Opening ceremonies for the 2022 Beijing Olympics are 100 days out
With the dust barely settled on the recent Summer Olympics, a reminder came Wednesday that the next instalment of the Games is fast approaching.
The Beijing Olympics will begin Feb. 4, just six months after the closing ceremony capped a Summer Games that was postponed a year because of COVID-19. Events in Tokyo were held in mostly empty venues. Fans will be allowed in Beijing but spectators from outside mainland China will not be allowed to attend.
“I’m definitely fired up and I love the pressure and the buildup to the Games and that feeling like you’re building up to something bigger every race.” IOC president Thomas Bach has said the Olympics must be “respected as politically neutral ground.” That likely won’t silence the critics, who aren’t letting up with their boycott calls.
