Mission on the Tide丨Hundred Years of Winter Olympic Stadium

  Four years ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected the preparations for the Winter Olympics in Zhangjiakou City and said that all construction projects for the Beijing Winter Olympics must follow the requirements of green, shared, open, and clean Olympics, and adhere to a century-old plan.

As the Beijing Winter Olympics is about to usher in the first anniversary of the countdown, how is the construction of the Winter Olympics venues?

How to ensure that it becomes a high-quality, ecological, humanistic, and clean boutique project?

"Tide Guanlan" takes you to observe.

Stadium construction is the top priority!

  On July 31, 2015, Beijing and Zhangjiakou won the right to host the 24th Winter Olympic Games in 2022. China once again embraced the Olympic dream.

Preparing for the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics is a systematic project.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that the construction of venues and infrastructure is the top priority of the preparation work.

  The Beijing Winter Olympics will have three competition areas, Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou, with a total of 25 venues planned to be used, of which 12 are directly used for competition.

  During this year’s inspection, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the Capital Gymnasium in the Beijing Division, the National Alpine Ski Center and the National Snowmobile Center in the Yanqing Division, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-speed Railway Prince City Station in the Zhangjiakou Division, the National Ski Jumping Center, and the National Winter Two centers.

During the three previous field visits to the preparations for the Winter Olympics, the Yunding Ski Resort, Wukesong Gymnasium, Capital Gymnasium, Shijingshan Shougang Park, where the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Winter Olympics is located, also left the footprints of the General Secretary.

  The general secretary said that all construction projects for the Beijing Winter Olympics must be carefully designed, carefully constructed, and carried out according to plans and plans, so as to be calm, with quality and quantity.

For this most important task, the General Secretary has always been concerned about it.

The competition venue is fully ready!

  At the end of 2020, the construction of venues and infrastructure for the Beijing Winter Olympics has achieved phased results. The construction of all competition venues has been completed, and all other facilities will be delivered in July this year.

IOC President Bach spoke highly of this: "We see the commitment and determination of our Chinese partners and friends. All Winter Olympic venues are ready for the world's best winter athletes."

  All this is hard to come by!

2020 is a critical year for the construction of the Beijing Winter Olympics venues, and the new crown pneumonia epidemic has brought unprecedented challenges.

Beijing carried out closed management of the construction sites of the Winter Olympics, and Zhangjiakou formulated the "Special Plan for Epidemic Prevention and Control of the Resumption of Winter Olympics Projects."

By the end of March 2020, the resumption rate of the Winter Olympics in Beijing and Yanqing will reach 100%.

At the end of April, all 40 venues and supporting infrastructure under construction in the Zhangjiakou competition area resumed work.

  Faced with the “additional test questions” of the epidemic, the management, design, and construction teams pressed the “accelerator button”. The pace of the preparations for the Winter Olympics remained unchanged, the goals remained unchanged, and the standards remained unchanged, demonstrating my country’s institutional advantages of concentrating efforts on major issues.

  On January 18th, General Secretary Xi Jinping said during an inspection at the Capital Gymnasium that I was very pleased to see everyone doing their best, the preparation work was progressing smoothly, and the training and preparation results were obvious. I am full of confidence in hosting this grand event. .

This confidence of the General Secretary also originated from the excellent answers handed over in the construction of the Winter Olympics venues.

Green is a beautiful background!

  The construction of the venues for the Beijing Winter Olympics has always embodied the distinctive concept of "Green Olympics".

  A large number of newly built and renovated venues such as the National Speed ​​Skating Stadium and the Capital Gymnasium, for the first time in the history of the Winter Olympic Games, adopted a more environmentally friendly carbon dioxide refrigerant for ice making, and their carbon emissions approached zero.

The Beijing Winter Olympics will be the first Olympic Games in history to use all green and clean electricity.

  The construction of the Beijing Winter Olympics venues makes full use of the legacy of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

Except for the newly built National Speed ​​Skating Stadium and Shougang Ski Jump Center in the Beijing competition area, all other competition venues will use the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games venues.

The National Stadium (Bird's Nest) will once again assume the heavy responsibility of the opening and closing ceremonies.

The Capital Gymnasium, which has been built for 52 years, will be remodeled and upgraded with a "repaired as before" and will undertake the short track speed skating and figure skating competitions of the Beijing Winter Olympics.

△In November 2020, the renovation project of the National Aquatics Center "Water Cube" was officially completed, becoming the first renovated venue to be completed for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

  General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that modern buildings must be made to complement each other with natural landscapes, historical culture, and become high-quality assets worth inheriting and benefiting the people, and become the new business card of the city.

This requirement is becoming a vivid practice.

The design concept of the Shougang ski jumping platform is derived from the traditional "flying" shape in the Dunhuang murals. From the side, it looks like a smart "crystal shoe", giving the industrial site of Shougang Shijingshan Park a new life.

Located in the National Ski Jumping Center in Zhangjiakou Competition Area, the cross section of the jumping platform fits with the S-shaped curve of the traditional Chinese auspicious decoration "Ruyi", which is vividly called "Snow Ruyi".

The Beijing Winter Olympics is a strong Chinese style.

Based on "use", get moving!

  Winter Olympic venues are used for the Winter Olympics and belong to athletes, but they are only temporary; used for national fitness and belong to the people, but they are long-term.

This is the important connotation of the General Secretary's emphasis on insisting on the "hundred-year plan" in the construction of Winter Olympic venues.

  Four years ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during an inspection in Zhangjiakou that an important purpose of our bid for the Beijing Winter Olympics is to promote the rapid progress of my country's ice and snow sports and promote the widespread development of national fitness.

  Letting more people participate in the ice and snow sports is a manifestation of the Olympic spirit and also a manifestation of the concept of "sharing the Olympics" for the Beijing Winter Olympics.

△On January 6, students of the Youth Winter Olympic Sports School in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province were training on the snow field.

  At the beginning of the planning and construction of the Beijing Winter Olympics, a heritage plan was formulated to strive to realize the sustainable use of the Winter Olympics venues.

  The National Speed ​​Skating Hall can accommodate more than 2,000 people at the same time to carry out all ice sports such as ice hockey, speed skating, figure skating, curling, etc. It will become the first ice activity center in Beijing to operate in all seasons.

  The National Swimming Center completes the conversion of curling and swimming venues by building a convertible structure and installing a removable ice making system.

Water sports are carried out in spring, summer and autumn, and ice sports are carried out in winter.

  Yanqing, while holding professional competitions, mass skiing also enjoys it.

The National Snowmobile Sled Center uses a relatively flat stage to design the public experience track, allowing ordinary people to feel the speed of the snowmobile sled.

  Zhangjiakou Chongli, the most ideal natural ski area in North China.

The National Cross-Country Ski Center will be re-developed and utilized after the race, and become a "mountain park" and an "outdoor ice recreation center".

△National Alpine Ski Center

  When inspecting the National Alpine Ski Center, General Secretary Xi Jinping said that the foundation of a sports power lies in mass sports.

It is necessary to promote my country's ice and snow sports, especially snow sports, through the hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics, to better promote ice and snow sports among 300 million people, and promote the building of a sports power.

  As General Secretary Xi Jinping said: "The popularization of ice and snow sports and the enhancement of the people's physical fitness are also compatible with China's realization of the'two centenary goals'." The centennial plan is full of profound meaning.
