Why didn't the Winter Olympics award gold medals and raise the national flag?

The awarding ceremony of the Winter Olympics is different from that of the Summer Olympics.

Due to the cold weather during the Winter Olympics, for the sake of athletes and other factors, after the competition, prizes will only be awarded to the winners in the competition venues, and then medals will be awarded to the winners in specific award squares.

In the short track speed skating mixed team relay final of Beijing Winter Olympics, the China team, composed of Qu Chunyu of Fan Kexin and Wei Zi of Wu Dajing, won the championship in 2 minutes, 37 seconds and 348 seconds, winning the first gold medal for the China delegation.

However, after the competition, the three teams of gold, silver and bronze standing on the podium only received the mascot ice shield from the awarding guests, and there was no ceremony to award medals, raise the national flag and play the national anthem. Yang Yang, Chairman of the Athletes' Committee of Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games, revealed that a more grand award ceremony will be held in the award plaza the next day.
