(220218) -- BEIJING, Feb. 18, 2022 (Xinhua) -- An ice maker maintains the track at the National Sliding Centre in Yanqing District, Beijing, capital of China, Feb. 15, 2022. At the National Sliding Centre in Yanqing District, Beijing, a team of ice-making and repairing workers are engaged in the maintenance of the track for the sliding events.    The sliding track at the National Sliding Centre is the first of its kind in China, where competitions in bobsleigh, skeleton and luge are held during the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.    The ice-making work of the track includes ice-making, ice repair, ice replenishment, cleaning and sprinkler maintenance. The work on the long track with many hyperbolic curves is a semi-outdoor activity.    The sliding track functions properly only when under high-standard conditions, such as the right cooling temperature and strict cleanliness on the track surface. Since different competitions take place in different conditions, ice thickness and ice making techniques have to be adapted to the variations accordingly, which puts the skill and physical quality of the ice makers to the test.    Making and maintaining the track, which looks like a winding dragon perched on top of the mountain, can be as difficult as taking care of a piece of art. The world's sliding track ice makers are almost exclusively "foreign faces", but with the success of Beijing's bid for the Winter Olympics, training local ice makers for the "Snow Dragon" has become an imperative issue.     After more than two years of intensive training and construction process, Chinese ice makers have mastered sound techniques, bid farewell to immaturity and made their debut in the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
