Security has focused on the main line of "focusing on the Winter Olympics, leaping over and catching up". Political loyalty and the strongest mission, do everything possible to be a loyal guardian of the Winter Olympics.

　　In 2020, the Zhangjiakou public security organs will continue to plan the Winter Olympics security "a game of chess" with all the police. In accordance with the requirements of the series of test activities security "home field, main body, main responsibility", the main energy will be tilted to the series of test activities security preparation work . The security headquarters of the test activities was announced. The main leaders "in charge", centered on the target requirements of "preparatory work for the Winter Olympics" and "completion of security preparatory tasks for test activities", successively organized more than 40 party committees and special meetings, insisted on monthly scheduling, Weekly summarization, scientific drawing, real-time adjustment of the road map and schedule, to ensure that the responsibility for each task is assigned to the person, and the implementation is carried out on time.

　　The deployment is solid and strong, and the implementation of the idea and action.

　　This year, leaders at all levels of Hebei Province attached great importance to the preparations for the Winter Olympics. Provincial Party Committee Secretary Wang Dongfeng, Governor Xu Qin, and Vice Governor Liu Kai visited Zhangjiakou for many times to conduct investigations, deploy and promote the preparation of the Winter Olympics and major security issues. ; Zhangjiakou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government conducted 28 special studies on Winter Olympics security related work throughout the year, and the Winter Olympics security work has entered a new stage.

　　This year, the Zhangjiakou Public Security Bureau revised and improved the Winter Olympics security and series of test activities plans and plans, and further clarified the 2022 Winter Olympics security command and coordination system, social security system, security special rectification actions, venue core security system, technology support system, The top-level design of the six major system construction plans including the security system has been fully rolled out.

Today is the first anniversary of the countdown to the Beijing Winter Olympics. This will be China's first Winter Olympics and Paralympics. Beijing will also become the world's first Double Olympics city to host the Summer and Winter Olympics.

　　Despite the challenge of the new crown epidemic, the 12 competition venues of the Winter Olympics have overcome many difficulties and delivered them on time at the end of 2020, injecting strong impetus into the Olympic movement in "uncertainty".

　　According to a survey conducted by a third-party company commissioned by the International Olympic Committee, Beijing’s bid to host the Winter Olympics has a support rate of more than 90% in China, while the support rates in Beijing and Zhangjiakou, where they are held, are as high as 92% and 99%, respectively. It is unique in the Olympic bid.

　　This editor randomly interviewed enthusiastic citizens. Many interviewees expressed their expectation for the success of the Beijing Winter Olympics. Young martial arts enthusiast Zhang said: I look forward to the early appearance of traditional Chinese sports on the Olympic stage, 11th in 1936. At the Berlin Olympics, the national martial arts performance team composed of Zheng Huaixian (formerly the chairman of the Chinese Wushu Association) and others showed the unique charm of traditional Chinese martial arts to the world for the first time. Since then, the martial arts bid for the Olympics has embarked on the long "Long March"...

　　Sports transcend national boundaries and races. Since its birth, the Olympics have represented the eternal pursuit of peace, unity and friendship. The President of the International Olympic Committee Bach said recently: Under the epidemic crisis, the whole world should unite to meet common challenges. The various practices of the Beijing Olympics have embodied the spirit of human unity to fight the crisis. The Beijing Winter Olympics can be called "the new Olympic benchmark."

　　On April 25, 2020, teams from 45 different countries to help Wushu enter the Olympics jointly released the "Proposal to the Global People" at the same time, calling for unity to fight the epidemic through video recording.

clock is ticking, and it keeps moving. Since Beijing and Zhangjiakou won the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympics on July 31, 2015, from the release of the emblems "Winter Dream" and "Feiyue" to the advent of the mascots "Bingdundun" and "Snow Rongrong", It has been delivered to the venues one after another. In the past five years or so, the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics have been steadily advancing, with high scores.

In 2020, despite the huge impact of the new crown epidemic on the world, China took the lead in controlling the domestic epidemic and realizing economic recovery, which created favorable conditions for the successful hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and the preparations for the events continued to be carried out in an orderly manner. .

2020, the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee successively publicly solicited medals, torches and uniforms online The design of the visual appearance of the company, the medal and torch design work has been completed. The color system and core graphics of the competition were also released during this year. The 30 "little red men" originating from the pinnacle of seal carving art "Han Yin" vividly demonstrated the radiant Chinese traditional culture and became the first dynamic sports in the history of the Winter Olympics icon.

Stadium construction has always attracted attention during the preparatory phase of the Olympic Games. According to the competition rules, the Beijing Winter Olympics will have 7 major events, 15 sub-events, and 109 minor events. 25 venues are planned to be used, 12 of which are competition venues.

Including the National Speed ​​Skating Stadium, Shougang Ski Jump, National Alpine Ski Center, National Snowmobile Center, National Ski Jumping Center, National Cross-Country Ski Center and other new venues, all competition venues in the three major competition areas of the Beijing Winter Olympics have been The construction will be completed by the end of 2020, and the construction of related supporting infrastructure will be completed simultaneously.

As the first newly completed competition venue in the Beijing competition area, the Shougang Ski Jump, which has undergone the test of the competition, is not only the world’s first permanently reserved ski jump, but also known as the "crystal shoe", it has also become a new urban area. Landmarks and Internet celebrities "check in" places.

Not only the appearance is unique and exquisite, the national speed skating stadium, which is "internal and external", has completed the first ice making on the track a few days ago, and has the conditions for the test competition.

Echoing the "Ice Ribbon", the National Aquatics Center "Water Cube" transformed into an "Ice Cube", becoming the world's first venue to achieve "water-to-ice conversion". The national ski jumping center, which is inspired by the traditional Chinese cultural image "Ruyi", has also taken off its mystery. "Xue Ruyi" and "Ice Jade Ring" hand in hand, set a number of world firsts while showing the beauty of China. Cutting-edge technology prepares for the Winter Olympics Added enough horsepower.

In the overall construction of the stadium, the concept of green and sustainability runs through. Statistics show that out of the 44 Winter Olympic venues and facilities, only 7 have been built to meet the needs of the Winter Olympics preparations, accounting for only 16% of the total. From "Bird's Nest" to "Water Cube", as Beijing became the "Double Olympic City", a number of "Double Olympic venues" came into being. Not only that, all newly built and renovated venues and facilities meet the green building standards, which paves the way for sustainable use in the future.

While the facilities are being completed one after another, the operation teams of all competition venues (groups) of the Beijing Winter Olympics will also achieve front-line office by the end of 2020. This is regarded as an important sign of the transformation of the preparation of the Winter Olympics to the game-time system.

With the deepening of preparations, taking the Beijing Winter Olympics as an opportunity, China's ice and snow sports are also expanding south, west, and east. Towards the goal of four seasons expansion. In the process of promoting the popularization and development of ice and snow sports, a series of supporting projects for the Winter Olympic Games represented by the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-speed Railway played an important role, further narrowing the distance between the general public and ice and snow sports.

Statistics show that as of the end of 2019, the number of national standard skating venues has increased from 157 to 388, and there are 770 ski resorts. Every year, more than 3,000 mass ice and snow activities such as the "National Public Ice and Snow Season" are carried out. More and more people are participating, and the torch of China's ice and snow sports is being passed to a wider area. These positive changes are inseparable from the orderly advancement of the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
