Beijing establishes 鈥榮now affairs work team鈥 for 2022 Winter Games
Print Edition
Beijing, host of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, has a snow problem: Hardly any of the white stuff falls on the Chinese capital despite freezing temperatures.
Taking the matter in hand, the games organizing committee has set up a 鈥渟now affairs work team鈥 and invited experts from Finland, Canada and other nations to help out, according to the official 鈥2017 Beijing Fact File鈥 drafted by the city government.
The work team would 鈥渆xpedite research on key technologies for making and preserving snow, and start to formulate a work plan to ensure suitable snow resources鈥, the publication said.
Also yesterday, Beijing Vice Mayor Zhang Jiandong said all venues and transport links for the games would be completed by the end of 2019, allowing Beijing to begin staging test events the next year. 鈥淧rogress on all these projects has been moving ahead smoothly,鈥 Zhang said.
Beijing was awarded the games in 2015, defeating Almaty, Kazakhstan, in the voting to become the first city to have been awarded both the Summer and Winter Olympics.
Beijing鈥檚 urban center will host indoor events such as ice hockey and figure skating, largely at venues left over from the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.
