Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 13 (reporter Su Bin) on the 13th, the vice president of the International Olympic Committee, little Samaranch, expressed his strong confidence in the successful holding of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, believing that it would be more than two years before the holding of the Winter Olympic Games, at this moment, the Olympic legacy has already appeared.
“I sleep well every night, because there is nothing to worry about.” Little Samaranch smiled in an interview. As the chairman of the International Olympic Committee’s coordination committee for the 2022 Winter Olympics, he has been in China seven or eight times a year and believes that the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics are of first-class level.
On the morning of that day, little Samaranch and his party went to the Gaojing Road Community in Shijingshan district, the first “Winter Olympics community” in Beijing, as well as the primary school of power plant Road and other places to visit the ice and snow sports into the community and enter the campus activities.
Little Samaranch said that the Olympic spirit is not only related to top athletes and the Olympic Games, but also should be spread on campus. “This is a way of life. Children and community residents are shining in their eyes. We see their love for ice and snow sports, which makes us excited and proud.”
Little Samaranch said: “This truly reflects that China’s vision of” driving 0.3 billion people to participate in ice and snow sports “is becoming a reality. We are sure about this, the legacy of the Winter Olympics was even revealed before the Games were held.”
In little Samaranch’s view, with Beijing successfully hosting the Olympic Games in 2008, “This city is immersed in the Olympic spirit, which has been integrated into your blood and become your DNA”.
Little Samaranch said that the organizers of the Beijing Winter Olympics took another step towards their commitment. He firmly believed that the carefully prepared Beijing Winter Olympics would achieve outstanding success.
“China held an incomparable Olympic Games in 2008, and you can do it during the Winter Olympics. You have the experience of successfully running the competition, as well as the manpower, ability and willingness. We have great confidence in your ability to run the competition.” He said.
The three-day 2019 “boiling snow” Beijing International snow Kupono board and freestyle skiing jumping platform World Cup is being staged. This year’s competition was arranged at Shougang skiing University jumping platform, which is the first newly-built competition venue built in the Beijing competition area of Beijing Winter Olympics.
Sarah Lewis, the secretary-general of the International Skiing Federation, believes that holding the tenth year of “boiling snow” in Beijing, this time holding hands with Winter Olympics venues is of great significance to events and sports.
Lewis expressed the same view as little Samaranch: “The Olympic heritage has already appeared. Normally, it is after the Olympic Games, but it is less than three years before the Winter Olympics is held, we feel the great enthusiasm of people here to participate in winter sports.”
“When the Winter Olympics are held, people will show greater enthusiasm and investment, and the Winter Games will become a part of people’s daily life.” Lewis said.
