Fastest ice

最快的冰

Yang Shu'an, vice president of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games (BOCOG), hailed the 12,000-square-meter rink of Ice Ribbon as the "fastest ice" in the world for its contribution to the athletes' amazing performances.

北京冬奥组委副主席杨树安谈到了“冰丝带”冰面对运动员成绩起到的作用，称赞这块面积达1.2万平方米的冰面为“最快的冰”。

In speed skating, in which athletes achieve the fastest speed without assistance, the less the difference in temperature and the evener and flatter the ice surface would get contributed to better performances, according to insiders.

据内部人士透露，在速度滑冰项目中，运动员要在没有辅助的情况下达到最快速度，那么温差越小、冰面越平滑，成绩就会越好。

To help athletes achieve their best performances in Beijing with another technological leap, the Ice Ribbon has, for the first time, advanced carbon dioxide trans-critical direct cooling ice-making technology.

为了帮助运动员在北京冬奥会上取得最佳成绩，“冰丝带”首次采用了二氧化碳跨临界直冷制冰技术，这是一项技术上的飞跃。

In addition to the ice technology, the design of the arena enhanced the performance of the athletes. The ring-shaped auditorium completely wraps around the track to help keep athletes excited. At the same time, the hyperbolic roof creates a better sense of space and helps athletes focus more on the track.

除了制冰技术，场馆的设计也提升了运动员的表现。环形看台完全包裹比赛场地，形成欢乐热烈的赛场氛围利于运动员保持兴奋。与此同时，双曲面屋顶营造出更好的空间感，帮助运动员更加专注赛道。

"It's one of the best speed skating rinks in the world, and I can get a good result here to stand on the podium, I am very happy," said Japanese speed skater Miho Takagi, who won three medals at the Beijing Winter Games.

在北京冬奥会上摘得三枚奖牌的日本速度滑冰运动员高木美帆说：“这是世界上最棒的速度滑冰赛场之一，能够在这里取得好成绩，站在领奖台上，我十分开心。”

Xu Qiang, director of the Beijing Science and Technology Commission, said at a Wednesday press conference in Beijing that the Ice Ribbon has won praise from the International Olympic Committee as well as the International Skating Union.

北京市科学技术委员会主任许强2月16日在北京的新闻发布会上表示，国家速滑馆得到了国际奥委会和国际滑冰联盟的高度评价。

According to Xu, more than 200 technologies have been tested and used for Beijing 2022 in over 60 disciplines, making the event safer from the pandemic, more environmental friendly and more spectacular.

许强称，本届冬奥会先后测试200多项技术，涉及60多个细分应用场景，为实现北京冬奥会的“简约、安全、精彩”和践行绿色环保提供有力支撑。

Chinese observers said that the great performance of athletes has not only delivered Beijing's promise of making the Beijing 2022 a "spectacular" one, but also showcased the strength of China's innovation.

中国的观察人士表示，运动员的出色表现不仅兑现了北京举办一场奥林匹克盛会的承诺，也展示出中国的创新力量。

Apart from the "fastest ice," high-tech elements are everywhere in the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, ranging from the robotic chef in the Olympic village, the hydrogen fueled shuttles, the bullet train connecting Beijing and Zhangjiakou competition zones, to the referee system camera.

除了“最快的冰”，2022北京冬奥会的高科技元素随处可见，从奥运村的机器人大厨、氢能源摆渡车、连接北京和张家口赛区的高铁，到裁判系统摄像机。

More than speed
