國家速滑館的冬奧測試賽
Another round of test events for the 2022 Winter Olympics has been completed, with a speed skating international test competition successfully held at the National Speed Skating Oval from October 8 to 10.
10月8日到10日，國際速滑測試賽在國家速滑館成功舉辦，這是2022北京冬奧會完成的又一輪測試賽。
Teams from China, the Netherlands and South Korea competed on the biggest ice surface in Asia, thus officially launching a round of 15 test events on the venue. More than 1,000 athletes, referees, staff and volunteers joined the three-day event at the National Speed Skating Oval, nicknamed the "Ice Ribbon".
國家速滑館也叫“冰絲帶”。來自中國、荷蘭和韓國的隊伍在館里亞洲最大的冰面上展開了激烈競爭。由此，15項測試賽正式拉開帷幕。超過1000名運動員、裁判員、工作人員和志愿者參加了在這里舉行的為期三天的比賽，
The venue was tested six months ago by domestic teams, but this time was different. "We've had some real Olympic stakeholders with us, from sports presenters to technical teams, some representing International Federations. They approved our criteria against the authentic Olympic standards," said Zhou Qiurui, deputy venue manager at the National Speed Skating Oval.
6個月前，國內運動隊曾在這個場地進行過測試，但這次不同?！耙恍蕚鋮⒓用髂甓瑠W會的相關人員，包括體育節目主持人、技術團隊以及國際聯合會的代表等都按照冬奧會正式比賽的標準對我們各項工作給予了肯定”，國家速滑館運行團隊常務副主任周秋瑞說。
Some athletes achieved their personal bests on the rink, which is made with environmentally friendly carbon dioxide cooling technologies, and this to some extent proves that the rink is lready up to the Olympic standard.
在采用環保二氧化碳冷卻技術的冰面上，一些運動員在測試賽中取得了個人最好成績，這在一定程度上證明了國家速滑館的冰面已經達到了冬奧會的標準。
After the test event, Chinese and international teams will further assess the facilities at the Ice Ribbon. The focus during the next stage of tests is better coordination among different units strictly based on the Olympic standards.
在測試賽結束后，中國團隊和國際團隊將進一步評估“冰絲帶”的設施。下一階段測試的重點是嚴格按照冬奧會的標準，加強不同部門之間的協調。
