The shape of the opening ceremony venue is like a holy Hada, and the emblem of "Fourteen Winters" and "Winter Rhyme" are eye-catching. It is based on the glyph of "winter", and it is like the Morgrad River, which flows through Hulunbuir, the "first water in the world", and curves in a twisting and turning, presenting a kind of "potential" that rotates and rises.
Two years ago, in the beginning of spring, the Beijing Winter Olympics was grandly opened, and the emblem "Winter Dream" was also ** in the word "winter", with dancing lines, depicting the passionate dream of the Chinese people for winter sports. When China held a large-scale national winter sports event for the first time in the "post-Winter Olympics era", the outside world could see the new image and new ideas of China's ice and snow sports through the "14th Winter".
Throughout the history of the Winter Games, it is a history of the development of ice and snow sports in China. Although the first Winter Games can be traced back to 1959, it still belongs to the category of the National Games, and in 1965, the second National Games did not have ice and snow events, so the second Winter Games were not even held.
When the flame of the Winter Games was lit in Inner Mongolia for the first time, this Winter Games with the largest scale, the most events and the highest standards was more concretely interpreted a new chapter of China's ice and snow sports: more than 3,700 athletes participated in the competition, with as many as 8 major events, 16 sub-events and 176 small events, and for the first time the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities participated in the competition, and for the first time set up mass event ......The level of ice and snow competition has risen, and the ice and snow territory has been further expanded.
From nothing to something, and most importantly to 'have'. As Zhai Xiaomeng, the coach of Guangdong's first ski jumping team who led the team to participate in the competition, said, the southern provinces have a lot to do with this "head". In the early stage, many teams from Guangdong, Sichuan and other countries have stood on the podium of the Winter Games for the first time, and more players from Chongqing, Guizhou, Macao and other places have made their debuts after the opening. The "south-to-north tune" of the Winter Games venue is not only chasing dreams and building dreams, but also expanding the base and adding thickness to the comprehensive and balanced development of Chinese sports.
Bringing 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports", the vision put forward by China when it hosted the Winter Olympics has become a reality. In Hulunbuir, the pearl of northern Xinjiang, the city's 313 primary and secondary schools have a 100% penetration rate of ice and snow sports, and in recent years, more than 200,000 people have directly and indirectly participated in ice and snow sports. The "14th Winter" continues the Winter Olympics, and this new "Winter City" is also a "City of Winter Rhyme".
The transformation from a picture to a reality is the epitome of the people-centered idea of sports development. With the increasing diversification of sports in China's social life, the positioning of the National Games has gradually shifted from "competitive training ground" to "National Games". Under the guidance of "running a good meeting and improving a city", the event has in-depth interaction with the city; With the theme slogan of "Igniting the Passion of Ice and Snow and Flying the Chinese Dream", the "14th Winter" is closely integrated with people's pursuit of sports dreams and their yearning for a better life.
In China's journey towards a sports power, the Beijing Winter Olympics has become an important historical coordinate, which has been praised by the President of the International Olympic Committee as "opening a new era" and "will greatly change the world winter sports map". China regards the 14th Winter as an important measure to accelerate the construction of a sports power, and will continue to contribute to the world through the high-quality development of ice and snow sports.
The emblem of the "Fourteenth Winter" is like an abstract version of the Morgrad River. Starting from Hulunbuir, where more than 3,000 rivers flow, China's "winter dream" of ice and snow sports is surging, continuing to write a new chapter in the story of ice and snow. (ENDS).
