CCTV News (Focus Interview): The National Alpine Ski Center "Xue Feiyan" is located in Yanqing, Beijing, and is the alpine skiing venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
It has undertaken 11 alpine skiing events and will produce 11 gold medals.
The maximum vertical drop of the track here exceeds 900 meters.
The steep slope is a great challenge for the athletes. How can the staff guarantee the event in such an environment?
Downhill athletes turn and fly at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour. It is easy to make mistakes and cause danger. How to rescue in time?
At five o'clock in the morning, the first shuttle bus from the National Alpine Ski Center to pick up the event security staff departed.
The ropeway station is the first place to wake up every morning on Xiaohai Tuo Mountain.
The running ropeway is like a blood vessel, sending the incoming staff to their respective posts on the mountain.
A morning meeting before departure is essential.
Gao Yu, the captain of the National Alpine Ski Center's Alpine Ski Rescue Team, used to be an alpine skier. After retiring, he was in charge of the management of the Alpine Rescue Team at the National Alpine Ski Center.
As the leader of the alpine ski rescue team, Gao Yu has a heavy responsibility.
The National Alpine Ski Center in Yanqing, Beijing has seven ski tracks, three race tracks and four training tracks.
The longest track has a vertical drop of about 900 meters, and the top speed of the skaters can reach more than 130 kilometers per hour.
Maintaining such a competition environment requires extremely high requirements for the protection of the competition.
All rescue team members need to cooperate closely, not only to ensure the safety of athletes, but also to ensure the safety of all personnel before and after the event.
On February 5th, there is only one day left before the planned start date, and there will be more people on Xiaohaituo Mountain in the competition.
In addition to the fitness training of the athletes, various technical officials and event broadcasters are also making final preparations on the track.
At this time, people are busy and busy, and it is most likely to be in chaos.
The rescue team must keep an eye on the conditions of each track at all times.
Near noon, on a training track, a staff member accidentally slipped.
The nearby alpine ski rescue team immediately launched the rescue.
Thanks to the timely rescue, the injured were fortunately unhurt.
In the past three years, countless drills and training have created their composure and proficiency today.
And all their efforts and perseverance are for the Beijing Winter Olympics this time.
February 6 is the first day that the National Alpine Ski Center in the Yanqing Division of the Beijing Winter Olympics plans to start the competition.
During the race, rescuers were scattered at different points on the track, paying attention to the situation of the Olympians on different schedules.
The men's downhill competition on the first day was scheduled to start at 11:00.
But the god of heaven is not beautiful, the wind direction is chaotic, and it is big and small.
Rescue team members are scattered at different points, ready to report the athletes' conditions at any time.
Before I knew it, three hours passed.
The starting point of the men's downhill competition, the temperature is minus 14 degrees.
The game was delayed an hour, another hour.
After three postponements, the race was rescheduled to February 7.
At this point, rescuers had been frozen on the mountain for seven hours.
Because there were already two matches originally scheduled, plus the event that was postponed the day before, the schedule for February 7 was full.
Each rescue team is carrying 50 to 70 pounds of equipment.
There are three games on February 7, involving two transitions, and the materials need to be prepared very well.
The first round of the women's giant slalom starts at 9:00.
If the athlete does not fall too hard and can leave the field by himself, rescuers do not have to be dispatched to avoid disruption to the game.
Between the first game and the second game, the transition time for rescuers is 10 minutes.
The second race was the more thrilling men's downhill.
Schweiger, a famous player from Germany, made a mistake.
When the rescuers were dispatched, it took about 13 or 14 minutes from the time of evacuation from the arena to the completion of the transfer.
After the rescue boat is used, it must be killed immediately. Other rescue team members rushed to support and sent another rescue boat to Huang Lei.
Ten minutes after the end of the second game, the rescuers switched again.
The second round of the women's giant slalom has begun.
In the hearts of the rescuers, there is nothing more gratifying than the safety of the athletes.
From February 7th to February 20th, the National Alpine Ski Center will hold 3 major events and 11 small events.
But for the event security personnel, the end of the game does not mean the end of the day's work.
The track was almost empty, but rescuers could not leave, and the Olympic Broadcasting Service had not descended.
Rescue personnel can only leave after confirming that all personnel at their position are safely evacuated.
Night fell, and at this time, the empty mountain belonged to the snowmobile driver.
Skis used during the day are smoothed out and refreshed at night.
In a few hours, the ropeway station will wake up.
The sun rises and a new day brings new exciting events.
