What events will be added to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics?
The International Olympic Committee officially confirmed the project setting of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Compared with the 20 18 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, four years later, Beijing Winter Olympics will add women's single snowmobile, short track speed skating mixed team relay, platform skiing mixed team, freestyle skiing big platform (one for men and one for women), freestyle skiing aerial skill mixed team and snowboarding obstacle chasing mixed team, with a total of 109 gold medals.
The IOC chose these seven events mainly based on four considerations. First, the addition of these seven events will not conflict with the overall planning of the existing venues for the 2022 Winter Olympics, and there is no need to add additional competition venues; Second, TV broadcasters have the need to increase the content of TV programs in the Winter Olympics; Third, these projects have been welcomed by young people in recent years; Fourth, it will help to further increase the proportion of women participating in the Winter Olympics.
Of the seven events decided by the International Olympic Committee, two are women's events, four are mixed team events, and only 1 is men's events. The proportion of women participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics will reach 45.44%, exceeding the 4 1% of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. Therefore, the Beijing Winter Olympics will be the one with the highest proportion of female athletes and the largest number of female events in the history of the Winter Olympics.
The development of ice and snow industry in China needs to be accelerated. At present, the ice and snow industry in China is still in its infancy. In the next four years, driven by the Winter Olympics, China's ice and snow industry is expected to usher in an outbreak period. Guangdong team appeared in the National Ice Hockey Championship, and xiong'an new area will build an ice and snow equipment base. With the help of the east wind of the Winter Olympics, the situation of ice and snow sports in Northeast China is improving, and the development layout of the ice and snow industry will be more balanced.
In terms of competition promotion, equipment manufacturing and commercial development, China's ice and snow industry chain needs to be further improved and standardized. It is believed that through the joint efforts of China Iceman, China Legion will make a new breakthrough in the Beijing Winter Olympics, and seven new projects will bring more surprises to ice fans.
