Gangwon Province announced on the 31st that it will complete facility repairs at nine stadiums 80 days before the opening of the 2024 Gangwon Winter Youth Olympic Games and hand them over to the Games Organizing Committee.
In order to utilize the facilities for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the province began renovation work on the stadium by investing 10 billion won in national and provincial funds in January of last year, and when the completion rate recently reached 100%, it was tested and handed over to the organizing committee for the 2024 Gangwon Winter Youth Olympic Games.
It has arrived.
The Gangwon Youth Olympic Games, which will be held for the first time in Asia, will be held in Gangneung, Pyeongchang, It will be held in four locations in the province, including Hoengseong and Jeongseon.
The competition will be held in 15 sports across 7 events, including skating, ice hockey, curling, bobsleigh/skeleton, luge, biathlon, and skiing.
The speed skating stadium in Gangneung Olympic Park, where the opening ceremony of the Gangwon Winter Youth Olympics will be held, has been renovated to meet international standards and is ready to reignite the excitement of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics five years ago. Finished.
Ahead of this competition, the International Skating Union (ISU) requested repairs to the floor and refrigeration pipes through an on-site inspection, and after repairing these, the province mobilized four test skaters from the ISU to check the ice quality.
It was also confirmed that there were no problems with the operation of Olympic ice-making equipment, such as ice makers and freezers.
The nearby hockey center also completed replacement work on stadium lighting, compressors, and air conditioner filters.
The Ice Arena, which had installed a floor and held various events since the PyeongChang Olympics, had the floor removed again ahead of this event.
Figure skating and short track competitions are held here.
The curling center replaced stadium lighting and refrigeration compressors with state-of-the-art facilities.
Pyeongchang Alpensia Stadium for snow sports has also been renovated.
Sliding and snow sports are scheduled for this competition at Pyeongchang Alpensia Stadium.
The sliding center, where bobsled, skeleton, and luge competitions are held, had its access roads and drains repaired, and the start house's heater, etc. were repaired.
The biathlon center paved the shooting range and reinstalled the existing fence.
The ski jumping center, where ski jumping and Nordic combined competitions are held, has repaired the landing hill, where athletes land after jumping, and improved the entry stairs for athletes.
The Pyeongchang Alpensia Stadium facilities were completed relatively early because the existing facilities could be used immediately.
Jeongseon Downhill Stadium safety net recently completed… “It is not comparable to Saemangeum.”
Unlike other stadium repairs, the work of installing safety nets in the downhill stadium at Jeongseon High1 Resort took a relatively long time because it was constructed using materials from a company designated by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
When the materials ordered from Europe entered the port of Busan on the 4th, the province began construction to install a 700m safety net and recently completed it.
In addition, ground preparation work for mogul competitions was completed.
Hoengseong Welli Hilli Park, where freestyle skiing and snowboarding competitions are held, strengthened the slopes and replaced the lighting tower.
Considering that this tournament will be held in the middle of winter in the harsh cold, the province decided to expand the waiting space for youth athletes and provide sufficient heating facilities in conjunction with the organizing committee.
In addition, to prevent hypothermia among competition staff, we plan to minimize the time they are exposed to cold waves by providing them with winter uniforms, winter shoes, winter gloves, and hot packs.
Cold weather shelters will be operated for tourists outside the stadium, at bus terminals, and at major tourist attractions, and cold weather items such as blankets, hot packs, and hats will be provided.
The province also dismissed concerns raised by some in the aftermath of the Saemangeum Jamboree disruption, saying, “It is not a subject of comparison.”
The venue for the Gangwon Youth Olympic Games has already been proven through the much larger Pyeongchang Olympic Games five years ago, and practice matches were held this year as well, so there will be no problems in holding this competition. 스포츠토토사이트
A provincial official said, “As the renovation of the Gangwon Winter Youth Olympic Games stadium has been completed, testing has been completed and it has been handed over to the organizing committee.
There is no problem in holding the competition right now.”
He also explained, “Some people are worried about the Winter Youth Olympics due to the Saemangeum Jamboree disruption, but the facilities for the event have already been verified through the PyeongChang Olympics.
We will do our best to make it a safe event by thoroughly inspecting the extreme cold measures.”
