'You've got the power to know, you're indestructible, always believe in'
Great Britain has had to wait a while for a gold medal to materialize in Beijing, but has wasted no time in celebrating when it finally arrived on Sunday.
After the women's curling team beat Japan to secure Team GB's first Olympic gold in the event in 20 years, the Queen's Guard took to the grounds of Buckingham Palace to honor their triumph with a rendition of Spandau Ballet's 'Gold'.
"What a fantastic end to Beijing 2022," read a tweet from the official Royal Family account.

主办者对奥运健儿酒精消费量估计不足，最后一周开始，各种酒供应紧张。干杯！Cheers!

Bars and restaurants inside the Olympic bubble have started to run out of alcohol in the final week of the Games.
Teams of freestyle skiers from Canada, the US and New Zealand tried to celebrate their last night in China on Saturday after they competed in the halfpipe event.
But they soon exhausted the supplies of alcohol and mixers at the Lobby Bar in the Genting Resort Secret Garden hotel in Zhangjiakou, and the teams resorted to buying boxes of room temperature beer from the hotel shop -- around $35 for a box of 12 Tsingtao beers -- and sharing around bottles of neat spirits.
In the Marco Polo hotel in Beijing, four out of the five choices of red wine had sold out on a recent visit -- leaving only the most expensive option available at around $80.
The Westin hotel in Beijing and the Marriott hotel in the alpine ski area of Yanqing also had to reduce the number of alcohol options available on the menus as supplies ran low.
Getting supplies into the closed loop is challenging, with tight restrictions on food and drinks, and organizers may not have anticipated the amount of alcohol the foreign teams and media would go through during the Games.
Cheers!

Heading into the Winter Olympics, there was much talk of two host cities -- one inside a tightly-sealed bubble where the Games would be held, and one outside, where daily life would go on as normal.
But the past two weeks have also shown the world two very different Games: For China, Beijing 2022 was a resounding success that exceeded all expectations.
To the rest of the world, it remained a deeply polarizing event, that projected not only China's rising power but also its growing assertiveness, ready to defy and challenge its critics.
Covid: In its meticulously managed "closed loop," the ubiquitous face masks, spraying of disinfectant and daily testing have paid-off. Infections brought into the country were swiftly identified and contained, allowing the Games to run largely free of Covid.
Medals: In the medal tables, Team China claimed nine golds and a total of 15 medals, delivering its best ever result at a Winter Olympics -- and ranking above the United States. The stellar performances of its new Olympic stars -- from freeski sensation Eileen Gu to snowboard prodigy Su Yiming -- captivated fans, drawing an outpouring of pride.
Avoiding embarrassment: But for the Chinese government, part of the domestic success also comes from the avoidance of major political scandal or embarrassment. While the doping saga surrounding a teenage Russian figure skater has cast a shadow over the Olympics, it was downplayed inside China. The same was true of criticism of the Games in general, most of which was censored and blocked.
And much to the relief of government officials in Beijing, not a single athlete attempted to use the event to publicly protest China's human rights record -- a hot-button issue in the lead-up to the Olympics.

北京冬奥：闭幕式以及五个最被人忽略的看点

北京冬奥会正式落下帷幕。
北京冬奥会于本周日（2月20日）正式闭幕。经过近三周（2月4-20日）的比赛，东道主中国获得了9枚金牌和15枚奖牌，排名第3，排在第一名的是挪威。英国队共获得一金、一银两枚奖牌。
北京也成为现代奥运历史上，首个先后举行夏季和冬季奥运会的城市。
但北京冬奥会不无争议，从一开始美国和多个国家宣布外交抵制冬奥会，到赛事场地缺少降雪、新冠疫情、韩服之争等，都为这次冬奥带来巨大挑战。

奥林匹克火焰熄灭，冬奥会正式结束。
2022北京冬奥你都关注了哪些看点？可能是美国出生长大却代表中国比赛的谷爱凌，或者是陷入禁药风波的15岁俄罗斯花滑选手瓦利耶娃。
但除此之外，还有哪些引人注目的焦点被人忽略，BBC本文就介绍2022北京冬奥五个最被人忽略的看点。
第一个赢得个人金牌的黑人女性

美国速度滑冰选手埃琳·杰克逊赢得金牌创造了历史
美国速度滑冰选手埃琳·杰克逊（Erin Jackson）2月13日赢得女子500米项目金牌，创造了历史纪录。
上一届2018年平昌冬奥，杰克逊参与该项目比赛排名第24位，成绩并不理想。
但是在2022北京冬奥上，杰克逊领先冲过终点线，成为冬奥历史上第一个赢得个人项目金牌的黑人女性。
在比赛结束后杰克逊表示，“我希望能发挥效应，未来能看到更多少数群体出来参与冬季运动。”

冬季奥运一直不能摆脱少数群体代表比例不足的问题，2018年新闻网站“Buzzfeed”所做的一项研究显示，平昌冬奥将近3000名选手中，黑人选手只占不到2%。
同性伴侣同场竞争
巴西钢架雪车选手妮科尔西尔韦拉（Nicole Silveira）和比利时钢架雪车选手基姆·迈勒曼斯（Kim Meylemans）是一对同性伴侣，她们两人也在北京冬奥赛场上同场较劲。虽然两人在钢架雪车项目比赛上都没有获得任何奖牌，但这并不影响她们享受一起在赛场上竞争的乐趣。
事实上，本届北京冬奥非异性恋选手人数突破以往纪录，根据关注非异性恋运动员议题的网站“Outsports”统计，一共有来自14个国家，36名非异性恋选手参加比赛。

截至2月15日，非异性恋选手已经获得两枚金牌，包括法国花滑选手纪尧姆·西泽龙（Guillaume Cizeron）以及荷兰速度滑冰选手伊琳·维斯特（Ireen Wust）。
韩服争论
北京冬奥在尚未登场之前就受到了美国和部分其他国家的抵制，部分国家决定不派官员参加，让北京冬奥在尚未开幕之前就陷入外交风波。但在北京冬奥开幕式上，穿着传统朝鲜族服装的表演者作为中国少数民族代表出现表演环节，引发了韩国官方的不满。
中国驻韩大使馆的声明指，中国各民族代表身穿传统服饰出席冬奥会开幕式是“他们的心愿，也是他们的权利”，同时重申有关服饰也是中国文化的一部分。

这不是中国和韩国之间第一次发生类似的争端，过去两国也因为泡菜起源发生过争论。
年龄只是个数字
你印象中的奥运选手年纪多大？20不到的青少年，还是20岁出头的年轻人？你可能要再想一下。德国速度滑冰选手，50岁的克劳迪娅·佩希施泰因（Claudia Pechstein）已经是第八次参加冬奥比赛，虽然在3000米项目比赛排名最后一位，并不影响她的成就。

琳赛·雅各贝利斯和尼克·鲍姆加特纳单板滑雪障碍混合团体赛中夺得金牌
美国单板滑雪选手琳赛·雅各贝利斯（Lindsey Jacobellis）和尼克·鲍姆加特纳（Nick Baumgartner）两个人的年龄加起来有76岁，而且他们两人在北京冬奥首次举行的单板滑雪障碍混合团体赛中夺得金牌。
40岁的鲍姆加特纳也是冬季奥运单板滑雪项目中年纪最大的奖牌得主。
海湾国家首次参加冬奥
2022北京冬奥，是海湾国家首次有选手参赛：沙特阿拉伯的选手法伊克·阿卜迪（Fayik Abdi）参加了高山滑雪的比赛。
