Meals served up robotically at Beijing Olympics

Journalists arriving early for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing have been among the many first to have their meals served as much as them remotely.

Whereas noodles are a reasonably standard dish in China, ‘noodles from the ceiling’ aren’t, however that’s the way in which lunch is dished up within the canteen within the Major Press Centre.

The supply system was proving a novelty on Tuesday (January 11), with even burgers being ready electronically.

The Winter Olympics can have stricter covid protocols for visiting media, athletes and officers than Tokyo, with everybody confined to a bubble which they can’t depart, and no interplay between these inside it, and people outdoors it.

Solely those that endure a three-week quarantine upon arrival can work outdoors the bubble, though they can’t come again into it.

Nonetheless not like Tokyo, home spectators can be allowed to attend occasions.

Beijing 2022 will get underway on February 4.
