Two giant washing machines are used to serve 7,000 people during the 2022 Winter Olympics in China.

Video filmed in the city of Beijing on February 1 shows two 2-metre-wide and 3-tonne washing machines being used to clean clothes at Beijing National Indoor Stadium.

According to reports, the capacity of the "Big Mac" washing machine is 100 kilograms which is equal to ten household washing machines.

The two washing machines and three 1-tonne dryers will be used to serve nearly 7,000 people at the ice hockey events during the Winter Olympics.

The washing machine can hold 100 jackets in one go. It also has an automatic cleaning function which can ensure that no bacteria will be bred on the clothes.

Ma Lingnan, head of the laundry service at the national stadium said, the volunteers will tie the ice hockey athletes' clothes into bundles and send them to the laundry room after each match or training.

The service is only available at Beijing National Indoor Stadium and Wukesong Arena, where ice hockey matches are held.

北京冬奥会开赛在即，国家体育馆引进两台3吨重的“巨无霸”洗衣机，三台一吨重的烘干机，届时将为冬奥冰球赛事近7000人次提供服务。据了解，这台洗衣机滚筒可容纳100公斤的洗涤量，相当于十台家用洗衣机的容量，可放100件羽绒服。滚筒还具有自动清洁功能，很难藏污纳垢，保证衣物不会有细菌滋生。
2月1日，记者来到位于国家体育馆东侧环廊一层的洗衣房，看到2台高2.2米、宽2米的洗衣机并排放在一起，另一边则放置着3台烘干机。烘干机与屋顶排风管道接通，机器轰鸣高速运转，正烘干着衣物。国家体育馆场馆洗衣服务负责人马凌楠介绍，届时每场冰球比赛及每次训练之后，运动员进入更衣室淋浴，将运动服脱下来，由场馆志愿者将这些衣物逐个用绳子打结，打成捆，送到洗衣房进行现场洗涤。冰球运动是冬奥项目中争夺最激烈的运动，通常一场比赛下来，运动员就会大汗淋漓、浑身湿透。这就需要及时更衣，对洗衣服务有极大的需求。所以在北京冬奥12个竞赛场馆中，只有举办冰球比赛的国家体育馆和五棵松体育馆才提供这项服务。（视频由北京台提供）
