Economic Daily, Beijing, February 16 (Reporter Shen Hui) The 2022 Beijing News Center held a special press conference on the science and technology Winter Olympics on the 16th.
Since the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese sports delegation has performed well as a whole and achieved historic breakthroughs in several projects. These achievements cannot be separated from the strong support of science and technology for training.
In 2017, the national key research and development plan established the "Science and Technology Winter Olympics" key project to meet the actual needs of the Beijing Winter Olympics, deploying scientific research tasks around five major sectors: competition, competition, competition, safety, and demonstration.
It is understood that a total of 80 scientific research projects have been arranged and deployed, and a total of 212 technologies have been applied in the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Li Zhiquan, deputy director of the Science and Education Department and first-level inspector of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, introduced that the "Science and Technology Winter Olympics" project has provided support for the national team's selection of cross-border and cross-selection materials and scientific training plans.
For example, by studying the special ability characteristics of winter athletes and the key technologies of scientific material selection, it can provide references for cross-border and cross-item material selection.
By collecting various indicators and data of elite athletes, a training decision support system has been developed.
Huang Jing, director of the China Agenda 21 Management Center, introduced that the "Science and Technology Winter Olympics" is embodied in the organization of the competition, which is to deploy tasks around venue construction, weather forecasting, smart travel, torch development, opening and closing ceremonies, operation command, and carbon neutrality. , focusing on solving the actual needs of the Winter Olympics project, supporting the intelligent transformation of the Bird's Nest and Water Cube, hydrogen energy torch relay, technology display in the opening and closing ceremonies, etc., to provide support for the realization of high-quality competition.
"The 'Science and Technology Winter Olympics' not only meets the major scientific and technological needs for the preparation and participation of the Beijing Winter Olympics, but also will play a positive role in the high-quality economic and social development in the post-Olympic era," said Zhu Xuehua, director of the Department of Science and Technology for Social Development of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
On the one hand, the "Science and Technology Winter Olympics" project has increased investment in the research and development of snow skis, snow machines, skis, skates and other equipment, and the independent research and development and supply capabilities of ice and snow sports equipment have been effectively improved, which has promoted the popularization of ice and snow sports and the development of the ice and snow sports industry. , which strongly supports "300 million people participating in ice and snow sports".
On the other hand, the "Science and Technology Winter Olympics" project has driven 5G communication, green travel, and zero-emission energy supply by promoting the demonstration application of 5G, hydrogen energy travel, intelligent vehicle networking, and 100% clean electricity in the Winter Olympics. and other industrial development.
