The Beijing Winter Olympics have so far been successful in containing coronavirus within the closed-loop system, as just over 400 people tested positive as the Games draw to a close over the weekend. Such an outstanding result has won praise from IOC officials, who congratulated China on its efforts to organize such a safe event, and blunted previous foreign media reports that said welcoming the country s biggest influx of overseas arrivals could challenge China s COVID-19 prevention measures.
Beijing 2022 is well on track to host the Olympic Winter Games, which will begin with the Opening Ceremony on 4 February. All competition venues are complete, and a series of test events were held from October to December 2021 to test them further. Beijing 2022 is also making maximum use of existing venues, including venues used at Olympic Games Beijing 2008. Even before the Games have begun, Beijing 2022 has already made great progress in delivering their legacy. With record numbers of Chinese people engaging in winter sport during the past winter season, Beijing 2022 is well on its way to getting 300 million people in China engaged in winter sport.
