\nThe Beijing Organising Committee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games has recently revealed major elements of the award ceremony, including the podiums, awards tray, tray stand, custom-made souvenirs for winners, victory bouquets, and outfits for the award presentation staff.
\nThe award ceremony of the Beijing 2022 has been planned based on the theme of \u201cIce and Snow, Glory and Honor.\u201d
\nAdhering to the guiding principles of \u201csimplicity, safety and excellence\u201d in hosting the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, the elements of the award ceremony have been generally given simple and elegant appearance and useful and practical functions.
\nThey were made from environmentally friendly and sustainable materials and reflect the wide participation and sharing among various parties at the event.
\nThe podiums, where medals will be presented, are made from recyclable and environmentally friendly materials. Colored sky blue in keeping with the main color of the color scheme for the Beijing 2022 Winter Games, they also incorporate core graphics combined with ice and snow lines of the event. For athletes\u2019 special needs, the podium of the Paralympic Winter Games has added a wheelchair ramp.
\nThe awards tray, also made from pro-environment materials, looks like an opened book, signifying that the Beijing 2022 shows to the world a new chapter of Chinese culture and friendliness among countries.
\nThe color of its edge features a blue and white gradient, which demonstrates the painting technique of \u201cyun ran\u201d in oriental art that creates the effect of ink meeting water. The special design of the edge of the awards tray symbolizes the integration of Chinese and global cultures and shows China\u2019s support for openness, friendliness, peace and inclusiveness.
\nA tray stand will be set up at the award presentation site so that trays with medals and souvenirs can be positioned properly beforehand. The stand is sky blue, with the words \u201cBeijing 2022\u201d on it.
\nCustomized souvenirs for medalists are the combination of the official mascots of the Beijing 2022\u2014Bing Dwen Dwen and Shuey Rhon Rhon, and a wreath featuring pine, bamboo and plum blossom, which are known as the \u201cThree Friends of Winter\u201d and symbolize tenacity, determination, and exuberant vitality. The gifts are designed to convey praise and respect for and good wishes to the medalists.
\nIn an effort to put into practice the concept of delivering frugal and sustainable Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Beijing 2022 will present hand-knitted bouquets to the medalists.
\nThe bouquet for winners at the Olympic Winter Games includes six types of flowers, namely rose, Chinese rose, lily of the valley, hydrangea, laurel and olive, which symbolize friendship, tenacity, happiness, unity, victory and peace, respectively. The color of the silk ribbon for the bouquet is blue from the Beijing 2022 color scheme, a symbol of winter sports.
\nThe bouquet for medal recipients at the Paralympic Winter Games has one more flower — blue coreopsis that symbolizes strong will. The silk ribbon of the bouquet for the Paralympic winners is yellow, which means liveliness and vibrancy.
\nThe outfits for the award presentation staff have three different designs named \u201cLucky Snow and Cloud\u201d, \u201cGreat Landscape\u201d and \u201cFlying Snow in Tang Dynasty\u201d. Each set of the uniform includes jacket, hat, gloves, boots and thermal underwear.
\nThe \u201cLucky Snow and Cloud\u201d outfit will be worn in all snow event competition venues; the \u201cGreat Landscape\u201d costume will be used in all ice event victory ceremonies; and the \u201cFlying Snow in Tang Dynasty\u201d costume will be used during award presentation ceremonies to be held at the Beijing Medals Plaza.
\nEach of the three series of the uniforms, which adopt elements of traditional Chinese painting and weaving patterns, includes a blue outfit for the person that leads the way and a red one for the person who holds the tray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
