According to Xinhua News Agency, at a press conference held on the 5th, the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee stated that in terms of venue planning and construction, competition organization, event services, epidemic prevention and control, etc., the preparations for the Winter Paralympic Games will be simultaneously promoted to ensure the Beijing Winter Olympics. The Olympics and Paralympics are equally exciting.
Zhao Weidong, spokesman for the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, said that holding the Paralympics is an important symbol of the progress of human civilization. It is believed that the Beijing Winter Paralympics, like the Beijing Winter Olympics, will be a grand event for world sports and a grand event for solidarity and friendship. , I hope all the participating athletes take off their dreams here.
In response to the impact of the recent warmer weather on snow sports, Zhao Weidong said that the snow fields in the Yanqing and Zhangjiakou competition areas are facing meteorological risks such as high temperature, melting snow and strong winds, which may have a certain impact on the competition. However, the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee has made full preparations. First, increase the amount of snow production on sunny slopes and vulnerable areas, and second, carry out timely shaping work on the snow track by storing the amount of snow. At the same time, some technical means were used to prevent the high temperature weather from affecting the softening of the snow surface of the track before the competition. In addition, it has also established a schedule change mechanism with the International Paralympic Committee and the International Winter Paralympic Sports Federation.
In terms of epidemic prevention, Huang Chun, deputy director of the Epidemic Prevention and Control Office of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, said that the Winter Paralympics, like the Winter Olympics, are based on the second edition of the “Epidemic Prevention Manual”. At the same time, a humanized design has been carried out according to the characteristics of the Paralympic Games and the actual situation of the disabled. For example, if you cannot wear a mask due to disability, you can wear a protective face screen instead. For example, some personnel may need to communicate through lip language, and they can temporarily take off their masks.
Zhao Weidong also introduced that the Winter Paralympic mascot “Xue Rongrong” has already started spot sales in some licensed retail stores. Like the Winter Olympics mascot “Bing Dun Dun”, the sales will continue until at least the end of June.
