With the Olympic flame (火焰) extinguished (熄灭), the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games drew to a close on Feb 20.
The president of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach described the Games as “truly exceptional (非凡的)”. “This unforgettable experience was only possible because of our gracious (亲切的) hosts, the Chinese people,”said Bach.
At the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games, a total of 2,897 athletes from 91 countries and regions competed for 109 gold medals. Through 17 days of outstanding performances, 17 Olympic records, including two world records, were broken. The Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games was the most gender⁃balanced (性别平衡的) to date, where 45 percent of the athletes were female.
As the first city to ever host both the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics, Beijing provided thoughtful service for all participants(参与者). It followed four principles—being “green (绿色), inclusive(共享), open (开放) and clean (廉洁)”,and three requirements—being “streamlined (简约), safe and splendid (精彩)”.
Still, the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games faced great challenges. It was the first international multi⁃sport event to be held on schedule during the COVID-19 pandemic. To deal with it, athletes were kept safe within a closed loop (闭环), preventing any imported cases (输入病例) from spreading to the public. Bach said China was one of the safest places on the planet and this was a great achievement.
Chinese food and culture during the Spring Festival impressed international athletes. Many shared photos and videos of the Games on social media.
The event, particularly, witnessed (见证) the rise of people born between 1995 and 2010. They made a name for themselves and inspired (激励) people around the world with their passion and courage. For example, 18-year-old Gu Ailing won two gold medals and a silver medal in freestyle skiing (自由式滑雪). She tried an amazing jump she had never tried before—four and a half full rotations (四周半旋转) in the air before landing backward (向后) in the big air event.

The mascots are a group of robots that show a deep cultural heritage（文化遗产） while being filled with contemporary vitality. They are collectively named “Jiangnan Yi, ” or “Memories of Jiangnan, ” which is inspired by a famous line from Tang Dynasty （618-907） poet Bai Juyi. “Recalling Jiangnan, my fondest memories are of Hangzhou, ” reads translation of the line. These mascots blend historical and cultural richness, natural ecology, and the innovative spirit of Hangzhou.
The robot Chenchen symbolizes the Grand Canal（大运河） , the world’s longest man-made waterway, and gets its name from the Gongchen Bridge, which has stood for over 400 years in the Hangzhou segment（部分） of the canal, holding cherished memories for generations.
Chenchen symbolically unites the Grand Canal, the Qiantang River, and distant lands across the seas. Its primary color is blue. On its head, it wears the Qiantang River’s tides, and its forehead features the Gongchen Bridge, leaving plenty of room for creativity and imagination.
