Podcasts about beijing olympic games

In 2013 whilst taking part in the Pro Gymnastics Challenge as part of the World team I heard a familiar voice introduce himself to me. Mike Chanales had been the cameraman, coach, physio, sports psychologist and best friend to Paul and Morgan Hamm as they attempted to make a comeback ahead of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Mike fell in love with the sport of Artistic gymnastics in the early nineties and went on to represent the Ohio state university college gymnastics team in the NCAA championships. Following his competitive career Mike began a profession in medicine and later married Dominique Moceanu the 1996 Atalanta Olympic champion who was part of the famous magnificent seven women's US gymnastics team. Throughout his gymnastics journey Mike spent time with some of the very best gymnasts in the world and he is now coaching his son Vincent who has aspirations of reaching the highest level in the sport. This is one of the very best conversations we've had on the podcast and I want to thank Mike for being such an incredible human being. And this is his story.

I am excited to welcome two-time Olympian Jason Brown who became one of the youngest male figure skating Olympic medalists after winning a Bronze Medal at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi. Jason achieved international stardom at a young age, known for his craftsmanship on the ice. But he says no program has meant more to him than the one he took to the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games: a free skate routine to the soundtrack of “Schindler's List.” In this conversation, the Highland Park, Illinois native discussed how he faced a significant roadblock in 2018, failing to qualify for the Olympics, feeling burned out, and even contemplated retiring at age 23. After some time, Jason decided to commit himself to the sport and prioritized performing for his happiness, not to please outside forces. That dedication and mindset helped Jason reach his goal of attending the 2022 Olympics, where he earned a personal best in the free skate and short program.  Episode Resources: Jason Brown's 2022 Beijing Olympic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBgrmC_Vxvk (free skate routine) to the soundtrack of “Schindler's List” Download this episode of For Your Listening Pleasure wherever you get your podcasts!

If you'reinterested, check out the show on July 21!All of this beganin 1993. At that time, China's Beijing Municipality bid to host the 27thOlympic Games in 2000, mainly because 2000 was the beginning of the 21stcentury, a year of great significance, but because of the difference of 2 votesto Sydney. Later, in1998, Beijing announced its bid to host the 2008 OlympicGames, because the pronunciation of the number "8" is similar to “fa”(gettinglots of money) in Chinese. On February 1, 2000, the emblem of the BeijingOlympic bid and the slogan "New Beijing, New Olympic Games" weredetermined, and the website for the Bid was officially opened.The mostsurprising thing happened on July 13, 2001.

Last winter, when China ordered tens of millions of people back into a pandemic lockdown, executives inside the $170 billion automotive aftermarket parts industry took a deep breath. Jeff Shepherd, CFO of aftermarket giant Advance Auto Parts, says that the possibility of another China shutdown had just not been part of Advance's procurement calculus. Still, parts “in stock” at Advance stores during 2022 have dropped only a few percentage points from their usual inventory level in the “mid-90th” percentile, according to Shepherd, who credits the anticipation of yet another China-related event as further evidence of Advance's astute procurement practices.   “The last time China hosted the Olympics, they shut the power down and they shut the factories down. So, during the Games, you can't get product out and it's not being manufactured,” explains Shepherd, who notes that Advance's procurement team anticipated a China shutdown in February due to the Beijing Olympic Games.  “We started doing a lot of buying late last year and very early this year,” comments Shepherd, who reports that not unlike those of its competitors, Advance's 2021 supply chain troubleshooting efforts were related mostly to bottlenecks at U.S. ports and a confounding shortage of truck drivers.   “We're not out of the woods now—I will tell you that it's not perfect,” remarks Shepherd, regarding the existing supply chain challenges inside the U.S. However, if Advance's “in stock” levels stay in line, the company may have a read on future developments in China. Says Shepherd: “I can't take credit for knowing those things, but we were indeed able to get out in front of the China shutdown, and our ‘in stock' percentages are now nearly back to their pre-pandemic levels.” –Jack Sweeney

Though the FasterSkier team would select other highlights from the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games, one of the most read articles we produced featured the responses of members of the ski community to a story published on February 8th by the New York Times, which included the following quote:“In a sport that has so many women with massive shoulders and thighs, Diggins looks like a sprite in her racing suit, and it's not clear exactly where she gets her power. But the power is there, as she flies up hills, and comes off climactic turns with a burst. On the downhills, she tucks low and cuts through the air.”Following the initial backlash sparked by the quote has prompted a number of insightful conversations – and questions – on how athletes, men and women, are portrayed by the media, whether there is room for descriptions or comparisons of athletes' bodies to narrate a scene for a reader, and how the landscape of sports media has shifted with time.For this discussion, FasterSkier brought together a panel that spans both the athlete and media perspective on the issue.Perhaps needing the least introduction for this audience, the first voice you'll hear belongs to Rosie Brennan. In addition to her role as one of the top American cross country skiers for more than a decade, Brennan is also an advocate for the organization Voice in Sport which provides mentorship for developing female athletes across all sports. And she was a member of the women's Olympic skate sprint final in Zhangjiakou, taking fourth place just behind Diggins, the race which sparked the discussion in the first place.The second belongs to professional trail and ultra runner Corrine Malcolm, whose first go at professional endurance sport was in biathlon, from which she retired in 2014 after experiencing overtraining syndrome, likely coupled by relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S). Alongside her athletic career, Malcolm has become a coach for other endurance athletes, while also becoming an advocate for women in sport, and has also engaged with this topic from the media side of the coin while calling some of the top ultra running events worldwide, including the Western States Endurance Run in California and the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) which begins and ends in Chamonix, France. She's also the co-host of an engaging podcast called Trail Society, which dissects challenging topics in the trail and ultra-running space.We've also got Brian Metzler, an award-winning veteran journalist and author in the endurance space who currently writes for a number of publications including Outside, Competitor, Women's Running, Triathlete, and Trail Runner magazines. Writing with perspective from his own athletic career, Metzler is Colorado Running Hall of Fame inductee (2015) who adventures on foot, ski, and sometimes alongside a burro, throughout the high country of Colorado. Lastly, you'll hear a cameo from our own Nat Herz, on lunch break from his “real job” as a full-time reporter for the Anchorage Daily News. Having written for FasterSkier from 2009 through 2015 before making a return this year as our 2022 Olympic Correspondent and co-host of the Devon Kershaw Show, Herz shares insights from his time covering cross country skiing paired with those from behind a very different desk.Some of the talking points discussed include:  Initial responses to the NY Times story A writer's responsibility to be informed on the sport being covered, in addition to the physical and/or mental health challenges that may be pervasive in that setting Differences between American and European media, and shifts in focus, norms, or trends in sports media Differences, or lack thereof, of covering athletes of different genders Thanks for listening, and to this episode's sponsor, the Craftsbury Outdoor Center. Please note that the Craftsbury Green Racing Project Ski and Biathlon teams and U23 summer programs are currently accepting applications for the upcoming training year, which will close on April 10th.

Regardless of where they are held, nationalism and identity affect how the Olympic Games are portrayed and perceived.  In an interview conducted on February 22, 2022, New York Times correspondent Amy Qin and University of Hong Kong history professor Guoqi Xu discuss issues of national and individual identity at Beijing Games.

The mascot for the Beijing Winter Olympics, Bing Dwen Dwen, has enjoyed an increasing rise in popularity. It seems to have taken the gold for the most favored prop for athlete snapshots. Such has been the surge in popularity that products with its image are difficult to get in the Winter Olympic Village. The question "do you have Bing Dwen Dwen?" is now a form of greeting. Some say the mascot has become the best ambassador for the Beijing Winter Olympics. 北京2022年冬奥会吉祥物“冰墩墩”圈粉无数，俨然已经取代金牌成为运动员合照时的新宠儿。“冰墩墩”大受欢迎，冬奥村里“一墩难求”。“你有冰墩墩吗”成了流行问候语。有人说，“冰墩墩”成了北京冬奥会最好的形象大使。The popularity stems mainly from its naive and cute appearance. Its shape combines the image of a panda with an ice crystal shell, inspired by the "ice ribbon" of the National Speed Skating Oval. The flowing color lines symbolize the ice and snow sports track. The design, full of modernity and technology, conveys the charm of China and expresses the beauty of the Olympic Games.“冰墩墩”吸引人之处，主要来自它憨态可掬的模样。其造型将熊猫形象与冰晶外壳相结合，灵感源自国家速滑馆“冰丝带”。流动的色彩线条象征着冰雪运动赛道。充满现代感和科技范儿的设计，传递着中国神韵，也表达着奥运之美。There have been continual demands to increase supply and end the shortage. A toy manufacturing company, located in Qidong, Nantong, Jiangsu province, is one of the three companies in China that participate in designing and manufacturing the mascot. Currently, the company is stepping up its production to meet market demand.连日来，催补货的呼声居高不下。江苏省南通启东的一家玩具制造公司，作为全国三家参与了冬奥会吉祥物设计制造的企业之一，正在抓紧加单赶制，满足市场需求。In the production workshop, the semifinished Bing Dwen Dwens pile upon the processing tabletop. Workers put on a transparent "coat", install it on a fixed base, and wrap it in a special packaging box. A cute Bing Dwen Dwen is then transported to the designated store.在生产车间，“墩”量十足的“冰墩墩”半成品铺满了加工桌面。工人们会给“冰墩墩”套上透明“外衣”，安上固定底座，装入特制包装盒。这样，一只只可爱的“冰墩墩”就可以整装待发，被运往指定专卖店了。A worker, surnamed Shen, who has been with the company for more than 10 years, is responsible for installing the base for Bing Dwen Dwen. In order to ensure that the doll does not fall, and looks elfish, she must test it. Shen, with a smile on her face, says packaging Bing Dwen Dwen is comforting. In fact, the seemingly simple packaging process shows the workers' devotion to delivering happiness.已经在公司工作十多年的沈阿姨，负责给“冰墩墩”安底座。为了保证“冰墩墩”立着不倒，更有冰雪精灵的范儿，每一只“冰墩墩”她都要验一下。沈阿姨笑着表示，包装“冰墩墩”也是一件幸福的事。事实上，看似简单的包装过程却处处显示着工人们对传递幸福的坚守。"After all, we treat it with lots of care, just like our own children," says Wang Danfeng, technical director of the company's development department. She is excited about the mascot's overnight fame. Wang and her team have their own best practices and insider secrets to make it pop out of the design phase and become a lively plush toy. They have done extensive research and design on the size of the eyes, the color or the detailed expressions, the selection of fabrics, the curvature of the overall shape and the proportion of visual comfort. 王丹凤是这家公司开发部的技术主管，她表示：“毕竟是我们辛苦做出来的，就像自己的孩子一样。”突然火起来的“冰墩墩”也让她十分激动。如何让“冰墩墩”从平面图纸上“蹦”出来，成为活灵活现的毛绒玩具，是王丹凤以及团队的“绝活儿”。无论眼睛大小、颜色还是细节表情，再到面料的选用、整体造型的弧度、视觉舒适的比例，王丹凤以及团队都做了精益求精的研发。"Cutting, sewing, embroidering, stuffing cotton, binding... each plush part of the doll is purely handmade. The eyes are crystal and watery, because cardboard paper is added; the nose is translucent with the use of a light coating," Wang says.王丹凤表示：“裁剪、缝纫、绣花、塞棉花、装订......每一只‘冰墩墩'毛绒部分均是纯手工制作的。水晶眼闪闪发亮，是因为加入了卡纸。鼻子透亮，是因为采用了亚光材质。”Making Bing Dwen Dwen is more complicated than ordinary plush toys. It's the first time for the team to make a stuffed toy with a shell. Speaking of the toy's transparent “coat”, Wang says, after more than two months of repeated revisions from proofing to finalization, it was approved by the Organizing Committee of the Winter Olympics.“冰墩墩”要比普通毛绒玩具更复杂。这是王丹凤团队第一次做带壳的毛绒玩具。提及“冰墩墩”的透明“外衣”，王丹凤透露，从打样到定型，经过两个多月反复修改，才最终得到冬奥会组委会的认可。The company's display racks also pack mascot dolls from the many important competitions held in China, such as Fuwa from the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the mascot of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo Hai Bao, Nanjing Youth Olympic Games mascot Nanjinglele among others. 该公司的陈列架上还摆放着多个中国举办的重要赛会的吉祥物玩偶，如北京2008年奥运会吉祥物“福娃”、2010年上海世博会吉祥物“海宝”、南京青奥会吉祥物“砳砳”等等。The person in charge of the company says that many years of experience in manufacturing plush toys have won them a solid reputation in the industry. The company is responsible for its own profit and loss. Not every mascot can become popular like Bing Dwen Dwen, but they are willing to contribute to every big sports event that makes the public proud.公司负责人介绍，多年制造毛绒玩具的经验为他们赢得了业界的良好口碑。公司自负盈亏。并非每款吉祥物都能像“冰墩墩”那样火，但他们愿意为人民感到自豪的大型体育赛事出一份力。On the afternoon of Feb 8, the first batch of 200 Bing Dwen Dwens were shipped. They have received new orders for 7,000 Bing Dwen Dwens and 20,000 Shuey Rhon Rhons. Employees have been organized to hasten delivery to meet the needs of consumers. About 2,000 Bing Dwen Dwens are expected to be produced each day.2月8日下午，节后首批200只“冰墩墩”即将发货。公司已接到了7000只“冰墩墩”和20000只“雪容融”的新订单。为尽可能满足消费者的需求，公司已经安排员工抓紧赶制。预计每天的产量能达到大约2000只“冰墩墩”。In Dehua, Fujian, a ceramics company is also ramping up production to ensure the supply. Their ceramic Bing Dwen Dwens are handmade by local artisans.福建省德化县的一家陶瓷企业也在加紧赶制以确保供应。他们的陶瓷版“冰墩墩”是由当地工匠手工制作的。On the afternoon of Feb 8, the first batch of 200 Bing Dwen Dwens were shipped.

On this week's show we review the top stories from the Beijing Olympic Games beginning with skiing. Lara Gut Behrami added Super G Olympic Champion to her Giant Slalom Bronze Medal in Beijing and the World Champion titles she won in Super G and Giant Slalom in Cortina last year. Austria's Mirjam Puchner divided the Swiss charge by beating Michelle Gisen into the silver medal position. Switzerland made it two in a row when reigning World Downhill Champion Corinne Suter, who was also the World Super G silver medallist behind Lara in 2021, defeated the reigning Olympic Champion Italy's Sofia Goggia by 16 hundredths of a second to take the downhill crown. Sofia's return following a nasty fall in Cortina just over three weeks ago was a remarkable effort and she clearly thought it would be enough to retain her title. Sofia and Corinne are currently one-two in the World Cup Downhill rankings. Italy's Nadia Delgado achieved her first ever podium result with the bronze medal. So we now have two Swiss skiers concurrently holding Olympic and World titles in Downhill and Super G. So far the Swiss have 5 medals in alpine skiing going into the Combined (17th) and Mixed Parallel (19th) events.The women's monobob made its highly anticipated debut with US teammates and rivals Kaillie Humphries and Elana Meyers Taylor the clear medal favorites. In the end it was Kaillie, the newly minted American, who clinched the crown. Kaillie won gold at the two-woman events at the 2010 Vancouver Games and the 2014 Sochi Games. Elana is now the U.S. bobsledder with the most Olympic medals with this silver medal finish. Both women have medaled in every Olympic event they've competed in, sharing the podium in the last four Olympic Winter Games. Canada's Christine de Bruin claimed the bronze to make it a North American sweep. But Germany will prove the biggest challenge in the two-man bobsleigh that takes place on the 18/19th having dominated this World Cup season.We also have an update on the 15 year old Russian skater Kamila Valieva who tested positive to a doping violation in December and was later cleared to compete in Beijing. Snowboarder Chloe Kim makes history at the Games. Plus another record is matched in tennis by Estonian Anett Kontaveit, Emma Gilmour becomes McClaren's first female driver, and the Women's Sports Foundation has a new executive director in Danette Leighton.Hosts: Chris Stafford & Nancy GillenRecorded: February 15, 2022For more information, links and resources and hundreds more conversations from the world of women's sport including articles, blogs, videos and podcasts visit wispsports.com.

On this week's episode, Chris & Nancy take a look at the first week of competition from the Beijing Olympic Games. Skating got underway and the skateboarding with some firsts for women. The Giant Slalom saw some major spills and thrills with the flying Swede Sara Hector underlining her tremendous form this season when she became the Olympic Champion in that discipline. Ester Ledecka made history at the PyeongChang Games when she topped the podium in snowboard and skiing and she is already halfway to repeating that feat by claiming gold this week in snowboarding. In other news Wimbledon is taking another step to equality by fixing ticket prices for women in line with the men. Australia's Cricket Team convincingly defeated England in the Ashes Series. And in football 19 year old Trinity Rodman marked a milestone by signing the highest NWSL contract worth $1.1 million and she has also been called up to replace the injured Abby Dahlkemper for the USWNT She Believes Cup Roster.Hosts: Chris Stafford & Nancy GillenRecorded: February 8, 2022For more information, links and resources and hundreds more conversations from the world of women's sport including articles, blogs, videos and podcasts visit wispsports.com.

Kicking off the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games with a look into the women's skiathlon. Co-host Nat Herz was on site during the race, braving the wind and cold to collect deeper insights into the scene, while Kershaw gives his hot take as a very-well-informed armchair quarterback. Note that Kershaw picked two of the top-three athletes correctly in his pre-Olympic podium picks: unsurprisingly, the favorite, Therese Johaug took gold, while Natalia Nepryaeva (ROC) earned silver instead of the bronze Kersh predicted. Stay tuned for regular updates and race breakdowns over the course of the Games! Thanks for listening.

This week's news includes a round up of World Cup skiing, top stories in international football, tennis from the Australian Open, plus netball, motor racing and the Beijing Olympic Games.

Finishing their last tournament in Dubai in seventh place, the USA women are showing constant evolution on the world stage, now ranked fourth overall with two events to go. Undefeated in every game contested, defeating rivals Canada, Poland, Great Britain, France and Russia for their first gold medal since the Glendale Sevens in 2019. This was the third tournament in the 2021-22 HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series. Next stop Seville for the next tournament this coming weekend.Hosts: Chris Stafford & Nancy GillenRecorded: January 25, 2022For more information, links and resources and hundreds more conversations from the world of women's sport including articles, blogs, videos and podcasts visit wispsports.com.

“I try to preserve the Chinese music flavor. So, you imagine in Chinese band, the country music that people usually reserve for weddings or for big moments or for funerals. That kind of a feeling. Drums and music playing. I try to preserve it from my memory because what we have now is just a tune. You can probably recognize the tune, but the execution of translating that for a Western orchestra and make it sound like it's a Chinese band playing Chinese instruments.”Bright Sheng is a composer, conductor, and pianist.

Hamish & Andy remember broadcasting from the Beijing Olympic Games, especially the Channel Seven team worrying about getting food poisoning. The boys also recall when Daryl Braithwaite sung a charity song to help them raise funds to buy a hoverboard. We also listen back to when they took Frank Stallone on a parade thought the streets of Melbourne just hours before the concert of the year.

Our guest for this episode, Andrew Dabeka, was a 6-time Canadian Champion and was ranked number 20 in world in Men's Singles around the time of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. In this episode, he talks about high performance badminton - how to get there, how to stay there and how to maintain at the top.

We all take translation and translators for granted these days. There are now apps on your phone that can translate inputted text, can magically convert text within photos, and can even simultaneously translate audio as you're speaking. But once you listen to Gigi Chang talk about the philosophy behind her work translating literary texts, you'll know that there can be no substitute to the human touch. If you've worked in any kind of international arena, you will have had some experience in having work translated, be it for marketing slogans, short texts, or longer pieces. So I hope that listening to this episode will give you a broader appreciation of the process behind it.Gigi Chang's object: A clipboard.
