US media comment on the 2022 Winter Olympics bid for competitive advantage in the city Date:2015-08-07 23:25
According to an Associated Press report, geopolitics played a key role in deciding who to spend on the Olympic Games. Today, when the International Olympic Committee decided that the 2022 Winter Olympics should be held in Beijing or Almaty in Kazakhstan, the situation may be even more so.
The contest between China and Kazakhstan is a competition between one of the most populous countries in the world, a rising global power with great economic power, and a young nation that wants to establish its position on the world stage.
In this context, after a low-profile bid competition, Beijing became the favored target and it will strive to become the first city hosting the summer and winter Olympic Games.
ICRC Vice President Craig Ridy said on July 30 that the overall feeling is that Almaty is doing better than most people think. People will certainly think that the influence of China alone in the world may be enough to make them win.
When they began to compete for the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympics two years ago, neither Beijing nor Almaty had much chance of locking in this scramble. However, after four European cities, including Oslo and Stockholm, withdrew for political or economic reasons, Beijing and Almaty found that they had become the only two remaining bid cities. Some were scared off by the spending of 51 billion U.S. dollars in Russia’s 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.
If the voting of 85 IOC members today is conducted in strict accordance with technological advantages, Almaty may have advantages because of its winter sports history and environment surrounded by natural snow-covered mountains. Seventy percent of Almaty’s venues are ready and all venues are compact, all within a 30-km radius. Prime Minister Karim Masimov said: Kazakhstan faces many challenges. However, ice and snow is our advantage.
Beijing will use several venues for the 2008 Summer Olympics, including the Bird’s Nest and the Water Cube.
Yao Ming, a former NBA star and member of the Beijing Olympics Olympics team, said: Inheritance is everything. The 2008 Beijing Olympics allowed us to experience the spirit of the Olympics. The Winter Olympics in 2022 will give us the opportunity to continue this spirit.
The Beijing Olympic Winter Games will be held in Yanqing and Zhangjiakou, both 60 and 140 kilometers away from Beijing. The planned high-speed railway project from Beijing to Zhangjiakou will shorten the distance between the two cities to 50 minutes.
Compared with Almaty, Beijing will rely heavily on artificial ice and snow. Chinese officials said they have sufficient water supply and snowmaking equipment to provide good competition conditions.
For Beijing, its advantage is the familiarity of the International Olympic Committee with China through the 2008 Summer Olympic Games and the trust that China can bring. China’s propaganda for winter sports in the north with a population of more than 300 million also resonates with the International Olympic Committee. The political and economic stability of the country is also a major advantage.
