[Beijing Winter Olympics] The Capital Gymnasium uses sound and light technology to create "the most beautiful ice"

  [Explanation] The Capital Gymnasium, located in Haidian District, Beijing, has been in operation for 53 years and is one of the most versatile and widely applicable gymnasiums in Beijing.

In 2008, it was the venue for the Beijing Olympics volleyball competition.

In 2022, it will also shine again at the Beijing Winter Olympics, undertaking short track speed skating and figure skating projects, and become a "double Olympic venue".

  From April 1st to 10th, the Capital Gymnasium will host the "Meet in Beijing" series of winter sports events.

During the event, the reporter also used the camera to record the new changes that have taken place in this historic venue.

  According to reports, after the completion of the reconstruction of the Capital Gymnasium, the original appearance has been retained, but the interior has undergone tremendous changes.

Through the all-round upgrade of the acoustic and optical parts of the stadium, the first body will create the "most beautiful ice".

  Through a projection of the projector, the effect of the sky screen (giant projection screen) is created, but the sky screen is actually more considered to create an atmosphere. It must be in the dark field, combined with our new circle The ring screen, including the end screens on both sides, and the effect that we will have a temporary projection on the ice surface during the game. In this way, there will be a trinity of heaven and earth on both sides, or a fusion of multiple niches. The experience of feeling.

  [Explanation] During the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Capital Gymnasium will host short-track speed skating and figure skating events.

How to quickly and efficiently complete the conversion of the two competition venues, the staff also spent a lot of thought in the transformation and upgrading of the Capital Gymnasium.

  For figure (skating), the ice temperature is higher and the ice surface is thicker. Short track (speed skating) must be harder and thinner.

The two projects will even be switched on the next day. In such a case, we actually make it uniform in terms of the thickness of the ice surface. For example, both are made to be 5 cm thick, but through the adjustment of the ice temperature, To meet the different requirements for the softness and hardness of the ice surface in the short track and the pattern.

  [Explanation] In addition to the upgrading and changes of the competition area, the staff in the reconstruction and expansion project of the Capital Gymnasium also made a more scientific and reasonable transformation of many functional facilities in the stadium.

  I also hope that the audience can feel the "new changes in the old head body", which is different, because in fact we still made a lot of thoughtful thoughts on the details.

For example (toilet), in the decades before the first body was in operation, for example, the ratio of male and female toilets (unreasonable), maybe female audiences always lined up in line before, this time we made a comparison of the ratio of male and female toilets The adjustment is to make a certain tilt. In this way, I think female audiences will have a better experience.

  [Explanation] In order to reflect the concept of "Humanistic Olympics", the venues have made great efforts in barrier-free facilities.

Wang Ye recalled to reporters that the initial barrier-free facilities of the Capital Gymnasium met the specifications after several rounds of approval by the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee and the Beijing Disabled Persons’ Federation.

On this basis, they also specially invited the disabled to have the experience.

  The disabled person actually did a very good prior experience for the disabled in the future, and then through this experience, our barrier-free facilities have been greatly improved.

In fact, our previous facilities all met the specifications, but they met the specifications. As for the disabled, there will still be problems of this kind, because the barrier-free part of each venue will have its own particularity. At that time He gave us a lot of opinions, and then we later revised it (there was an improvement).

  [Explanation] It is reported that the renovated Capital Gymnasium, in addition to guaranteeing the needs of the Winter Olympic Games, can also undertake various international and domestic high-level ice events after the game, and at the same time it can switch to summer events.
