A magnificent picture of ice and snow, a song of struggle of the times.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The Beijing Winter Olympics is a major landmark event at an important historical node in China, an important opportunity to show the national image, promote national development and invigorate the national spirit, and has a strong traction on the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei." "Running the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics well is a major event for the party and the country, and it is our solemn commitment to the international community. It is glorious and significant to do a good job in the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics."
Looking back on the road of preparation for more than six years, under the guidance of the concept of "green, shared, open and clean", the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games have achieved fruitful results: competition venues and various infrastructures set a new benchmark for the Olympics, highlighting the characteristics of science, technology, wisdom, green and frugality; The coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has entered the fast lane, and Beijing’s "Double Olympics City" is shining, and the small town Chongli has grown into a ski resort; The goal of "driving 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports" has been achieved, and the people’s sense of gain and happiness has been continuously enhanced … …
The curtain is about to open We will honor our promise and present a simple, safe and wonderful Olympic Games to the world.
China’s wisdom writing China model
Organizing for the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games once again embodies the institutional advantages of the Party’s leadership and the national system, and concentrates on doing great things.
Venue construction is the top priority in the preparation for the Winter Olympics. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "It is necessary to highlight the characteristics of science and technology, wisdom, green and frugality, pay attention to the use of advanced scientific and technological means, strictly implement the requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection, protect the ecological environment and cultural relics, and show China style." "All construction and renovation projects must strive to become quality projects, and at the same time, we must fully consider the follow-up utilization, and don’t be greedy."
The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has brought great challenges to the preparations. The pace, objectives and standards of winter Olympics construction remain unchanged. By the end of 2020, all competition venues will be completed with high quality as scheduled, and related infrastructure construction will be completed simultaneously, meeting the requirements of testing activities. The builders of the Winter Olympics have carried forward the spirit of "nailing" to overcome one technical problem after another, and built a number of world-class quality projects with the wisdom of China and the speed of China.
All newly-built and renovated venues and facilities meet the standards of green buildings, and form demonstrations in saving resources, protecting the environment and treating wastes and wastewater, which not only meets the needs of the Games, but also leaves enough space for sustainable use after the Games. This not only embodies the concept of "sharing the Olympic Games", but also is an important connotation of "persisting in the centennial plan" in the construction of the Winter Olympics.
"These competition venues used by athletes during the games should be integrated into the daily life of the masses after the games, so that people can be as close and used as possible." Zhang Li, dean of the School of Architecture of Tsinghua University and head of the design of Zhangjiakou Division of Beijing Winter Olympics, said that both sides of the "Snow Ruyi" platform and the standard platform are designed with steps running from top to bottom, which is the unique design that fully considers the comprehensive utilization after the game.
The "small step" of venue construction is often behind the "key leap" of improving the ability of independent design and construction.
Snow Youlong, the national snowmobile and sleigh center in Yanqing Division, is the first track in China that meets the standards of the Winter Olympics. Without experience to follow, builders have overcome difficulties and embarked on a road of independent innovation. The 1.9-kilometer-long track was formed by one-time injection casting, and passed the certification of international organizations at one time, and more than 100 patents were accepted and authorized.
Maximizing the use of existing venues and facilities is a highlight of the preparatory work. The "Water Cube" has been transformed into an "Ice Cube", and Wukesong Sports Center can complete the "ice basket transformation" in only six hours. The National Gymnasium and the Capital Gymnasium have the ability to transform winter and summer projects in two directions through upgrading.
The high standards and new breakthroughs in the preparations for the Winter Olympics are the vivid practice of high-quality development, which promotes the close integration of winter Olympics construction and urban development. In 2020, the Sustainability Plan for Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games was released, focusing on the three goals of "positive environmental impact", "new regional development" and "better life", aiming to create a new situation in which everyone participates and benefits.
Taking the preparation for the Winter Olympics as an opportunity, we will write a new plan for improving the ecological environment, create a new model for regional and urban development, and create a new environment for human and social progress. This picture of Beijing Winter Olympics with the background of "Beautiful China" will leave a colorful page in the Olympic history.
Embody China’s wisdom and write China’s model. China has the determination and confidence to do all the preparatory work well, so that the world can see the great country style of "keeping promises and carrying out deeds".
In July 2015, when Beijing joined hands with Zhangjiakou to win the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, IOC President Bach once said that the Olympic Games were "given to people who can rest assured". Now that the opening ceremony is just around the corner, Bach said: "The preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics are excellent and smooth, and the wonderful venues, comprehensive epidemic prevention measures and advanced sustainable operation concepts are amazing."
Winter Olympics preparation and local development are comparable to Qi Fei.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Hosting the Winter Olympics is an important starting point for promoting the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and it must be planned and implemented as one, so that Beijing can compete with Hebei in Qi Fei."
Beijing-Zhangjia high-speed railway has built a "one-hour economic circle" in Beijing and Zhangjiakou; Driving on the Jingli Expressway, a picture with beautiful mountains and rivers and clear sky and blue water unfolds in front of us. The interconnection of inter-city transportation networks and the joint prevention and control of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei ecological environment have not only improved the quality of hosting the Winter Olympics, but also put regional coordinated development on the wing of take-off.
Wind power and photovoltaic power from Zhangjiakou lead to Beijing, and the Winter Olympics venues have achieved full coverage of "green electricity", which is the first time in the history of the Olympic Games. Taking the preparations for the Winter Olympics as an opportunity, Beijing and Hebei have comprehensively carried out special projects to control gas, sand and water, and improved the ecological environment in Beijing-Zhangjiakou area as a whole. From protecting every grass and tree, adding green, to building a "sponge" competition area, saving water resources, and then to low-carbon office operation, every detail of the preparations for the Winter Olympics is adding a model for green life.
"Hosting the Beijing Winter Olympics and the Winter Paralympics is not a one-shot deal. If it cannot be done, it will become ‘ Silent mountain forest ’ 。” Integrating the preparations for the Games into urban development, ecological construction and people’s livelihood, the traction and radiation effects of the Beijing Winter Olympics are increasingly apparent. Christopher Dolby, executive director of the Olympic Games Department of the International Olympic Committee, believes that the Olympic effect can contribute to the host city in 20 years or even longer, and promote the benign interaction between the Olympic Games and the host city. "Beijing has done it."
Chongli’s road to poverty alleviation is a vivid sample of the Winter Olympics promoting the economic and social development of the host city. Chongli used to be a national poverty-stricken county. In the past, when the mountains were closed by heavy snow, people were worried about traveling. Now, seven large ski resorts have been built in Chongli. Snow field construction, ski equipment sales, ice and snow training, catering, accommodation, leisure tourism and other related industries are booming. More and more local people have won the "snow rice bowl", and the happy days are getting better every day.
With the help of convenient transportation and rich sports and cultural resources in the region, the construction of Beijing-Zhangjia sports and cultural tourism belt is accelerating. By November, 2021, Zhangjiakou had signed 97 ice and snow industry projects. Focus on creating tourism products such as ice and snow sports experience, landscape outdoor sports, rural pastoral leisure, etc. The development model of "ice and snow sports+"promotes the expansion of the Beijing-Zhangjia sports and cultural tourism belt to "global" and "four seasons".
At the end of 2021, the ancient poplar stadium complex and the Games-time award plaza in Zhangjiakou were approved to be named as "Zhangjiakou Chongli Olympic Park" and "Zhangjiakou Olympic Award Plaza" respectively, and Yanqing Olympic Park was officially approved by the International Olympic Committee. After the Beijing Winter Olympics, high-level ice and snow events will continue to be held, mass ice and snow activities will be carried out, and local development will continue to be promoted.
The level of public services such as medical care, catering and accommodation in Yanqing and Zhangjiakou has gradually improved, laying a solid foundation for local economic and social development. Driven by the preparations for the Winter Olympics, the urban and rural areas have taken on a new look. Since 2016, Beijing and Zhangjiakou have focused on urban roads, public transportation, public service places and other fields, and increased the construction of barrier-free facilities. The transformation of blind roads, kerb ramps, barrier-free elevators, toilets and other low-level facilities has achieved remarkable results, which has promoted the continuous improvement of social civilization.
The vision of "creating a new model for the sustainable development of the Olympic Games and the region" has been gradually realized in the struggle.
The covenant of ice and snow drives public participation.
"The Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games are like a catapult, which can promote the leap-forward development of China’s ice and snow sports and ice and snow industry."
During the snow season, tourists from Nanshan Ski Resort in Beijing are weaving, and there is a scene of jubilation.
When bidding for the Winter Olympics, China put forward a beautiful vision of "driving 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports", which deeply touched the international community. The promise of the Winter Olympics came as scheduled, and the promise of China was successfully fulfilled — — By October 2021, the number of participants in the national ice and snow sports reached 346 million.
The growing number of participants in ice and snow sports benefits from the perfect popularization system of ice and snow sports. Once, "snow and ice did not enter Shanhaiguan". Nowadays, the ice and snow movement has made great strides in "spreading to the south and expanding to the east", from the small crowd to the public and from winter to the four seasons.
In Beijing, the "Double Olympic City", the "Happy Ice and Snow Season for Beijing Citizens" held for 8 consecutive years has become a good place for people to experience ice and snow sports, and wonderful activities such as parent-child interaction projects and youth skiing competitions have been staged in turn; In Harbin, which is endowed with unique ice and snow resources, the ice lantern garden party has become a beautiful business card of the "ice city", and professional ice sculpture competitions and ice and snow experience activities have attracted many citizens; In Shanghai, the World Figure Skating Championships, the China Tour of Urban Cross-country Skiing and other events have trained many ice and snow fans, and participating in ice and snow sports has become a new trend of urban life & HELIP; …
"There are more and more ice rinks and snow fields around us." This is the personal experience of many ice and snow lovers. In recent years, as the enthusiasm of the masses to participate in ice and snow sports continues to rise, the supply of ice and snow venues and facilities continues to accelerate. According to the data of the State Sports General Administration, by the beginning of 2021, there were 654 standard skating rinks and 803 indoor and outdoor ski resorts in China, increasing by 317% and 41% respectively compared with 2015.
Inside and outside the Great Wall, ice and snow sports have become fashionable; In the land of China, the national fitness boom is surging. From the development plan of ice and snow sports (2016— 2025) to the implementation outline of "Driving 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports" (2018— 2022) "; From "Opinions on Developing Ice and Snow Sports with the Opportunity of Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022" to "Sports Development Plan in the 14th Five-Year Plan", policy documents have been issued one after another, which describe the development blueprint, clarify the development path and promote the continuous warming of ice and snow sports.
"To build a sports power and a healthy China, the most fundamental thing is to enhance people’s physique and protect people’s health. This is an important aspect of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. " Organizing for the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games is like a big chess game. Mass sports and competitive sports are integrated, sports industry and sports culture are comparable to Qi Fei, and the sustainable development model of ice and snow sports has written vivid footnotes for the construction of a sports power and a healthy China, adding strong impetus.
The newly-built venues in the Winter Olympics, such as "Ice Ribbon" and Shougang Ski Jumping Platform, were designed to be open to the public after the games, which became new landmarks for people to enjoy the fun of ice and snow. Snow and ice sports have entered more primary and secondary school campuses, and tender smiles are filled with expectations for the future; A "snow caravan" full of snow and ice sports equipment goes deep into towns and villages, allowing more people to share the fruits of the Winter Olympics … … Looking back on the road of preparing for the Winter Olympics, the details of serving people’s livelihood are everywhere, and the people’s sense of gain and happiness converge into a common expectation for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The Research Report on the Development of Ice and Snow Industry in China in 2021 shows that the total scale of China’s ice and snow industry will increase from 270 billion yuan to 600 billion yuan from 2015 to 2020. According to the development plan of ice and snow sports (2016— In 2025), China’s ice and snow industry is expected to reach a trillion yuan scale in 2025. Behind the exciting figures, "cold resources" are turning into "hot economy", boosting the ice and snow industry to become a new economic growth point.
The world of ice and snow is full of charm. The wealth brought by the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics not only nourishes the ice and snow sports in China, but also boosts the development of winter sports in the world to a new level. Bach praised the Beijing Winter Olympics as "an unprecedented great achievement", and the global ice and snow movement will start a new era.
Snow and ice sports realize leap-forward development
"Life can have several fights, and it is worthwhile to fight. How can plum blossoms smell fragrant without some cold? "
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that promoting the leaping development of China’s ice and snow sports is an important part of achieving the goal of the second century, and it also creates a rare life opportunity for the vast number of ice and snow athletes.
The dream of the Winter Olympics is calling, and the athletes play the struggle movement with hard work. When the bid for the Winter Olympics was successful, about one third of the 109 events in the Beijing Winter Olympics were hardly carried out in China. Under the guidance of the goal of "full project development, full project team building and full project training", it has now fully blossomed.
The competition is wonderful, and the competition should also be brilliant. With the strategy of "expanding surface, fixing points, selecting elite soldiers and sprinting", many ice and snow projects have been realized from scratch and from weak to strong. 35 events, such as men’s parallel slalom and women’s obstacle pursuit, were all qualified for the Winter Olympics for the first time.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "Like our country’s road to becoming a powerful country, China’s ice and snow sports must also take the road of scientific and technological innovation. On the one hand, we must adhere to independent innovation, on the other hand, we must actively absorb the advanced technologies and training methods in the world, improve the training and competition level of China’s ice and snow sports as soon as possible, and provide technical support for promoting the leap-forward development of China’s ice and snow sports."
Innovative thinking, eclectic selection of materials, to open the door for more talented athletes; The empowerment of science and technology has inserted wings into the process of "strong and weak items and short boards" of ice and snow sports. A traction rope is matched with the high-speed ejection device of human body to help speed skaters practice corner technique; An acceleration curve helps the steel-frame snowmobile athletes understand how to exert their strength scientifically; A wind tunnel helps platform skiers master "flying against the wind" … …
In the ice and snow project training base of Beijing Erqi Factory, aerospace technology has been innovatively introduced into the project development. The six-degree-of-freedom electric simulation sports training system covers multiple ice and snow projects, which is combined with VR (Virtual Reality) technology and digital modeling technology of sports projects to provide realistic training environment for athletes and rich data for coaches. Therefore, ice and snow sports training is not affected by seasons and environment, and the training efficiency is greatly improved.
This season, the ice and snow athletes have made solid footprints on the road to preparation. The short track speed skating team won 7 gold, 3 silver and 6 bronze in 4 World Cups, and qualified for the full participation in the Winter Olympics. Gu Ailing won 6 gold medals, 2 silver medals and 1 bronze medal in the three events she participated in, becoming the first female athlete in the world to complete the 1440-degree somersault in two weeks. 17-year-old Su Yiming won the World Cup sub-championship of snowboarding platform, setting a new record for skiing in China.
Challenge yourself and break through the limit, which is the charm of ice and snow sports. Go forward bravely and pursue persistently, which is the persistence of ice and snow athletes. Veterans such as Cai Xuetong, Liu Jiayu, Xu Mengtao, Qi Guangpu and Jia Zongyang will set foot on the Winter Olympics for the fourth time, eager to show their best in the Winter Olympics at home.
"I hope to pass on China athletes’ sunshine and daring to fight, so that the whole world can see our high-spirited spirit." The 31-year-old Xu Mengtao won two World Cup races this season. She can get good results from the high-intensity competition of 9 days, 8 games and 12 jumps, relying on high-quality physical reserves and high-level scientific training.
“为了祖国，冲冲冲！不负人民，拼拼拼！”出征前，冬奥健儿在天安门广场观看升旗仪式，誓言中跃动着爱国情、拼搏心。“期待我们所有运动员都能在比赛中拼尽全力，拿出最好表现，为梦想冲刺。”平昌冬奥会短道速滑500米冠军武大靖满怀信心踏上征程；速度滑冰运动员宁忠岩本赛季在4站世界杯斩获3金2银，“北京冬奥会，我一定会全力以赴。”

“中国冰雪，加油！”
向世界展示中国风采
“我们不仅要办好一届冬奥盛会，而且要办出特色、办出精彩、办出独一无二来。”
最高领袖总书记指出，中国先后举办2008年北京奥运会、2014年南京青奥会和2022年北京冬奥会，激发了中国民众对奥林匹克运动的热情，推动了中国体育事业发展，对在全球传播奥林匹克精神发挥了重要作用。
Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games are not only a stage to show competitive strength and sportsmanship, but also a good opportunity to show China culture to the whole world. The emblem of Beijing Winter Olympics "Winter Dream" and the emblem of Beijing Winter Paralympics "Leap" outline the charm of Chinese characters; Use the sports icons displayed by seal cutting to perfectly blend traditional culture with ice and snow sports; The image of the medal "concentric" comes from the ancient concentric jade in China, and it is also the inheritance and development of the Beijing Olympic Games medal "gold inlaid jade" … … Blending with the traditional cultural elements of China, it bears the profound oriental cultural heritage and tells the story of China.
China’s elegant demeanor and China’s style also convey rich humanistic care. The prize bouquet of Beijing Winter Olympics adopts the intangible cultural heritage "Shanghai style knitting technology". One after another, "Flowers of Flour and Glory" embodies the efforts of the producers, who pin their expectations and blessings on the Winter Olympics with their wool, leaving athletes with an Olympic memory of "never fading".
Beijing Winter Olympic Village is designed with quadrangle concept, which will become a high-end talent apartment in Beijing after the Games, further enriching the cultural connotation of Beijing’s "Double Olympic City". Drawing lessons from the image of "flying" in Dunhuang murals, Shougang ski jumping platform realized the transformation and reuse of industrial heritage, and opened it to the public after the game to serve the public leisure and fitness activities; Just like China’s traditional "Jade Ruyi", the national ski jumping center "Snow Ruyi" shines brightly in the night sky. After the games, it can hold conferences, exhibitions and receive sightseeing, so as to give full play to the value of Olympic wealth.
Holding up the "Olympic model" with the "Chinese style", the Beijing Winter Olympics coincides with the Spring Festival in China. When Olympic culture meets Spring Festival culture and Great Wall culture, and different civilizations exchange and learn from each other, this ice and snow feast will present a more colorful side for the world.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The successful hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games will not only enhance our confidence in realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, but also help to show that our country and nation are committed to building a community of human destiny, sunny, prosperous and open, and enhance people’s understanding and understanding of China."
Under the five-ring flag, "Faster, higher and stronger — — The Olympic motto "More United" shines brightly. The Beijing Winter Olympics will be an important moment to bring the world together in the spirit of peace, friendship and unity. Bach said, "I believe that the effective measures taken by China will ensure the safe, smooth and successful holding of this Winter Olympics, so that athletes from all over the world can gather in Beijing to participate in the grand event! We have full confidence in this! "
"We all need love, so let’s hold hands." "We all have love to open all doors" … … The theme slogan promotion song "Together for the Future" of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics was warmly sung, and a sincere invitation was sent to the whole world.
The world looks forward to China, and China is ready. Let’s go to the ice and snow together, let’s go to the future together!
