Chinese President Xi Jinping declared the Winter Games open after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach delivered a speech.

"This Year of the Tiger is also an Olympic Year," Bach said. "Both the Year of the Tiger and the Olympic Tiger stand for ambition, courage and strength. Today, thanks to this ambition, China is a winter sport country. Well over 300 million people are engaged in winter sports in about 2,000 ski resorts and ice rinks."

"Dear athletes," he added, "We are all standing with you. We are all supporting you. We are all cheering you on."

Zhang Yimou, who’s behind the epic opening ceremony of the Beijing Summer Olympics in 2008, was again the chief director for the 2022 Winter Games opening ceremony. Snowflakes were at the heart of his central idea for Friday night’s show, which featured them in two programs. The lighting of the Olympic flame also carried the same motif.

"Different snowflakes come to Beijing and assemble into a giant snowflake of humankind," Zhang said of his concept for the opening ceremony in an interview with China Media Group (CMG).

Delegations from over 90 countries and regions attended the ceremony, together with world leaders including Russian President Vladimir Putin, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, Argentine President Alberto Fernández, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres among others.

As part of the Olympic tradition, members of Team Greece were the first to enter the stadium during the parade of athletes, followed by Team Turkey. As the host of the Winter Olympics, Team China were the last to march. Speed skater Gao Tingyu and skeleton athlete Zhao Dan carried the Chinese national flag for the squad.

At the end of the ceremony, the Olympic Cauldron was lit at the center of the stadium by the torch that had passed through the hands of some 1,200 torchbearers, including Bach himself, during a three-day relay in the three competition zones of Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou.

In the following 16 days, some 2,900 athletes will compete in 109 events of 15 disciplines under seven sports at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 19, 2022 — DYNAYAK represents the great wilderness. North latitude 35, it’s the most difficult route to cross in the world. Moving to the west along north latitude under Kun Lun mountain, there’s the largest no-man’s land of China, Chang Tang. There’s about 1,700 KM toward the west along north latitude 35.

The outdoor expedition experience through Xijir Ulan Nuur, near to Hoh Xil no-man’s land of Qinghai Province is really unforgettable. At -40oC, the car fell into the icy lake, and all devices were flooded. The team had been trapped in such a severe environment for 66 hours without any power supply. This story even has been made into a documentary to remind other outdoor enthusiasts that a real outdoor power station should be made. Power supply could save the life at a critical moment. The freedom to use electricity bothered outdoor enthusiasts for so many years. There is no any power station in the world that can work stably in low temperature and harsh environment.

DYNAYAK decided to accept this challenge and break the limitation. Finally, the professional outdoor power station, N35, was born. N35 is designed to solve power supply problem at various of severe environments.

Innovative Waterproof Design

Featured on waterproof grade IP67, N35 is excellent waterproof and dust-proof, offering you safe power wherever you are. It still works very well even being immersed into water.

Strengthened Metal Casing

With rugged industrial design, we removed screen, switch and other elements which probably cause malfunction, instead of traditional indicator. The wooden handles make a very comfortable grip. And the innovative metal casing is coated with anti-corrosion material, which is built to last.

Integrated with cooling shell design, the whole casing is an effective cooling system. With free convection cooling solution and partitioned thermal control, it assures the even temperature inside the unit.

Power Everywhere

With 1200Wh capacity and 1800W AC output, N35’s advanced battery pack system enables you to power heavy-duty outdoor appliances and tools. The powerful 1200 Wh battery makes it perfect for camp, outdoors, and expedition, where it can easily power all your devices.

DynaYak offers a 120W solar panel in a foldable design. It features portable and IP67 water resistance. Available to connect five solar panels with N35 to achieve up to 600W input.

N35 has experienced a variety of tests in harsh environments with our team at plateau, no-man’s land, and desert. N35 bring the innovative power station to the people around the world, who are enthusiastic in expedition, outdoors, camping, van life and working at extreme environment.

CGTN: Exclusive with Spokesperson of Beijing Winter Olympics Organising Committee Zhao Weidong on Beijing 2022 Winter Games

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Jan. 12, 2022 — When Beijing first won the hosting rights for the 2022 Winter Games, the Beijing Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (BOCOG) made a promise to turn 300 million Chinese people into winter sports lovers. Zhao Weidong is a spokesperson of Beijing Winter Olympics Organising Committee and also the Director of the Media & Communications Department of Beijing Organising Committee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. Zhao did his best to get into the Olympic spirit by learning to ski, a sport unfamiliar to many in China. Zhao’s first foray into skiing was full of falling and frustration, but after a few lessons he gradually got the hang of it. His own experience of mastering skiing sets an example for many more Chinese to take up this activity, no matter the learning curve.

 

However, the global Covid-19 pandemic presents a hurdle that cannot be overcome with enthusiasm alone. With the pandemic still ongoing, the Beijing Winter Olympics Organising Committee is taking no chances with the safety of the competitors and staff. Beginning with the Tokyo Games last year, the IOC and the host city’s organizing committee have released playbooks to athletes and officials to ensure that all participants and residents remain safe and healthy. The second edition of the Beijing 2022 Playbook was released last month, which covered all COVID-19 countermeasures, including vaccination, customs entry requirements and game-time health monitoring and isolation. Beijing will deploy a closed-loop strategy to ensure that visiting athletes and officials can compete in a comparatively safe zone which is isolated from the general public. This strict strategy will ensure public safety and can serve as a template for future sporting events. Tickets for the upcoming Games will not be sold to overseas spectators or any spectators from high risk areas within China. In response to these restrictions, Beijing Winter Olympics Organising Committee has done trial runs for spectators at test events at the venues. Zhao and the rest of the Organising Committee are adamant that the Games can entertain fans of winter sports.

The success of the feature was evident within days of its launch when one Rario user witnessed a massive 111x return after selling a $2 card of cricketer Sheldon Cottrell’s "salute" celebration for $222. Early predictions within the community are expecting more 100x sales to follow suit.

The Marketplace feature will give collectors and fans the opportunity to obtain any desired Rario NFT that they may have missed out on in the initial pack drops. Buyer and seller privacy, security of the transaction, as well as delivery of the money and the NFT will be handled entirely by the Rario Marketplace.

Speaking about the launch of the Rario Marketplace, Rario Co-Founder and CEO Ankit Wadhwa said, "The fabric of a typical collector’s experience is made up of not only obtaining collectibles, but also having an opportunity to showcase their collection to the world and having the chance to trade with fellow enthusiasts. This remains true whether we speak of digital or offline collectibles. At Rario, our vision is to provide a one-stop shop for cricket fans and collectors around the world to be able to buy, sell, trade, and even showcase their collection on the platform at the Marketplace. A robust Marketplace takes us one step closer to digitally recreating an authentic experience for collectors and changing the way that fans interact with the game of cricket."

Counting down to Beijing 2022: Lighting up hope for a shared future

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Oct. 29, 2021 — A news report by China.org.cn on 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics:

The Shougang Park was once a steel plant, but now it is one of the venues for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Just over there, young freestyle skier Gu Ailing will be competing in the big air event in her first Winter Olympics.

 

"Something I’m dreaming about right now is to be able to compete in each (Alpine skiing) event (at the Beijing Winter Olympics) in China," said America’s two-time Olympic gold medalist Mikaela Shiffrin. After suffering from the death of her father and serious injuries in 2020, Shiffrin is finding her way back, hoping to rise to the challenge and surpass herself at the 2022 Beijing Olympics. Polish ski jumper Kamil Stoch, also an Olympic champion at the Sochi and Pyeongchang Winter Games, said he can’t wait for Beijing 2022, which will be his fifth Games. To this end, the 34-year-old has been training and competing strictly as planned. The British Olympic Association also recently announced their first batch of athletes for the Games. Team GB curler Bruce Mouat said that being able to participate in Beijing 2022 is the best evidence of all the hard work during the past four years.

Just like these athletes, many more are expecting the Beijing Winter Olympics. According to reports, the Australian Olympic Committee will take 41 athletes to Beijing, and Paralympics Australia will take nine athletes and two guides. Countries including the United States, Australia, Britain and Japan have all expressed their high expectations for the Games. Enabling the world’s best athletes to compete at the largest arena and carrying forward the Olympic spirit — these have become a global consensus.

With athletes from all over the world participating in the Games, the host city Beijing has been making all-out efforts to ensure everyone’s safety amid the pandemic. Regarding athletes’ needs for pre-contest training, a bio-secure bubble will be established for the Games. This means that all participants and staff members — from athletes and coaches, to drivers and chefs — will form a closed-loop, or to say, a moving and invisible "bubble" in all Olympic venues from Beijing to Zhangjiakou. Before entering the bio-secure bubble, overseas participants will either be fully vaccinated, or undergo a 21-day quarantine upon arrival in China, so as to prevent possible infections. Meanwhile, those inside the bubble can train and compete normally and receive medical tests, but without making contact with the world outside. In this way, the health of participants would receive maximum guarantee, at the same time, the expectations of athletes and spectators for the Games can be fulfilled as much as possible.

The world has long been under the shadow of the pandemic. As winter falls, the world needs dreams and passion to help ignite hope and light up the way forward. In February, let’s meet at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games, "Together for a Shared Future."

Leave a comment

NEW DELHI, Oct. 18, 2021 — Indian wicketkeeper and Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant bagged yet another lucrative deal as he signed on with cricket NFT platform Rario. He is the latest cricket star to capitalise on the rising popularity of NFTs by inking the exclusive partnership.

Rario, the world’s first officially licensed cricket digital collectibles platform, enables fans to buy and trade NFTs of their favourite cricketers and international leagues. Pant’s association will allow Rario to mint exclusive digital collectibles of the young stalwart’s iconic moments on and off the field.

Speaking on the partnership, Rishabh Pant said, "The past year of my career has given me very special moments, like the century against England in Ahmedabad or leading Delhi Capitals to the IPL playoffs. My innings in Gabba is also unforgettable. I am delighted to sign with Rario since the fans and I can preserve and enjoy these moments in a new way. I am really enjoying my cricket right now, and am certain there will be many more such innings that we can fondly look back at."

Based on blockchain technology, these NFTs give fans a chance to claim ownership over their favourite pieces of cricket history in a tangible, verifiable way. Recently, Rario also announced that they will be soon launching Rario Marketplace, where the users will be able to list and sell the cricket NFTs purchased on the platform. Additionally, it would be an opportunity for those who missed out buying the NFTs earlier. Cricket fans can interact directly with each other to showcase their collection or trade their Rario cards. The Rario Marketplace will recreate the nostalgia of conventional cricket card collection by creating a community for its users.

Rario Co-founder and CEO, Ankit Wadhwa said, "With every passing series, Rishabh Pant is cementing himself as a star not just for the present, but also the future. We are delighted to sign him on and give cricket fans around the world the opportunity to relive his explosive moments. The launch of our marketplace will elevate the fan experience, making it more interactive and dynamic."
