The 2022 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XXIV Olympic Winter Games, were an international winter multi-sport event held from 4 to 20 February 2022 in Beijing, China, and surrounding areas. It was the first time that a city had hosted both the Summer and Winter Olympics, and the first time that the Winter Olympics had been held entirely in China.
The Games featured 109 events in seven sports: alpine skiing, biathlon, bobsleigh, curling, figure skating, freestyle skiing, ice hockey, luge, Nordic combined, short track speed skating, skeleton, snowboarding, and speed skating. A total of 91 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated in the Games, with 2,900 athletes competing.
The 2022 Winter Olympics were marked by several controversies, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the human rights situation in China, and the environmental impact of the Games. However, the Games were also a success in many ways, with many memorable moments and outstanding performances by the athletes.
