Volunteers rise to the challenge and serve with a smile

"We added more training for pandemic prevention beforehand and had more medical volunteers at all the venues," Teng said.

"To cope with the working conditions in the mountain areas and low temperatures, we raised the requirements in recruiting volunteers, requiring them to be in better physical condition and to have more knowledge of winter sports."

Serving at the Games has been a special experience for the volunteers.

"We all love volunteering and we love the Olympic Games, so we became the volunteers here," said Wei Yining, a postgraduate student from Beijing Forestry University.

"The whole world is fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic, but because of the Olympic Winter Games, we gathered together and united together. It's so valuable for us to be together and inspire each other.

"I hope the warmth from all the volunteers here can stay with you all the time. And together with this unforgettable experience, we can head toward the future."
