The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics has already come to an end, and Chinese athletes ( 运动员 ) have made great achievements. But how will the stadiums ( 场馆 ) be used after the Olympics?

The designers have already considered that question in their designs ( 设计 ). The plan is to let the stadiums serve common people and increase their interest in winter sports. Just as one of the designers of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics said, “The stadiums can not only serve professional athletes in the games, but also serve the public after the games. ”

For example, the professional ice race lanes ( 车道 ) for athletes are 121 meters high and are not fit for amateurs . So the National Ski and Sleigh Center has kept a special lane for common sport-lovers. The height of the lane is about 40 meters. This can make sure they will stay safe.

The National Ski Jumping Center in Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province will continue being open to the public for skiing in winter and jogging in summer. In fact, people can make use of the stadiums all year round. On the top of the center, people can walk and enjoy the beautiful scenery. There is also a standard football field that can hold 6,000 people. Even concerts and cultural fairs can be held there as well.

Time will tell whether the stadiums can be really made good use of after, the Olympic Games. In China, 300 million people have already taken part in ice and snow sports because of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Hopefully, that number will continue to rise with plans like these.

As I walked home worriedly, I saw a shop sign: All Kinds of Repairs and Services! I went inside at once. I looked around the shop and saw broken toys, broken chairs … I wondered if I was in the wrong place. Just at that moment, a man with white hair came up to me and said cheerfully, “ Welcome! This is a repair shop and I can repair everything!”

“But...what I need is a tailor to deal with my football shirt.”

“You’ve come to the right place. I’ve been waiting a long, long time to repair a football shirt. ”

“Really?” I held the shirt in my hands.

To my surprise, he took the shirt from me, put on glasses and sat down on the sofa with my shirt in his hands. “I guess you are a striker ( 前锋 ),” he smiled warmly. How could he know? The man gave me a wink and said calmly, “See that picture on the wall? That was me 30 years ago.”

I couldn’t believe my eyes! He was Orhan, the famous footballer who was on the city team years ago! I told him I was playing for the school team and I had been his fan for years. I told him everything, my dream, my practice and even my dad’s words. “Dad thinks I should be an engineer or a doctor.” I lowered my head.

“Follow your dream, choose a job you love and carry on.” The man smiled at me with his blue eyes. He patted ( 轻拍 ) me on the shoulder and put the shirt he had repaired in my bag.

Today I have become a footballer and I still keep that shirt in my closet.
