Kuala Lumpur， Aug. 1 （Xinhua）—Golden is the word for the second handshake between the Olympic Movement and China， the world’s most populous and fast-developing country.

[2] When the International Olympic Committee trusted Chinese capital Beijing and co-host Zhangjiakou with the 2022 Winter Olympic Games on Friday in Kuala Lumpur， it grasped a golden opportunity to promote winter sports and the Olympic Movement further more in the country of 1.3 billion people after the 2008 Summer Games.

[3] The ambitious 2022 host has planned to push winter sports among 300 million people， which means almost the whole population of the United States will either get in touch with， become interested in， regularly practice or even excel at the sports in the next seven years.

[4] As Beijing boy Song Andong just became the first Chinese to be drafted in the National Hockey League in the US， more kids could be expected to follow his steps. Ice hockey， among many other winter sports， has gained growing popularity and the Winter Olympics is sure a huge boost for it.

[5] It will also be another opportunity for the IOC to put its Olympic Agenda 2020 to test as the profound reform put forth by IOC president Thomas Bach last year aims at keeping the ancient Olympic Movement vigorous and attractive.

[6] Beijing 2022 host has unfolded a Games plan that underlined the full alignment with the principles of the Olympic Agenda 2020 and stressed sustainability as one of the key pillars.

[7] Since the very inception of the bid， Beijing 2022 made its priority to design a Games that would be athlete-centered， sustainable and economical.

[8] Beijing 2022 will take full advantage of both the tremendous Beijing 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games legacy—including existing competition venues， infrastructure and people with deep operational experience—and having a clear vision of how the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games is integrated in China’s existing regional economic development plans.

[9] Thus， Beijing 2022 could be a good demonstration on how the Olympics stops being a white-elephant producer and benefits the people who embrace it.

[10] Golden era is also for the Chinese as well.

[11] In many ways， the Winter Olympics Games has already started to change people’s life for the better when Beijing announced its bid in 2013 with Zhangjiakou， a city from neighboring Hebei Province.

[12] Chongli County of Zhangjiakou， where about 50 gold medals will be on offer from snow events in 2022， turned from an unknown small place whose residents struggled at poverty line into a hot tourist destination in just one year.

[13] Most Chongli residents， who never had the chance to see Beijing， some 200 kilometers south of their home， will find it an easy journey—around 50 minutes of ride—to the heart of the country once an inter-city high speed railway completes in 2019.

[14] Back in Beijing， the host city geared up to clean its air， implementing a five-year plan starting from 2013 that cost 130 billion US dollars to upgrade heating system， cut car waste emission and close down heavy-polluted plants. Neighboring metropolitan Tianjin and provinces including Hebei adopted similar measures.

[15] A second five-year plan to further improve air quality is under study， according to Beijing mayor Wang Anshun.

[16] When the IOC handed the 2022 hosting right to Beijing， making it one and only city to stage both summer and winter Olympics， it made a safe and reliable choice， knowing the Chinese will live up to their commitments from top to bottom.

[17] Chinese President Xi Jinping has thrown his weight behind host Beijing， reiterating the nation’s passion for the Games in a video speech played during the final presentation to the IOC members on Friday.

He promised the Chinese people “will present to the world a fantastic， extraordinary and excellent Winter Olympics”.

[18] See you in Beijing in 2022.

2015年8月1日（新華社）吉隆坡——奥林匹克运动与世界人口最多、发展最快的国家中国再次结缘，这一次堪称金色握手。

[2] 2015年7月31日，国际奥委会在马来西亚吉隆坡授予中国首都北京和张家口2022年冬季奥运会联合举办权。继2008年夏季奥运会后，国际奥委会抓住了这一黄金机遇，在拥有13亿人口的中国进一步推进冬季体育运动和奥林匹克运动的发展。

[3] 2022的东道主雄心勃勃，已计划在3亿人口中推广冬季体育运动。这意味着，未来7年，将有几近美国全部人口那么多的中国人接触到冬季运动、对此产生兴趣、进行日常锻炼，甚或出类拔萃。

[4]继北京男孩宋安东成为第一个被美国冰球联盟选中的中国人后，会有更多的孩子追随他的脚步。在众多冬季运动中，冰球越来越受欢迎，而冬季奥运会必将极大促进此项运动的发展。

[5]对于国际奥委会而言，这也是检验其《奥林匹克2020议程》的一次机会。该议程由奥委会主席托马斯·巴赫在2014年提出，是一次具有深远意义的改革，旨在让古老的奥林匹克运动保持活力与吸引力。

[6] 2022东道主北京已展示了一份奥运计划，该计划充分诠释了《奥林匹克2020年议程》的原则，并将可持续性作为关键要素加以强调。

[7]竞选伊始，北京2022奥申委就着重设计举办一届以运动员为中心、可持续且节俭的奥运会。

[8]北京2022将充分利用北京2008奥运会和残奥会留下的巨大财富（包括现有的比赛场馆、基础设施和运营经验丰富的人员），并设立明确的目标，将2022年冬奥会及冬残奥会融入中国当前的区域经济发展计划。

[9]这样，北京2022将会成功证明，奥林匹克运动会不再是华而不实之物，而是能造福参与者。

[10]这也是中国人的黄金时代。

[11] 2013年，北京宣布和邻省河北的张家口市共同申办冬奥会后，人们的生活已在很多方面得到改善。

[12]在2022年冬奥会上，张家口崇礼县将产生雪上项目的约50块金牌。崇礼曾是一个不知名的小地方，当地居民挣扎于贫困线上;仅仅一年时间，那里就变成了热门旅游目的地。

[13]大多数崇礼居民以前从没机会到距离家乡以南约200公里的北京看看，等2019年城际高速列车通车后，他们只需大约50分钟车程就可到达祖国的心脏了。

[14]再看看北京，这座主办城市已经准备好净化空气，2013年开始实施五年计划，耗资1300亿美元升级供暖系统、减少汽车尾气排放及关闭污染严重的工厂。毗邻的大城市天津和包括河北在内的临近省份也采取了类似措施。

[15]北京申办冬奥阶段时任市长王安顺称，正在研究第二个五年计划，旨在进一步改善空气质量。

[16]国际奥委会将2022年冬奥会举办权授予北京，使其成为唯一一座既举办夏奥会也举办冬奥会的城市。奥委会的选择是安全可靠的，因为他们知道中国人将完全履行承诺。

[17]中国国家主席习近平全力支持北京申办冬奥。2015年7月31日最后一场面向国际奥委会委员的申办冬奥陈述中，播放了习主席的视频讲话，他在讲话中重申了中国对奥林匹克运动的热情。

他承诺，中国人民“一定能在北京为世界奉献一届精彩、非凡、卓越的冬奥会”。

[18] 2022年北京见！
