China News Service, Beijing, February 13 (Wang Hao) On the 13th, Yang Shuan, vice chairman of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, introduced at the press conference that the snowfall on February 13th, the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee had already received the weather on February 4th. According to the forecast information of the department, the period and magnitude of snowfall for each venue were basically determined two days ago, and relevant information on weather warnings was issued in advance.
Yang Shu'an said: "Today's snow will last until the night, and some of the tracks in the Yunding Ski Park have been shaped by snow, so there can't be too much floating snow on the track. This morning, thousands of workers in the Zhangjiakou competition area worked. The personnel have already arrived at the track to clear the snow, but because the snow is too heavy and too fast to meet the visibility requirements, the race is postponed to ensure the safety of the athletes. We have enough strength to clear the snow before the next race day. Snow drifts on the track."
