BEJING 20 JANUARY 2022 (VOE WORLD)  WORLD SPORT- Yiannis Exarchos, CEO of the Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS), said the initial function for the approaching 2022 Winter Olympic Games will be similarly just about as noteworthy as its famous summer partner in 2008.

"Clearly, I won't express the thing is in the initial service since I would rather not ruin the experience for any of you," Exarchos said in an internet based specialized instructions held by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Wednesday.

In 2008, the Chinese capital, Beijing, facilitated the Summer Olympics and introduced one of the best opening services to the world. Zhang Yimou was the overseer of that service, and he was named to do likewise for the Beijing 2022 opening function.

"Working with Zhang back in 2008 was a feature in my own and expert life, and this is a second feature that I never expected to have," Exarchos said. "He is a chief with such a visual vision. It is a delight for us telecasters and TV makers to be working with him since he sees so well what will function admirably outwardly for global

crowds."

Before 2008, when non-Chinese considered customary Chinese culture, the main thing that may have struck a chord was maybe mythical serpents, kung fu, or the Great Wall. Those pictures, while not off-base, were not extremely innovative by the same token. The initial function coordinated by Zhang changed many individuals' cliché perspective; he stuffed the quintessence of Chinese culture as present day workmanship and astonished the entire world.

"It's an amazing privilege to coordinate the initial function for the subsequent time," Zhang told Xinhua News Agency. "I desire to establish a decent connection and make a few awesome minutes that will stand out forever."

Exarchos got a sneak look at what will show up at the initial function for the Winter Olympics. "Everything I can say to you is it is a service which is likely similarly noteworthy as the one out of 2008 which, we know is perhaps the most famous opening functions throughout the entire existence of the Olympic Game," he said. "It's similarly noteworthy, similarly moving yet totally unique and it mirrors our times."

The Winter Games will start on February 4.
