On February 16, Zhao Weidong, spokesman of BOCOG, introduced at the press conference that BOCOG had determined the principle of holding the Winter Olympic Games and the Winter Paralympic Games at the same time at the beginning of its establishment. The construction of venues, event organization, event services, and publicity and culture will simultaneously promote the work related to the Winter Paralympic Games to ensure that "the two Olympics are equally brilliant".

In all preparations for the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games, the concept of "two Winter Olympics are equally wonderful" and the humanistic care of "athletes first" are demonstrated.

Scientific epidemic prevention is progressing steadily, and personalized epidemic prevention meets special needs. Entering the transition period from the Winter Olympic Games to the Winter Paralympic Games, there will be a large number of people entering and leaving the country. In this regard, BOCOG has taken complete epidemic prevention measures. In addition to learning from the experience of effective epidemic prevention during the Winter Olympics, BOCOG also took into account the special circumstances of the Winter Paralympic Games participants and implemented a humanistic epidemic prevention policy: for disabled athletes with abnormal temperature regulation, BOCOG will prepare materials for review and filing in advance; For those who may not be able to wear masks and need to wear protective masks, the Olympic Organizing Committee will also mark in advance... Scientific epidemic prevention will be combined with personalized epidemic prevention, and the Beijing epidemic prevention and control will be improvised for the Winter Paralympic Games.

The logistics support is strong and orderly, providing all-round services for the Winter Paralympic Games athletes. In the preparation work, relevant staff and volunteers are receiving training on knowledge and work skills of the Winter Paralympic Games. At the same time, taking into account the special needs of athletes of the Winter Paralympic Games, wheelchairs, orthotics, prosthetic repair centers and other special needs will be added; The Technical Maintenance Service Center will also provide free maintenance services for sports equipment and living aids for Paralympic athletes before and during the competition. In terms of medical care, the Olympic Organizing Committee has formulated a precise medical treatment plan. In view of the characteristics of sports injuries in each venue and the special circumstances of Paralympic athletes, medical personnel in different disciplines have been specially allocated, which truly realizes the medical security of "one policy for one game". All round logistics support will help athletes to participate in the Winter Olympic Games with peace of mind and success, and enjoy their own wonderful performance in the Winter Olympic Games!

Deepen the flow line of barrier free operation, showing carefulness and humanization. In the design and construction of the Winter Paralympic Village in the three competition areas, in order to unify the service standards while reducing the conversion workload and operating costs, the full coverage of barrier free facilities has been achieved in the open areas. In addition, in the transition period, the overall improvement will be carried out on the basis of the original barrier free facilities to deepen the barrier free streamline inside and outside the venue: transform the barrier free passenger elevator, gentle wheelchair ramp and barrier free toilet, add barrier free stands, conspicuous guide signs and multifunctional storage platforms with adjustable height to meet the needs of different disabled athletes. Every addition and transformation is committed to careful and humanistic services, demonstrating the strong humanistic care of the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games.

The Beijing Winter Olympics is coming to an end, the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games is about to start, the preparatory work is progressing steadily, and the barrier free concept will light up the humanistic care of the Winter Paralympic Games. Through the Winter Paralympic Games, Beijing will create a more inclusive society and convey the beautiful vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind.
