The International Olympic Committee believes the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics will be cost-effective, largely because of the flexibility provided by existing venues and reforms.
As the first host city affected by the Olympic Agenda 2020 reform throughout its full course of preparation, Beijing is expected to set a new benchmark for future Games in terms of frugality and sustainability, taking advantage of the 2008 Summer Games legacy.
"It is very encouraging to see how Beijing 2022 is already tapping into its potential to maximize the use of existing venues and is embracing Agenda 2020," IOC president Thomas Bach said during the Pyeongchang 2018 debrief at western Beijing's Shougang Industrial Park on Tuesday.
