Why didn't the Winter Olympics issue medals?

Because of the cold weather during the Winter Olympics, for the sake of athletes and other factors, after the competition, only prizes will be awarded to the winners in the competition venues, and medals will not be awarded for the time being.

The medals of the Winter Olympics will be awarded in a specific award plaza, and there will be some celebrations when the medals are awarded. This tradition of awarding medals has continued since 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics.

Beijing Winter Olympics Awards Plaza.

There are three award plazas in Beijing Winter Olympics: Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou. Among them, the stage of the Beijing Awards Plaza is called "Beautiful * * *", which is located between the National Stadium and the National Swimming Pool in the downtown area of Beijing, and is full of the beautiful meaning of "welcoming visitors from all directions and celebrating the Year of China".

The stage of Yanqing Paralympic Games Award Plaza is called "Tree of Life", which is located in the International Pavilion of Yanqing World Park in Beijing. The towering trees in the snow and ice are the main scenes, showing the mobilization spirit of the Winter Paralympic Games.

The stage of Zhangjiakou Award Plaza is called "Passion of Dreams", which is located in the central square of the ice and snow town of Chongli Prince City, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. The design combines skiing posture and snow mountain modeling to show the purity of ice and snow and the dynamic nature of skiing.
