Winter Olympics technology adds colour to sport! Guangming Daily: This is the power of technology

The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games are in full swing. Technology is a key word throughout this year's Winter Olympics. Venue construction, athlete training, ice and snow making ...... many aspects of the Beijing Winter Olympics have brought sport and technology together, and have allowed technology to add to the glory of sport.

Technology is changing lives, and technology is changing sport too. The most memorable Olympic event in recent years was the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where swimmer Phelps won eight gold medals with his black technology "sharkskin" swimming costume. In the recently concluded Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, the Chinese team's outstanding achievements were also attributed to technology - the China Aerospace Low-speed Wind Tunnel Laboratory developed a "three-dimensional force measurement platform" for the Chinese rowing team; the China Aerospace Inertial Guidance System improved the swimming technology for the Chinese swimming team. The Chinese swimming team improved their swimming technique. At this year's Winter Olympic Games, wind tunnel technology was again used to help athletes optimise their posture; satellite navigation systems were used to navigate indoors in the National Ski Jumping Centre's "Snow Ruyi"; and carbon dioxide trans-critical direct cooling systems were used for the first time in a large ice arena to help make it carbon neutral.

This is the power of technology. These are examples of how technology is profoundly influencing the development of sport and is continuing to improve the natural environment and society through sporting events. For the individual athlete, technology can legitimately help push the limits of the human body. Just as mankind is committed to exploring the depths of the universe, so too does he remain curious about the limits of human function. The Olympic arena is the highest stage of sporting competition, where athletes from all over the world will be able to unleash their unlimited potential. The Olympic spirit of higher, faster, stronger and more united inspires athletes to break through the physical limitations imposed by nature, and the power of technology, which is constantly being updated, is the scientific choice that helps athletes to break through.

For social life, high technology, when applied in a realistic way, will help to improve the harmony between man and nature and make human production and life more convenient. The Olympic Games is a stage for sporting competition, but also for technological competition. The debut of many new technologies is often chosen for the Olympic Games, when the eyes of the world are focused on the games and the technology. The practical use of advanced technology in the Olympic Games will test the true effectiveness of the technology and increase its transformation and application.

To ensure the safety of spectators and the health of athletes, air disinfection machines based on natural super-particle generation technology are being used in some of the venues for the Beijing Winter Olympics. The successful use of this new technology in Olympic venues will certainly contribute to a new round of changes in the application of air disinfection technology in large venues, given the current severe global situation of the new pneumonia epidemic.

While the Olympic Games present the beauty of sport to the world, they also systematically and centrally present the technological prowess of the host country. The Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games will also be an event in which technology is used. Technology is the first productive force, and it is the foundation of a nation. Technology is having an increasingly profound impact on Chinese sport, and it is also influencing every aspect of China's development.

China's high-speed railway, the world's largest in terms of mileage, has greatly facilitated the rapid movement of people; China's space station "Tiangong" will be fully completed this year, furthering the ability to explore the unknown space. ...... Numerous examples can prove that the country's progress and development cannot be separated from technological innovation and technological progress. China will continue to promote scientific and technological innovation and accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological innovation results into real-life productivity. Science and technology innovation is an important engine for the development of human society, a powerful weapon to deal with many global challenges, and a necessary path for China to build a new development pattern and achieve high-quality development.

Let us witness the charm of the Science and Technology Olympics together.
