What's so special about the awarding ceremony of the Winter Olympics?

Take the 20 18 PyeongChang Winter Olympics as an example. In the post-game awarding session, winners usually get cute plush toy mascots when they stand on the podium after the game, but there are no medals. In fact, such a special way of awarding prizes is set up separately according to the uniqueness of the Winter Olympics.

Originally, due to the cold weather during the Winter Olympics, for the sake of athletes' health and other factors, after the competition, only the winners in the competition venues will be awarded prizes, and the medals will be awarded to the winners in specific award areas later.

This tradition has continued since 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics. At each subsequent Winter Olympics, the awarding ceremony will be arranged in the awarding square. Because the categories of the Winter Olympic Games are much less than those of the Summer Olympic Games, an award ceremony is usually held at the end of a day's competition to award medals to all the winners of that day.

In addition to the award ceremony, there will be celebrations and performances in the award plaza:

In fact, compared with the competition venues, the award ceremony in the award plaza will have an opportunity for more people to witness this glorious moment.

According to Aobei Group, the official sports exhibition and award ceremony service sponsor of Beijing Winter Olympics, the award plaza in the central area of Beijing Olympic Park will be equipped with a stage and seats, and the audience can witness the award ceremony.

The award plaza in Zhangjiakou Division is located in the ice and snow town of Prince Edward City. During the Beijing Winter Olympics, Zhangjiakou will produce 5 1 gold medals, the square will run for 14 days, and the award ceremony of 49 events will be held; During the Winter Paralympics, Zhangjiakou will produce 46 gold medals, the square will run for 7 days, and the awarding ceremony of 44 events will be held.
