China clearly sought to outdo the ecological cardboard mattresses used in the Tokyo Olympics
As competitors arrive in China for the Winter Olympics, one hot issue is on everyone's mind: how will the beds be this time? The short answer is that there is no cardboard in sight.
Summer Britcher, a luger from the United States, offered the internet a first glance at the beds in Beijing in a recent TikTok video. Beds at the Games became an odd spectacle last summer at the Tokyo Olympics, when participants were given simple beds built of recycled cardboard frames in order to convey a message of sustainability. The mattresses went viral when some joked that they were anti-sex beds, which was eventually refuted, paving the way for future inspection of Olympic lodgings.
Beds in Beijing show little similarity to those in Tokyo, in true Chinese tradition. These beds are far from humble; they are larger and more streamlined.
"Not only do we not have cardboard beds here, but it's as if the Beijing Organizing Committee asked, 'How can we possibly outdo Tokyo?'" '" Britcher remarked in her video, which has over 342,000 views as of Monday. "And this is what they chose."
The athlete demonstrated that the beds can be modified remotely and feature a zero g mode, a word I had never heard used to describe a bed before. According to the video's comments, it stands for "zero gravity mode," a setting on adjustable beds that relieves strain on muscles and joints while also allowing the body to fully rest.
"I'm in in zero G mode now, It's phenomenal," Britcher added.
Wow. My back is genuinely envious.
Olympic athletes aren't the only ones who benefit from specialized beds. According to Reuters, journalists were also granted access to Sleep Rest Cabins, which are exactly what their name implies: places where they may take power naps of up to an hour. The beds in the cabins are the same as those used by athletes at the Athletes' Village, and they may be modified using a remote control or a phone.
The Beijing Games will feature over 2,900 participants competing in 109 events. Tensions are high, owing to both the epidemic and the diplomatic boycott of the event, which was spearheaded by the United States and has subsequently been joined by other countries. The boycott is in response to China's atrocities against Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang region, as well as other human rights violations in the nation.
