The 2022 Winter Olympics, officially the XXIV Olympic Winter Games and commonly known as Beijing 2022 are an upcoming international winter multi-sport event scheduled to take place from 4 to 20 February 2022 in Beijing and venues near neighboring towns of Yanqing and Chongli in the People’s Republic of China.
Beijing was elected as host city in July 2015 at the 128th IOC Session in Kuala Lumpur. The 2022 Winter Olympics will be the first Winter Olympics in China, the last of three consecutive Olympics to be held in East Asia (after the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan), and the second overall Olympics to be held in China, after the 2008 Summer Olympics also in Beijing. For the first time, the Winter Olympics will be hosted by a city that previously hosted the Summer Olympics; Four existing indoor venues that were originally constructed for the 2008 Games, as well as the Beijing National Stadium (venues of the opening and closing ceremonies), will be used.
The 2022 Winter Olympics are scheduled to include a record 109 events over 15 disciplines in seven sports. This represented an increase of seven events from 2018. The men’s and women’s big air freestyle, women’s monobob, mixed team competitions in freestyle skiing aerials, ski jumping, and snowboard cross, and the mixed relay in short track speed skating were the new events added by the International Olympic Committee in July 2018.
Beijing, the city of double Olympics, has witnessed the development of China, and it also represents the traditions of the East. Let’s look forward to what kind of splendor this Winter Olympics will bring or the new trend that will lead the development of the world. The Chinese culture is broad and profound, and will shape the spirit of solidarity of a community with a shared future for mankind together with the Olympic spirit. It is expected that the Beijing Olympics will bring about world peace and development and share a beautiful vision for the future.
