The Organizing Committee finished its first worldwide recruitment for talents in June. A total of 30 staff members were recruited for 21 positions. Positions in this recruitment involve majors in planning and construction, venue management, marketing, media, finance, law and foreign languages.

The organizers also have very good contacts with international winter sports federations as it's important to get the best expertise and specialist from all over the world.

Beijing and Zhangjiakou also held some worldwide winter sports events such as the World Women's Curling Championships and the Snowboard World Cup.

The president of World Curling Federation (WCF) Kate Caithness praised the Chinese organizers did "first-class job" in hosting the World Women's Curling Championships 2017.

Caithness had visited the "Water Cube". She spoke highly of the transformation from "Water Cube" to "Curling Cube" .

"We all speak of the legacy of Olympics and Paralympics and this is a great legacy. It's an iconic building in Beijing and they have used it for so many events. To be able to use the same building and transform into winter sports must be one of the first time in history. From swimming pool to a curling rink is very exciting," Caithness said.
