On average, more than 20 awards are given out every day at the track and field competition. How to ensure everything goes smoothly at the Hangzhou Asian Para Games?
A total of 153 gold medals (excluding ties) will be produced in the track and field competition of the Hangzhou Asian Paralympic Games in 6 days, with an average of more than 20 awards per day. Taking October 25th as an example, 30 award ceremonies will be held that day. With such frequency, how does the Huanglong Sports Center ensure that the ceremony process is foolproof?
Award ceremony site
“Raising the flag and playing the national anthem are the most important parts of the award ceremony.” Zhang Ying, director of sports display and award etiquette at Huanglong Sports Center, said that on the surface, the award ceremony only lasts a few minutes, but behind it is a It is a very complicated and highly procedural process, from selecting the flag, tying the flag, to the flag raiser tying the flag flowers, raising and lowering the flag, and finally returning the flag to be ironed and hung up. There are more than 10 “processes”.
In the Huanglong Sports Center, there is a special flag preparation area, with hundreds of flags hanging in a room of less than 20 square meters. During the event, many volunteers will iron the flags to ensure that they are raised when the flags are raised. Tall and stylish. After the ceremony, the flag will be returned to this room, in good order.
Zhang Ying introduced that during the preliminary training process, every staff member must keep the flags of the 44 delegations in mind according to the manual issued by the Hangzhou Asian (Disabled) Organizing Committee. “To fully understand these flags, you must not only understand the overall pattern of the flag, but also have a clear understanding of the color types, the shape and direction of the color blocks, and even how many lines and circles there are on the flag.”
flag raised at award ceremony
It is understood that the entire awards ceremony consists of four personnel: the sports display on-site operator, the ceremonial tray bearer, the guest and athlete guides, and the flag-raiser. The on-site operator is required to accurately find and play the national anthem and anthem in the Asian Paralympic Games music library. The reporter learned that this year’s Asian Games and Asian Paralympic Games have a special black technology device called “one-click to talk”, which ensures that the flag is raised to the top of the flagpole at the same time as the national anthem is played.
This device reduces the workload, but in order to achieve zero errors, the sports exhibition department still prepared a “Plan B” to deal with emergencies – when the “Push to Talk” National Anthem cannot be played, it is responsible for backstage synchronization The staff will seamlessly play the backup national (congress) anthem; if a mechanical failure occurs during the flag raising, a flag guard will raise the flag manually. When there is a tie in rankings, the flag-raising system will switch from automatic to manual mode to ensure that the two flags are the same height.
Athletes at the award ceremony
“Our team is the original team that has experienced the Asian Games.” Zhang Ying said that large-scale comprehensive sports competitions mostly adopt the method of alternating competition and awarding. The awarding process of the Asian Paralympic Games is relatively concentrated, and it is also necessary to consider minimizing the number of games as much as possible. The waiting time for disabled athletes will be tight, but this team composed of college students is not afraid of the challenge.
In addition, the relevant person in charge said that at the Hangzhou Asian Paralympic Games, considering that the participating athletes have different types of disabilities, the sports display on the field must first ensure that the broadcast is accurate and professional, and secondly, more humanistic care will be reflected in the interaction with the audience. .
