The 2022 Winter Olympics will open in Beijing on February 4, 2022. Today, less than a hundred days have passed since the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics. At the same time, the volunteer selection project for the Winter Olympics has also been completed. It is understood that in 2022, Beijing will become the world’s first “Double Olympic City”, which puts forward new and higher requirements for voluntary service.According to reports, the number of volunteers registered for the Beijing Winter Olympics exceeded 1 million, of which over 95% were 18-35 years old.
In this Winter Olympics, 27,000 Winter Olympics volunteers and 12,000 Paralympic Winter Olympics volunteers will participate in the Winter Olympics service.Volunteers for the competition will be distributed in the three competition areas of Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou and other places and facilities to participate in 12 types of voluntary services such as international liaison, competition organization, and venue operation.
The elimination rate of nearly 3/4 also allows the public to witness the enthusiasm of the volunteers for the Winter Olympics, and it also reflects the people’s mindset for their home and country.
As for the volunteers who failed to participate in the election, the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee also sent out heart-warming letters of encouragement.
A letter from the organizing committee exposed by netizens,Although there are some regrets between the lines, they are more touched and true to the Olympic spirit.
The following is the full text of the letter:
Thank you letter
Dear Competition Volunteer Applicant:
Hello!
Thank you for registering as a volunteer for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics. Thank you for your continued attention and support to the preparations!
At the beginning of 2020, the sudden new crown pneumonia epidemic swept the world, bringing huge impact and challenges to all aspects of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Since the deadline for registration of volunteers for the Games on June 30, 2021, in accordance with the requirements of “simple, safe, and exciting”, combined with the many uncertain factors brought by the global new crown pneumonia epidemic, according to the Beijing Winter Olympic Games venues (facilities) ) For the epidemic prevention and control policy, we adjusted the position of volunteers for the competition.
After comprehensively considering the knowledge and skills of all applicants, volunteer service experience, and job service intentions and conducting preliminary screening, we adopted interviews, online tests and other methods. After multiple rounds of selection, we have basically determined the candidates to be recruited for the competition.
We are very sorry to inform you that due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and the limitation of the number of volunteer service positions for the Games, we will not be able to provide you with volunteer service positions for the Games.
Although you have not become a volunteer for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, every volunteer applicant is a champion of excellent Olympic spirit and volunteerism.
Let us move towards the future together!
I wish you good health and success in your work!
Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics Organizing Committee
