With the postponed Summer Olympics set to open in Tokyo next week, Beijing has made moves to show its preparations for the Winter Games are well on track for February despite the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizers have not announced what rules will be in place for athletes, officials and coaches at the 2022 Winter Olympics, or if fans will be allowed. "We built good venues in any case and then we wait and expect a good result." The Chinese capital hosted the 2008 Summer Olympics and is the first city to be given rights to host the Winter Games as well. The 2020 Summer Games were last year postponed for 12 months because of the pandemic.
