IOC panel to brief media on Beijing 2022 Winter Games

The International Olympic Committee's coordination commission for the Beijing 2022 Winter Games will hold a media briefing in the capital on Tuesday. The concept of the Games is closely aligned with the long-term development goals for the city and neighboring Hebei province. The Games, which will take advantage of a planned high-speed rail link between Beijing and the mountains, are designed to expand participation in winter sports and create a new "Sport, Culture and Tourism Belt" in North China.
