For the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics next winter, a tournament by athletes from China has begun at the actual competition venue.
While the test tournament has been postponed or canceled one after another due to the influence of the new coronavirus, it seems that the aim is to confirm the operation procedure and appeal that preparations are in progress.
According to the state-run China Central Television, a ski freestyle and aerial competition was held by athletes from China on the 17th at the ski resort in Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, which is the competition venue for the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics.
These tournaments have been held for 20 events since the 16th of this month, and foreign experts are also visiting.
The Beijing tournament is scheduled to be held from February to March next year, but the test tournament scheduled from the end of last year is restricted to foreign players and related parties due to the influence of the new coronavirus. It has been canceled or postponed one after another.
China has said that the domestic infection has subsided recently, and the Organizing Committee of the Beijing Games confirmed the operation procedure in the winter season just before the opening of the event, and verified the issues. , It seems that the aim is to appeal that preparations are in progress.
On the other hand, for some sports such as skating, we are planning to hold a test tournament in which foreign athletes also participated from October to December, while checking the infection situation.
