Though the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics ended on Feb 20, it has left a deep impression on people across the globe. At Beijing 2022, a total of 2,877 athletes from 91 countries and regions competed for 109 gold medals. More than 45 percent of those athletes were women, an all-time high in the history of the Winter Olympics. “Athletes competed courageously to exceed limits, setting a number of new world records and Olympic records. This is a vivid representation of the Olympic motto: Faster, Higher, Stronger – Together,” said Cai Qi, president of the Beijing organizing committee. Besides the competitions, the unique charm of Beijing, the first city to host both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, and the thoughtful services that the city provided to all participants were also valued. As the first global multi-sport event held as scheduled during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Beijing Winter Games prioritized the health and safety of all participants. The organizers worked out and oversaw the implementation of the Beijing 2022 Playbooks and put in place a closed-loop management system. “Our COVID-19 policy has been effective, setting a successful precedent for other major international events held during the pandemic,” Cai said. Themed “Together for a shared future”, the Beijing Games have also left the city with rich legacies, including engaging 346 million people in ice and snow sports as well as hosting the Games in a more sustainable way. ![]() (Translator & Editor: Li Xinzhu AND Luo Sitian)
