The competition venues of the Beijing Winter Olympics are all world-class venues. During the Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics, each venue has established a good cooperation and communication mechanism with international individual sports organizations.

Relevant departments and owners have reached a framework agreement with the World Curling Federation, the International Snowmobile Federation, etc., and are actively negotiating with the FIS, the International Biathlon Federation, etc., to bid for the World Cup this year and in the next few years. competition.

This will drive the follow-up operation of the venue and help the development of ice and snow sports in China.

　　The second is cultural tourism and comprehensive development.

The Yanqing and Zhangjiakou competition areas will rely on snow venues to build "all-season, all-time, all-region" ice and snow entertainment centers, mountain resorts and summer resorts.

After the game, Shougang Park will accompany the people of the capital as the "Beijing Winter Olympic Park", so that Beijing, the "city of double Olympics", will have a "double Olympic park".

　　The third is that the venues are open to the public to meet the needs of public ice and snow sports after the game.

The all-ice design of the National Speed ​​Skating Hall is to take into account that it will be open to the society after the game, and it can accommodate 2,000 people on the ice at the same time after the game.

In the National Snowmobile and Sled Center, there is a special departure area for the public experience in the slower 1/3 of the slide.

The National Biathlon Center has built a ski training and ice and snow experience base suitable for teenagers.

The Yanqing and Zhangjiakou competition areas have both advanced trails for intermediate and advanced skiers and ski resorts for beginners.

Keep barrier-free facilities as much as possible after the game

It is worth mentioning that in this Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games, the barrier-free facilities in all venues are relatively high, and these barrier-free facilities will be retained as much as possible after the games.
