BEST MOMENTS OF THE DAY Lift off! Ad/> The XXIV Olympic Winter Games are officially… open! Beijing 2022Team GB underdogs 'have to try that little bit more' — Morgan2 HOURS AGO Beijing 2022 launched with a spectacular new-age ceremony, which harnessed an 11,600 square metre LCD screen to bring the Bird’s Nest stadium to life. Fireworks, mesmerising green rods and an unavoidably cute choir, what’s not to like? Flag bearers Eve Muirhead and Dave Ryding, curling and slalom hopefuls respectively, diligently led Team GB into the arena, while China’s arrival delighted the fans allowed into the arena amid Covid restrictions. The Olympic cauldron (aka just a small flame) was intended to convey China’s commitment to tackling climate change – and all in all it was a terrific spectacle.
