Korea is just weeks away... from hosting is first Olympic Games in three decades.
The organizing committee and others involved... are putting the final touches to be fully
prepared to play host to the global games.
Transport to the venues is ready... and upgrades to facilities are made to ensure athletes
and spectators are comfy and shielded from the cold.
Lee Ji-won reports.
With only 50 days left to go until the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics,.. Korea is putting
on its final touches... on 6-and-a-half years worth of preparations.
On Thursday, a ceremony was held to mark the launch... of the Gyeonggang high-speed KTX
rail line.
Extending the previous route to the eastern city of Gangneung,... the new line takes visitors
from Seoul... directly to the host cities of the 2018 Olympics in a much shorter time.
It normally took 3 to 6 hours,... depending on the mode of transportation, to get to Gangneung
from Seoul,... but the new line cuts the travel time to slightly under 2 hours.
(Korean) "The existing line went around the region
to get to Gangneung, but the new line goes right through the Taebaek Mountain Range."
And during the Olympic season, more trains will be running,.. not to mention the temporary
operation of trains from Incheon International Aiport straight to Pyeongchang and Gangneung.
The train will be officially opened to the public starting Friday.
Venues are also getting their final touches.
Jeongseon Alpine Centre, where one of the first Olympic events will be held, has completed
all of its construction and tests,... and now at the final stages of setting up the
fences, piling artificial snow and grooming the surface by January.
Now, while the construction of the Olympic Stadium, where the opening and closing ceremonies
will be held, was completed months ago,... the organizing committee is making improvements
in the facilities.
At a concert held at the stadium last month,.. a number of spectators suffered from hypothermia.
As fighting the cold has been one of the major concerns at next year's opening ceremony,...
the organizing committee will install heaters at corners and windshield.
(Korean- ) "We will build a transparent wall around the
inside of the stadium to block the wind from coming in without hindering the spectators'
view."
The committee also plans to distribute blankets, hot packs and other winter wears to keep the
spectators warm.
With the hardware for the Winter Games finalizing, the organizing committee is now focused on
boosting promotion and ticket sales... to get one step closer to successfully hosting
the country's first Olympics in 30 years.
