The 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing will kick start in less than 200 days! That means the city is kicking into high gear to prep for the games. Here's what's been happening.
The Water Cube completes its transformation into the Ice Cube
The completion of all eight venues has arrived faster than you'd think! As of now, Beijing already has all the major venues geared up for the upcoming Winter Olympics.
Some of the highlights of these successful completions include the National Speed Skating Oval – a platform that will be used for freestyle skiing and curling, the Wukesong Ice Sports Center – the camp for all that ice hockey action and the National Alpine Skiing Center – a newly-built hotspot in Yanqing for all that bob sled races.
Keep an eye on the autumn
Don’t leave November behind as there will be more test events coming, including snowboarding and freestyle skiing.
What’s coming for the 100-day countdown?
