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.
Billy Morgan says Team GB's underdog status means the athletes have to work even harder. The pressure back home on Team GB is massive during the Summer Olympics but the Winter Games do not carry the same level of expectation. Ad/> With its mild climate and lowland geography, the culture around winter sports is not as strong in the United Kingdom, giving the nation an underdog status they do not enjoy at the Summer Games.
Nearly 3,000 athletes have travelled to Beijing for the 2022 Winter Olympics, which get underway today.

Shiffrin won the slalom at the 2014 Olympics before taking another gold in the giant slalom four years later in Pyeongchang. Ad/> She currently tops her sport’s overall World Cup standings, and is widely tipped for more medals in Beijing — where she is set to compete in all five races.

The 2022 Winter Olympics are officially underway in Beijing after a stunning opening ceremony which showcased spectacular light shows, fireworks and cutting edge technology. Just like at the delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Covid once again dominated much of the build-up to the Games, and although the Bird’s Nest stadium was nowhere near full, a small «selected» group of spectators were inside — unlike in Japan last year.
The Olympic Games got underway in Beijing with curling on Wednesday. On Friday, the opening ceremonies officially kick off the Winter Games just sixth months after the Summer Games — which were delayed a year by the coronavirus pandemic — came to a close in Tokyo.
