The media personnel interviewing on the spot all received flowers from the news operation team and volunteers. Long Peipei, the news operation manager of the stadium team, said that this is both a blessing and a test: “The entire Winter Olympics spans our traditional Spring Festival holiday. Some preparations are in front. This link is not only the work in the field of news operations, but also combines the sports display team. The volunteers who send flowers to you are not from one business field, but from various business fields of our venues. As for the time of the game. What arrangements do we have to make, leave a deduction, everyone come and look forward to it.”
