BEIJING: The focus immediately shifts to Beijing as the curtain falls on the Tokyo Olympics, with a growing coronavirus outbreak in China and boycott calls looming large just six months from the start of the Winter Games.
The Beijing 2022 Olympics are scheduled to take place from Feb 4 to 20, when the Chinese capital will become the first city to host a Winter and Summer Games.
New venues have been constructed and some from Beijing 2008, including the “Bird’s Nest” National Stadium, are being spruced up as China attempts to show the world its best face.
The 2022 Games will be spread over three main zones — Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou, which is about 180 kilometres northwest of the capital. A high-speed train will connect the three hubs.
