Spring is blooming in Beijing 🌸, but the city's iconic Winter Olympic venues aren't slowing down! The National Speed Skating Oval—famously nicknamed the 'Ice Ribbon'—just hosted the National Speed Skating Championships, drawing 80+ top athletes from across the Chinese mainland. 🏆
From Olympic Legacy to Athletic Future
'Entering the Ice Ribbon still feels electric—like the Winter Olympics never left!' said 26-year-old speed skater Alemasi Kahanbai, representing the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. 🛷 His next goal? Dominating the 2025 Asian Winter Games and 2026 Winter Olympics.
Young talent is rising fast, too! 'New skaters are already competing at senior levels—this is China's speed skating renaissance,' Kahanbai added. With year-round events planned, Beijing’s venues aim to inspire Gen-Z athletes and fans alike. 💪
