w88 casino News Network (Olympic frontline publicity and reporting team draft)National Convention Center Olympic Fencing Hall, in2008As the main venue for fencing, modern pentathlon (fencing, shooting), and wheelchair fencing in the Beijing Olympics, it carries the enthusiasm of a group of young people and is completing its mission step by step. As a temporary venue, people will not see this fencing hall again after the Olympics. However, the story that happened in the fencing hall will leave a wonderful legacy to those involved.
from w88 casino18Olympic volunteers, all working in the competition organization business department. This is a team that is at the core of the entire gymnasium. Our work directly contacts athletes, coaches, referees, senior officials of fencing federations, etc. from all over the world. Our words and deeds will be the first window to show our fencing volunteers.
The work process of the competition organization covers every aspect of the athletes from entering the stadium to leaving. Our work is a train heading for the highest podium of the Olympic Games——
Starting Station: Athletes Entrance
[Information Volunteer]
After the athletes arrive, the first thing they do is to ask the information station for the day’s match list and various related information they need. On the exhibition board, we will post the fencing event results as soon as possible; in the information grid on the back, we have prepared the information required by different countries and provide accurate information to the participating teams; on the reception desk, we put a map in Chinese and English versions to record the places where athletes go most often and how to get there. We welcome batch after batch of athletes with our best smiles and services.
Olympic story:The room temperature of the fencing hall is generally maintained at169061_9151TA thin sweater is often worn over the shirt. It is not easy to work under such conditions.
Next stop: training venue
[Volunteer at the training venue]
The training ground is located on the first floor of the fencing hall. The spacious training ground is laid out in an orderly manner with more than a dozen metal sword paths, and a timing scorer is placed next to it. Due to the large number of participating teams, each team is arranged to train in different units. Volunteers need to maintain the order of the venue, check whether the people passing through the entrance comply with the access permissions, and also need to prevent some emergencies.
Olympic stories:Volunteer Zhang Fang is a volunteer at the training site. One day when she was on duty, she suddenly heard a "bang bang" sound. After checking around, she found that it was an Italian athlete facingTen metersHow tallBOBThe broadcast station waved its sword repeatedly, acting as a target. Zhang Fang quickly ran over to stop him. Due to the language barrier, she had to patiently and slowly tell the athlete what she meant. After understanding the intention, the Italian athlete expressed his embarrassment and returned to his kendo to continue training.
[Athletes Lounge Management Volunteer]
In the athletes’ lounge, drinks and snacks are prepared for athletes during breaks. Our volunteers are required to provide attentive service to athletes and coaches entering the lounge and answer their questions.
Olympic stories:The athletes’ lounge on the first floor is considered the “home” of volunteer Wang Nan. He and a Coca-Cola catering volunteer guard this pure land. As a boy, he often plays the role ofUPSStaff, delivering first-hand information and information to athletes and staff.
[Equipment Inspection Volunteer]
The equipment inspection room is located next to the athletes' lounge. Our volunteers are responsible for translating and helping equipment inspection officials and athletes complete the inspection of their equipment. Even though it is just a translation job, there is a lot of knowledge involved. You need to understand and memorize the relevant Chinese, English, and French vocabulary of fencing terms. There can be no negligence in the entire translation process, otherwise it will have serious consequences.
Olympic story:Volunteers Fu Shi and Steve are the volunteers responsible for equipment inspection and translation in w88 casino. During her usual breaks, Fu Shi would always hold an English notebook with many English-specific terms for fencing written on it. This was a required course for her every day in the early days of her service at the Olympic Games.
Next stop: warm-up venue, warm-up venue
[Warm-up venue volunteer]
The pre-warm-up and warm-up venues are set up on the third floor of the fencing hall, with only a wall separating them. Athletes arriving on the third floor are about to compete on the fourth floor, so the services provided to them are particularly demanding. They need to always pay attention to their pre-match mentality to avoid affecting their competition emotions.
Olympic stories:"Is Italy okay! Hurry up and get them up to prepare for the game!" "I've already urged them, and they said they will practice for another five minutes!" Dialogue like this will appear before every game, and volunteers at the warm-up venue must cooperate with the technical officials in advance40Minutes brought the athletes to the inspection room on the fourth floor, but it was inevitable that athletes from many countries wanted to practice a little longer. Therefore, dialogues in Chinese, English, and French with content like this will appear from time to time. Prompting politely is a must for volunteers here.
Next stop: Inspection room
[Equipment Inspection Volunteer]
This is the place where athletes’ equipment is finally inspected before entering the competition. The inspected swords will be put in the sword bag of the athlete’s kendo color and brought to the competition venue by volunteers. The volunteers here also have to cooperate with the officials' inspection work and express the meaning of both parties accurately without making any mistakes.
Olympic stories:"Please tell him that his sword does not meet the competition requirements. There are two small screws missing." This is the translation of a sentence that volunteer Fu Shi still remembers. She said that when she first started, she really didn’t know how to translate. Many of the words she would not normally say in English were words such as controller cables, masks, etc., which were all rare words. After the Olympics, my vocabulary has grown a lot!
[Volunteer in the Inspection Room]
The work in the inspection room is extremely busy during peak hours. All personnel must be lined up in the order of appearance and arranged to play according to the time of the sports show and broadcast. It sounds simple, but there are a lot of difficulties involved.
Olympic story:"Please line up in order. Guide, four athletes, team leader, coach,3referees. The yellow kendo guys go first, then the blue, green, red..." This is what w88 casino volunteer Wang Mengfei said the most in the inspection room. Depending on the individual competition and the team competition, the ordering is different. In addition, each country has different languages and different names. It is really not easy to line up people from all over the world. Most of the time, they have to be inspected at one time60With so many people around, the entire inspection room will be very busy at this time.
Next stop: competition venue
[Staff Channel Verification Volunteer]
The staff passage is an access place specially provided for the staff in the competition venue. This passage needs to avoid the entry and exit of all other people. At the same time, the team doctors of the participating teams need to be released here and led to their location according to the kendo of their country.
Olympic stories:To sum up, volunteer Li Siwei already has his own method: recognize familiar faces, recognize cards clearly, and ask superiors for instructions in special circumstances. This passage is a place where staff often come and go, so the same person cannot be verified all the time. Recognizing familiar faces is the first priority. Team doctors from various countries sometimes want to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak into the competition venue. Therefore, it is necessary to grasp the game information in time and release the doctors of the national teams who are participating in the competition. They must recognize the cards clearly and see the country and position before release. In special circumstances, such as sports show dancers and Fuwa actors, they also need to pass here to perform, but they cannot carry identity registration cards when performing, and they must be distinguished according to their costumes.
【ITO/NTOLounge management volunteer】
This is where international and domestic referees rest. Keeping the resting area tidy and helping referees keep in touch are what volunteers here need to do.
Olympic Story: Volunteer Yi Tingting isITOThe manager of the lounge. The fencing competition is in its later stages, manyITOWe are tired of eating the lunch provided by the venue, so we ask our volunteers to help buy McDonald's. Yi Tingting still remembers that ordering menu:4Big Mac set meal,1Double-layer custard set meal,1Chicken salad,1apple pie,3Medium serving of potatoes...
Next stop: Mixed Zone
[Mixed Zone Management Volunteer]
The mixed area is the only way for athletes to pass through after the competition. This is where front-line media reporters from all over the world gather. It is the mission of the volunteers here to ensure that athletes pass here and complete the exit diversion of athletes, coaches, referees, and sword bag volunteers.
Olympic stories:Some athletes are happy and some are worried. When it comes to those who have achieved good results, many media interviews will be accepted, but they must control their interviews3About minutes; if you encounter someone who loses the sword, he will either switch to another lane and exit. At this time, you have to chase him back, or enter the mixed zone and smash the wall and baffle to throw the sword. At this time, you have to bite the bullet and lead him to the group of reporters, and be careful not to be poked by the sword. Volunteer Cheng Long pointed to a big hole in the wall of the mixed area and said: "This is what the athletes smashed with their hands. ”

After the last day of competition, all the fencers came to the competition venue to take photos. We hung three five-star red flags in the fencing hall, and we stood on the high platform of the finals and said silently:I will miss you .
The gold medal here belongs to all fencers, and the honor here belongs to all fencers.
