The Winter Olympic Games have clocked onto Beijing time following an 8-minute show unveiled at the PyeongChang closing ceremony on February 25.
The 8-minute preview, combining modern technology with traditional Chinese elements, was directed by Zhang Yimou, the man behind the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing.
Two ice dancers in special LED panda costumes led 22 other roller-skating performers in illuminating a grand picture of China’s past, present and future through a synchronized performance. Easily recognizable Chinese components including the Great Wall, dragons and phoenixes were all incorporated into the show’s visual language.
At the end, Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a welcome message via a prerecorded video. “Together with all Chinese people, I welcome friends from all over the world. See you in Beijing in 2022,” Xi said.
International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach had already handed the Olympic flag to Beijing Mayor Chen Jining earlier in the closing ceremony, as Beijing gets ready to become the first city in Olympic history to host both the Summer and Winter Games.
Late bloomers
China’s standing on the medal table at this year’s Winter Olympics—one gold, six silvers and two bronzes—is below par compared with the previous two iterations of the event. In Vancouver in 2010, China won fi ve gold medals, two silvers and four bronzes, while in Sochi in 2014, the country notched up four golds, four silvers and two bronzes.
China attended the Winter Olympics for the fi rst time in 1980 but had to wait for its fi rst Winter Olympics medal （silver） until the 1992 Albertville games. On that occasion, Chinese athletes won three silver medals, all by female speed skaters. Since then, this sport has become China’s strong suit at the Winter Olympics.
Ten years after winning its fi rst medal, China clinched a fi rst gold in Salt Lake City in 2002. Short track speed skater Yang Yang, born in 1976, clinched gold in both the women’s 500- and 1,000-meter events.
It wasn’t until 2006 in Turin that a male Chinese athlete claimed the highest Olympic honor, with Han Xiaopeng crowned freestyle skiing champion, which also marked China’s first Olympic title in the snow.
Turin also saw Wang Meng, born in 1985, win gold, silver and bronze in short track speed skating. In Vancouver four years later, Wang swept the women’s 500-and 1,000-meter events and 3,000-meter relay to become the most decorated Winter Olympian in China’s history.
