The Beijing Winter Olympics venues include 4 newly-built ice competition and training venues including the National Speed Skating Stadium "Ice Ribbon". The remodeled venues include 6 ice competition and training venues including the National Aquatics Center "Water Cube" and the Capital Gymnasium. Through the Beijing Winter Olympics, all competition venues will achieve the "amphibious" ability to host winter and summer sports. All ice rinks fully consider the needs during the game and the use after the game.
Ma Jin, the person in charge of the special design for the ice-making project of the National Speed Skating Hall, introduced that the National Speed Skating Hall will be the venue for the speed skating competition on the Avenue of the Beijing Winter Olympics. It has the largest all-ice design in Asia, with an ice surface area of 12,000 square meters. Usually more than 2,000 people can be held at the same time for ice hockey, speed skating, figure skating, curling and other ice sports.
