The preparation for the Hangzhou Asian Games is gradually entering the sprint period, and the venue practical test "simulation test" is in progress. Hangzhou | Competition | Practical experience

The Hangzhou Asian Games and Asian Paralympics have a total of 56 competition venues, distributed in the host city of Hangzhou and co host cities of Ningbo, Wenzhou, Jinhua, Shaoxing, and Huzhou. At present, all competition venues have completed the functional acceptance of the competition and have the ability to operate the competition. What are the highlights of the construction of Hangzhou Asian Games venues? What measures are taken to utilize before and after the competition? Let's learn more together.

All 56 venues have completed the functional acceptance of the competition

There are a total of 56 competition venues for the Hangzhou Asian Games and Asian Paralympics, including 12 new venues, 26 renovated venues, 9 new venues, and 9 temporary venues. Throughout the construction process of the Asian Games venues, the concept of green, intelligent, frugal, and civilized hosting has been fully reflected.

In terms of green, the Asian Organizing Committee has proposed a series of standards, such as green and healthy building design guidelines, to make everyone feel the vitality of green in every aspect and detail inside and outside the venue. For example, the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center venue cluster has launched a special plan for sponge cities within the region, established a rainwater circulation system for the venue cluster, and effectively played a role in water storage and regulation; The Hangzhou Gongshu Canal Sports Park Gymnasium adopts an indoor air quality monitoring and improvement system, combined with photoelectric ion air purification and sterilization technology, to create a healthy and comfortable indoor environment.

In terms of intelligence, the Asian Organizing Committee has applied technologies such as 3D visualization, building information modeling, and 5G to comprehensively improve the level of venue intelligence. For example, the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium is currently the only venue in Zhejiang that can achieve arbitrary conversion between ice sports and basketball venues; The Lin'an Sports Center Sports Center has established a material database, which manages materials through QR codes, tracks material usage information, and ensures quality control.

Frugality is a major highlight in the construction of venues for this Asian Games. The newly built venues for the Asian Games only account for 1/5 of the total, while the rest are renovated venues. Among them, the bicycle and triathlon projects in Chun'an, Hangzhou, are all built temporarily; Sports venues such as Jinhua Sports Center and Binjiang Sports Center, which were not built for a long time, have retained their original seats and other facilities during the renovation process, saving tens of millions of yuan in costs.

The concept of civilization is also a major feature in the construction of Asian Games venues. Whether it is the Qiantang Roller Skating Center, which integrates diverse cultural scenes such as Hangzhou West Lake culture and Asian Games culture, or the Shaoxing Keqiao Yangshan Climbing Center, which extracts cultural symbols from the Jiangnan silk industry and is designed with silkworm cocoons, these Asian Games venues showcase the interplay of traditional culture and contemporary elements. Not only that, 56 competition venues also have about 10000 accessible facilities and mother and baby rooms.

In addition, venues are open to the public before the start of the competition, which is the first time in the history of the Asian Games. Since July 1st last year, almost all Asian Games venues have opened their doors to the public. In addition, the design and construction process of Asian Games venues fully considers the functional requirements during and after the competition. At present, 51 out of 56 competition venues have formulated specific utilization plans for the next step to avoid the occurrence of waste after the competition.

More than 30 events have been completed in the venues of the Hangzhou Asian Games

As the footsteps of the Hangzhou Asian Games get closer, the preparation work for the Asian Games has gradually entered a sprint mode. Starting from early May, the holding of Asian Games testing activities has entered a stage of intensive development. In the preparation process for the Hangzhou Asian Games, an important aspect is that each venue should hold professional sports events for the corresponding projects before the Asian Games to test the venue and adjust the team, prepare for the Asian Games, and follow the reporter to have a look.

The Asian Games venues test their facilities, equipment, and operational capabilities through the hosting of events, and continuously optimize their work plans in accordance with the requirements of the Asian Organizing Committee after the competition. As of June 15th, more than 30 events have been completed at the venues of the Hangzhou Asian Games.

He Yun, a staff member of the venue operation team at Qiantang Roller Skating Center: The series of events is a comprehensive, all element, and all pressure "simulation test" conducted on our venue before the Asian Games. Through simulation exams, we can learn about the professionalism and shortcomings of the entire venue, and also test the professionalism and collaboration of the venue operation team in various business areas, accumulating experience and preparing more adequately for the upcoming Asian Games.

Before the opening of the Asian Games, the Hangzhou Asian Organizing Committee plans to hold a total of 51 sports events this year, including 42 national level competitions, 9 intercontinental competitions, and 4 Asian disability series. The Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee hopes to assist venues and teams in identifying and filling gaps through the holding of these high-level events, improve facilities, equipment, and reception capabilities with international and professional competition standards, and ensure the smooth operation of the Asian Games.

Yang Meng, Deputy Minister of the Propaganda Department of the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee: Some of our venues are newly built, while others are renovated. So, we want to test the completeness of the hardware of the entire venue through these competitions, and whether we can bear and undertake such comprehensive and high standard sports events as the Asian Games. Secondly, we will also test whether these plans in the operation of the competition are effective or not. The professionalism of the personnel team is still relatively lacking. We want to train our personnel team through a series of competitions, accumulate experience, identify problems, and then make up for the shortcomings and make further improvements.

Qiantang Roller Skating Center, Asian Games venue

Will produce 16 gold medals

The Qiantang Roller Skating Center is located on the banks of the Qiantang River in Hangzhou. It is the competition venue for roller skating and skateboarding events at the Hangzhou Asian Games, where 16 gold medals will be won. This venue has a cool appearance and a unique style of track. Follow the reporter together to experience it.

CCTV reporter Sun Rui: What kind of experience is roller skating on the professional roller skating track at the Asian Games venues? Today, I will take everyone to experience it together.

I just spun several laps on this track and felt that the professional track is really different. I also slid faster than usual on this track. So what is the mystery behind this track under my feet? Let's listen to what the venue staff said.

He Yun, staff member of the venue operation team at the Qiantang Roller Skating Center: First, let's take a look at our special blue track, which is a 200 x 7 meter speed slide designed according to the latest technical standards of the World Roller Skating Federation. At both ends of the track, we adopted a hyperbolic design, which is also the first roller skating race track in China to have a hyperbolic surface. Let's feel the slope at the top of the track now, it's still a bit steep. When a speed skater competes, they increase their turning speed while taking turns, and during relay races, the relay team can perform a dive, which can also improve their performance.

You see, our protective board looks ordinary, like a plastic board, but in fact, we are using polycarbonate material. Polycarbonate material is lightweight, soft, and highly elastic. Athletes are likely to encounter accidents during high-speed sports. When they collide with guardrails, polycarbonate material can effectively ensure the safety of our athletes.

This light is an LED light, and its entire angle is quite uneven, ensuring that athletes can see every point on the track clearly on the track and avoiding their personal figure affecting their competition. The audience will not be dazzled by these lights from various angles, allowing them to fully enjoy the competition.

The roof of our entire venue is a pure steel frame structure, and the material for the top cover is aluminum magnesium manganese alloy material. The advantage of aluminum magnesium manganese alloy material is that it is lightweight and easy to shape. When looking down at our entire venue from a high altitude, it looks like two "6s" hooked together, like a roller skate.

CCTV reporter Sun Rui: In addition to the roller skating hall that we just experienced with a strong sense of technology, the Qiantang Roller Skating Center also has a skateboarding park full of creativity and challenges. Next, let's go to the skateboard park together and have a look.

There are about two people here who are my height, which is about 3 meters. This is one of the venues in the skateboard park, the Bowl Pool venue. As the name suggests, it looks like a big bowl here, surrounded by curved bowl walls. There are various heights and slopes here, for example, the angle of the bowl wall is close to 90 degrees, while the one under my feet is a bit slower. This rich route design actually provides athletes with greater space to play in the competition.

This is another competition venue in the skateboard park, street style. This simulates various scenes on the streets, with obstacles such as benches, stairs, handrails, and so on. This diverse terrain allows players to better showcase their skills and techniques during the competition. What will be the purpose of such a great venue after the competition?

He Yun, a staff member of the venue operation team at the Qiantang Roller Skating Center: Build a professional roller skating team, establish six roller skating characteristic schools, create a number of roller skating training bases, and continuously provide daily training to roller skating teams in provinces, regions, and cities. After the Asian Games, this venue will also be open to citizens, and we welcome everyone to visit our beautiful Qiantang Roller Skating Center by the Qiantang River.
