The National Snowmobile Sled Center in Yanqing Division of the Beijing Winter Olympics is holding the International Training Week for Snowmobiles and Steel Framed Snowmobiles. Athletes from 24 countries and regions are participating. Among them, many of the world’s top masters. From familiarizing with the track to enjoying the track, they showed their demeanor on the new track in late autumn in Beijing.
The national snowmobile sled center track "Snow Dragon" is the 17th in the world, the third in Asia, and the first in China. The track is 1975 meters long and has a vertical drop of 121 meters.
As the fastest event in winter sports, snowmobile sled athletes must wear helmets to compete.
The speed and the tightly fastened helmets make it difficult for spectators to see the real athletes when watching the game.
And the faces under the helmets of athletes from various countries have expressions of firmness, confidence, or ease.
In addition, the faces behind the athletes are the heroes behind the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The event organizer is the "brain" that guarantees the orderly and smooth holding of the event, the ice maker is the "guardian" to ensure the safety of the event, and the persistence of epidemic prevention and medical rescue personnel is the "barrier" to ensure the smooth holding of the event.
