The 2022 Winter Olympics begins with the Opening Ceremony at the National Stadium in Beijing, China. Here are details about how to watch the event.
The Opening Ceremony for the 2022 Beijing Olympics will take place at the National Stadium. The venue also held the Opening Ceremony for the Summer Olympics 14 years ago in a dazzling display.
Along with the Opening Ceremony, the 80,000-capacity venue will also be the site of the Closing Ceremony on Feb. 20.While some events begin in the two days prior to the Opening Ceremony, the ceremony marks the official start of the Olympics. Among the traditional events of the Opening Ceremony is the Parade of Nations, where competitors march into the stadium under their nation’s flag. There is also the raising of the host nation’s flag and singing of the host’s national anthem.
Another notable event is the lighting of the Olympic torch. The 2022 torch did not make the conventional trip from Olympia, Greece to Beijing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Olympic flame was lit on Oct. 18, 2021, before traveling straight to Athens before arriving in Beijing on Oct. 20. Whereas the Olympic torch for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics had a 121-day journey through Japan, the Olympic Torch Relay for the 2022 Beijing Olympics will begin just three days ahead of the Opening Ceremony.
