Doesn't it sound cool to walk on Winter Olympics-standard ice on New Year's Day and celebrate the New Year with ice skating? On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year on February 10, a reporter from the Beijing ** client came to the "Ice Ribbon" of the National Speed Skating Hall and saw many citizens getting up early in the morning to skate to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.

At 9:10 a.m., there were already skaters galloping on the ice in the "Ice Ribbon". 61-year-old Liu Guangsheng told this reporter: "I got up at less than 6 o'clock today, and then took the bus from home to the speed skating hall, and when I got off the bus at 8:40, the 'Ice Ribbon' opened and I came in." It is the smoothest ice surface that the ice sweeper has just swept! As a veteran skater who has skated for 40 years, Liu Guangsheng has been galloping on the outdoor ice rink before, and after the "Ice Ribbon" was opened to the public, he switched to this Olympic-standard ice surface.

Wang Zekai, an 18-year-old freshman, and his 10-year-old sister Wang Ruxuan also came to the ice rink early in the morning. The older brother is very skilled, and he is comfortable on the ice, and from time to time he guides his younger sister, who is not sliding well. Wang Ruxuan said: "I used to skate a year ago, and then I forgot about it, and this time I remembered it again on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Talking about why he came to the "Ice Ribbon" on the first day of the Lunar New Year, his brother Wang Zekai said: "I have always liked ice and snow sports, and I want my sister to be more exposed to this sport, so it is perfect to spend a New Year's Day on the ice." ”

Liu Xiaoli, business manager of the tourism and ice affairs department of the National Speed Skating Hall, and her colleagues prepared early in the ice rink, and they also prepared New Year's gifts such as blessing characters for the first few enthusiasts to enter the venue. Liu Xiaoli told this reporter: "In order to let everyone enjoy the Olympic-standard ice surface, we will carry out ice surface restoration operations at least three times a day. At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of the ice experience, we will regularly disinfect the equipment every day, and the safety officer on the ice is also on standby at any time. Liu Xiaoli said that from the first day to the eighth day of the new year, the National Speed Skating Hall is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day. In addition to ice skating, citizens can also enjoy the wonderful activities of the ice and snow season outdoors and visit intangible cultural heritage exhibitions in the museum.
