Yearender: Beijing 2022 wades through challenges in pandemic-disrupted year (Xinhua) 13:28, December 24, 2020 BEIJING, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) If we should choose key words for the year 2020 which is finally coming to an end, COVID-19 is definitely one of them. The coronavirus pandemic decimated the international sporting calendar and forced a historic first postponement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, as well as bringing challenges and difficulties to preparations for the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. Adjusting accordingly with flexible and innovative measures, the Beijing 2022 Organizing Committee (BOCOG), in a joint effort with the International Olympic Committee (IOC), International Paralympic Committee (IPC), International Winter Sports Federations (IFs) and other stakeholders, managed to keep preparations well on track towards honoring its promise five years ago when the city was awarded the Games.

As global travel restrictions are largely likely to remain for the coming months, Beijing 2022 organizers have decided to cancel a series of test events that had been planned for the first quarter of next year.
