Plans laid for economical Winter Olympics

All but one venue in Beijing will take advantage of facilities built for 2008 Summer Games

The public will be able to enjoy legacies of both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, thanks to Beijing's promise to host the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in a sustainable and cost-effective way.

The planning and construction of venues for the Winter Games will demonstrate sustainable development, said Han Zirong, secretary-general of the Beijing Organising Committee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
