China will usher in the best winter athletes, and the world will feel this enthusiasm." Christopher Dolby, executive director of the IOC Olympic department, also said in the article: "The upcoming winter Olympic venues are amazing, including several from 2008 and several newly-built venues with outstanding design. They use the latest functions, such as sustainable resource power generation or carbon dioxide sustainable refrigeration system on ice. All these functions meet the expectations of future users, including the public." The article referred to the Winter Olympic epidemic prevention manual. "The epidemic prevention manual has formulated a plan for the Olympic Games to help participants in the Olympic and Paralympic Games, as well as local residents - to ensure everyone's safety and health during the Olympic Games," dobby said It is jointly formulated by the International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee and the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee, including the latest scientific suggestions and practical and effective response measures during the epidemic.

That's why we require all participants to abide by these guidelines. Only by ensuring everyone's health can we ensure that we always focus on the essence of the Olympic and Paralympic Games: athletes and sports."

The Beijing Winter Olympic Games will also become the most gender balanced Winter Olympic Games in history. Not only will the number of female athletes be more than in previous years - the proportion in the total number of participants increased from 41% in 2018 to 45.4%, but also the number of female sub events increased to 46. Yang Yang, chairman of the Athletes Committee of the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee, said in his article: "as an athlete, I am very pleased to see people of all ages participating in sports and full of enthusiasm.
