Hello from Hong Kong. We are always happy to know that guests enjoy staying in our home. I heard from a friend in the Mainland that his cousin had been in the village for almost a year as a volunteer. To avoid being infected and quarantined, she won't leave the closed-loop until all finish. Those volunteers are really great people.

[@Youkai_graphics]

I love it, I love that you are actually showing whats in the olympic village. Western Media never report anything good about China's Winter Olympic

[@RoughNeck777]

Hi Viktor, thanks for sharing your Olympics experience in China. As an American, I'm sick of our mainstream media talking sh*t and bashing China constantly. Good luck and win some medals!

[@allenzhang1496]

If European and American media report negative news, it means that China must have done a very good and very successful event, and everything should be viewed in reverse. 🤫🤫🤫🤭🤭🤭

[@Cinderella-Cindererilla]

Western media never care about what the real China is, but just want to tell the Western audience that "China is 100% shit". Anyway, it seems that most Chinese people enjoy their good life in China now!

[@tabletennis1686]

There’s a reason why the US government officials want Olympic athletes not to bring their phones with them. No phone = no social media platform to show the truth; the opposite of the lies that the western media is telling.

i went to china for 7 months in 2017 and it is the best memory of my life

[@teaherb2023]

As a Chinese here, I agree with u

[@ZoeCuiM]

I saw some vlog from the volunteer's POV. They are mostly students from top tier universities or graduate school. Their jobs are tendinous, like cleaning, long hour standing outside guiding crowds. By dinner time many get very tired and hungry. But they all keep the spirit high. What's great bunch of young people.

[@positiveenergy3865]

The world becomes beautiful again when ordinary people interact with each other and help each other out. Thanks for sharing your experience, wish you the best for your competition! ☺️

Absolutely!

[@jesslam8702]

Really love to hear : 1. The sports bring athletes from different countries together. That's real spirit of olympics. 2. Lovely and friendly volunteers who try hard to give back to the world! The snowman are so cute! Hope humans all understand that we should make friends rather than make enemies.

Your version is so different from all the news tv media, portraying the Beijing Olympics is horrible and the worst ever. But I believe you Viktor because I can see n feel the joy you are experiencing there first hand. LOVE + RESPECT Viktor👍 Just subscribed to your channel. When is your next game?

[@jenniferli7295]

There's never been so much negative coverage of an Olympics, every single US media article is whining, fear mongering, complaining about something, painting everything in the worst possible light lol. The copium is thick. America and its minions take gold in lying about China...

[@AConnorDN38416]

@@jenniferli7295 yeah, the US and its allies have been doing a lot of fear mongering about China in recent years because China has become a serious challenger to the US domination of the global economy. The anti China fervor has been growing more and more over the years and that is really being reflected in all the media coverage I have seen of the Winter Olympics

[@Angelonearth168]

Thank you for sharing your experience and videos in the Olympic village. It looked like you were having a vacation there. 😆😆😆

Aaron Blunck had his twitter account suspended for speaking the truth about the winter Olympics and he's now using IG more.

[@florencef4033]

Thanks a lot for telling people the stories in the olympic village which we can't get from the media. The volunteers are sacrificing a lot to serve this big game and all the atheletes, they can't meet their families and friends when in the bubble, after the olympic game they still need another 21days quarantine before they can get home. Thank you for your kindness, thank the volunteers for their hard works.❤️❤️

[@Jeffysz199]

WOW! I would have never known had i kept listening to US media (propaganda) bashing of China and the Olympics...thanks for your "on the ground" update!

[@jaydendean6939]

People who have been to China always has an incredible experience and memories. Those who never been and get their information from Bash News will have their own negative perspective. I am greatful for people like you and others who can experience the real China and see the beauty that people will never see. Thank you👍

[@4xTouring]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Another few facts not known by many is this Olympic produces only 1/3 the carbon emissions compared to Olympics of the past. Renewable energy is being used mostly. Most buses in the bubble are hydrogen powered.

[@qingfeng6460]

Wow, so it is true that participating this winter Olympics makes you feel like having great holidays at COVID times! Too bad, I'm not good at any winter sport or any sport 😅 Thanks for sharing 👍

[@tdepp1178]

Viktor, you are a champion, a great sportsman. Competitive yet willing to share wonderful moments of the game with others. And speaking the truth and show appreciation to the host that treats you well. For that, you already gain a gold medal.

[@dannytwitch3276]

Hello from the United States 🇺🇸! Thank you so much for sharing this video! Being there at the Winter Olympics seems so cool! If you have the time would you be able to make a video about the underground mall and especially the food court? Thank you again, good luck and have the fun ⛸🙏

[@ekk1237]

As one of the staff of the Beijing Winter Olympics, I really happy that the athletes can enjoy the journey in Beijing. Hope to see you in China again ☺️

[@fishiestify]

Aaron Blunck has his twitter account suspended after he praised China did a great job on Beijing winter olympic. There is no western media report his interview and his account being suspended. So you better be careful not to talk too many good things about this winter olympic, those haters don't like it. They might go for you if you talk too many good things about China. Also a lot of western vloggers who have been living in China for some times and do a lot of vlogs about good things in China. A lot of them get attacked by the western medias saying that they're the traitor and were paid by the Chinese government.

His last tweet was on July 2, 2021 so not sure if twitter removed his latest tweets because supposedly he asked twitter why he was banned but I didn't see any screenshots of that. However, during the time of suspension I could not google his twitter account at all. After it got restored, the results started showing up.

[@abeiz378]

Most of the volunteers are college students in Beijing, and you can’t imagine how many students applied. For us it’s a huge honor to engage in such a wonderful event and meet the friends of different countries

[@paulineow9972]

Viktor, thank you for sharing your enjoyable experience at the Beijing Winter Olympics. You're so kind to show your appreciation to both the volunteers & organising teams. Like your presentation. Regards from Overseas Chinese.

[@joestki]

Volunteers at the Olympics are the ambassadors with a single mission - to make the visitors have a memorable stay in this country. The athletes who medal or performed their personal best will of course be happy but that is only probably 10%. The objective of the volunteers is to make even the remaining 90% happy and bring back good memories of their stay in Beijing to tell their children and grand children. This is my take away having been a volunteer in the Olympic and Paralympic.

[@multipolarworldtoday]

YOUR VLOGS HAVE BEEN INFORMATIVE, FAIR, UPLIFTING, AND TRULY CAPTURES THE MEANING OF THE OLYMPICS. FURTHER, YOUR VERACITY AND SINCERITY IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE NARRATIVE PUSHED BY THE MAJOR MEDIA OUTLETS. MUCH APPRECIATED. WASHINGTON DC

[@jadebell2889]

Thank you Viktor for showing us the side of the Winter games the other medias don't talk about. Pretty cool that the athletes are able to relax in a COVID free environment and have some fun & entertainment. All the best to you at the competition. I am really enjoying your vlog.
