When Beijing’s winter thawed this year, a standout Olympic venue got a fresh urban makeover 🌞➡️🛠️. Shougang Big Air – one of the Winter Olympics hotspots – now doubles as a high-octane playground for city adventurers.
Cyclists attack steel ramps, skateboarders grind metal beams, and rappellers like CGTN’s Ioana suit up, stare over the edge, and trust the ropes 🧗♀️. But beyond the thrill, the real challenge? Knowing when it’s smarter to hit pause.
Perched at that vertigo-inducing rim, Ioana’s pulse spiked. In that split second, she realized adrenaline isn’t just about pushing limits – it’s about tuning into the inner voice that says "maybe today’s not the day." Sometimes, stepping back is the bravest move of all.
Whether you’re chasing extreme sports thrills or a story of raw courage, Shougang Big Air is rewriting the rules of urban adventure in 2025. Think you’ve got what it takes to face your own edge? 🌆✨
