How is the heavy snow in the Winter Olympics formed?

Formation of snowflakes in the Winter Olympics: Under the action of high-pressure air, the water flow will be divided into tiny particles through special nozzles and then sprayed into the cold outside air. These small water droplets will solidify into ice crystals before falling to the ground, which is what people see as artificial snowflakes in the Winter Olympics.

The snow maker should consider the meteorological factors such as temperature, humidity, wind speed and wind direction, place the snow maker according to the wind direction and wind speed, control the compression and mixing ratio of water and air, and inject water into the water pipe of the snow maker.

Design Concept of Snowflakes in Winter Olympics

The core idea of snowflakes in the Winter Olympics comes from the phrase "Yanshan snowflakes are as big as seats" in Popular North by Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty in China.

When the athletes enter the stadium, the guide holds a "snowflake guide card" to lead the athletes to take turns to appear. Every "snowflake" takes China as its prototype, just like the light in a diamond, which is unforgettable.

CoCo Lee said that "Snowflake Guide" skillfully combines snowflakes with Chinese knot patterns, presenting a simple, ethereal and romantic ice and snow aesthetics with line modeling. China people's understanding of "harmony but difference, beauty * * *" is integrated into the design of snowflakes.

After the athletes entered the stadium, the guides gathered around the stadium with the "Snowflake Guide Card", and the "Little Snowflakes" of the delegations gathered into a big snowflake, echoing the five rings of ice and snow, and blending with the flags of the delegations, interpreting the vision of the world family "going to the future together".
