Beijing Olympics 2022 athlete beds flaunt their high-tech features ahead of the Winter Olympic Games on Feb. 4, such as their remote controls, as well as a zero-gravity mode.
BEIJING, CHINA - JANUARY 15: Workers set up a 17meter-high flower bed with the theme of "Wonderful Winter Olympics" at Tiananmen square on January 15, 2022 in Beijing, China. The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics are set to open February 4th.
The Winter Olympics that China is hosting outshines the athlete beds of Japan during the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics last year, which uses a sustainable cardboard material.
Beijing Olympics 2022 Athlete Beds
As per a news story by Gizmodo, the United States Winter Olympics athlete, Summer Britcher, showcased the athlete beds in Beijing in her now-viral TikTok video.
Interestingly, the beds in the upcoming Beijing Olympics are far from the modest beds from last year's Games.
China decided to make the athlete beds bigger than its predecessor. Not to mention that it even addded smart features to complete the experience.
The American athlete said in her TikTok clip that there are no "cardboard beds" in the Winter Olympics.
She went on to note that the sleek and massive beds seem to send a message from the Beijing Organizing Committee, saying that "how can we absolutely just one up Tokyo?"
Britcher concludes that the high-tech beds are "what they went with."
Beijing Athlete Beds Zero Gravity Mode
As mentioned, the athlete beds in Beijing come with a remote control to activate their smart features, such as a "Zero G Mode."
The TikTok clip failed to determine what the "G" actually stands for with Britcher only called it as "zero g mode." However, a TikToker suggested in the comments section that the "G" actually means "zero gravity."
Gizmodo noted that the "G" mode allows athletes to reduce the pressure on their joints and muscles to give them a relaxing sensation altogether.
Britcher further dubbed her experience of the zero-gravity mode as "phenomenal."
The remote control of the athlete beds also gives its users other reclining options, allowing them to raise either the upper or lower part of the bed. On top of that, they could also lower both sides down, depending on their preferences or needs.

Tokyo Olympic Beds
On the other hand, according to a report by Insider, the beds during the Tokyo Olympics are in stark contrast with its current Chinese counterpart.
In fact, US Olympic skateboarder, Nyjah Huston, previously described the Tokyo beds as both "uncomfortable" and "hard."
TOKYO, JAPAN - MARCH 19: A Tokyo 2020 Olympics banner is displayed on a building, on March 19, 2020 in Tokyo, Japan. As Japanese and IOC officials continued to insist that the Games would go ahead as planned, Japans Deputy Prime Minister said on Wednesday that the Tokyo Olympics are cursed, as speculation grows that the Olympics will have to be postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
This time around, though, the cardboard beds are out, and China even opted to make it smarter.
