You probably won't be able to watch the events in person, but don't worry, cutting-edge （尖立帝） technologies will offer you a great game-watching experience.With the support of 5G and cloud technologies, ordinary viewers will have the chance to enjoy the world's clearest broadcast technology, 8K broadcast in ultra-high definition （超高清晰度），from TV sets.Olympic Broadcasting Services （OBS） CloudA solid system for rebroadcasting （ 转播）Olympic events is the key to making sure that more people enjoy the top-level competition. Traditionally, rebroadcasting is requiring expensive broadcasting trucks and lots of production directors. But now, by cooperating with OBS, the Organizing Committee has built an intelligent cloud network, which can collect all on-spot ultra-high-definition （超高;青H析度）video, edit video materials and transmit them into multi-channel signals suited for TV or Internet video platforms or broadcasting in real time. Broadcasters and producers don't need to go to the scene and can further enhance（力口强）the video by adding graphics （冬I表）or text remotely, which helps with pandemic prevention efforts. Also, an on-site reporter can now use one small camera or a smartphone to livestream a sports event.“Free visual angle” technologiesAs speed and visual （视觉的）effects are two important characteristics of ice and snow sports, the Beijing 2022 organizers also developed many technologies to give people “immersive” （沉浸式）experiences with 360-degree replay and "free visual angle （自由视角）“ technologies. In the Wukesong Sports Center, dozens of cameras are set around the venue （场馆） to shoot competitions from different angles at the same time. Using aLacing up （系紧）her skates, Wang Yihan, a 16-year-old girl from Fujian gets ready to step out onto the ice, taking a few laps around the rink （滑冰场）to warm up for practice. After three years of training, Wang has already mastered the basics and is preparing to learn more complicated jumps and spins （旋转）.“Figure skating fascinated me with its grace and skill. Encouraged by my parents, I made up my mind to try it out J said Wang.Figure skating is one of the most anticipated （令人期待的）sports at the Beijing Winter Games. Back in the 18th century in the UK, the sport was popular among the aristocracy （贵族）.They liked to take to frozen ponds and lakes on rough （粗糙的）hand-forged blades （冰刀）to have fun. Gradually, more skating enthusiasts from Germany, the United States and Canada followed suit. In the 1860s, Jackson Haines, a US ballet dancer and skater, used more artistic moves like pirouettes （脚尖旋转）and dramatic jumps to make the sport less formal.Figure skating became a Winter Olympics event in 1924. On a 60m by 30m rectangular ice rink, skaters wearing eye-catching trousers, tights or skirts perform various movements. Skaters must complete two components: short program and free skate. In the short program, they need to finish specified （指定的） movements like jumps and spins. For the about four-minute free skate, they choreograph （编舞）intricate （复杂 的）and challenging moves including footwork, jumps or lifts accompanied by a musical track of their own design.Figure skating requires the athletes to focus on both technical and performance aspects of skating. "A really good skater needs to be able to look effortless when they perform their elements. Without strength, courage and years of practice, it's really hard to achieve that goal and make an emotional connection with viewers J Olympic gold medalist and US retired skater Scott Hamilton told CNN. “And thafs what I liked about it.”Attracted by its charm, many Chinese athletes have stepped onto the international figure skating stage in the past decades. For example, at the 2010 Winter Olympics, skating duo （双人组）Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo wonChina's first gold medal in the sport, breaking Russia's 12 Olympic gold medal winning streak （连胜）.At the 2021 International Skating Union Grand Prix series, skating duo Sui Wenjing and Han Cong took home the gold medal.l.What is the function of Wang Yihan *s story at the beginning of the article?A.

Since then, it has become an iconic （标志性的）Olympics structure, known across the world.Now, the stadium will also host the curling （冰壶）events for the Beijing 2022 Winter Games. So how can we turn the "Water Cube" into the “Ice Cube”？The most important change is to turn the swimming pool into a four-lane （四道的）curling rink （冰场）.The water will be drained （抽干）from the pool. Then, 2,600 H-shaped steel columns will go inside the pool. They will hold up a flat surface. The surface will be covered in a special insulating （隔热的）material. Finally, a sheet （片） of ice goes on top.It is the first time in the Olympics that curling competitions will be held on a sheet of movable ice.
