BEIJING : As sporting rivalries go the United States and Canada does not reach the intensity of Argentina and Brazil but when it comes to Winter Olympics the North American neighbours turn the heat up.
Friday February 4 2022 will be a very special day in China, as the Beijing’s National Stadium – aka the Bird’s Nest — hosts the Winter Olympics 2022 opening ceremony. It is almost 14 years since the Chinese capital hosted the Summer Olympics in 2008, and the event marks the official start of the games, despite the action actually getting underway on Wednesday.

When Beijing hosts the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics on 4 February, it will become the first city in the world to have hosted both the Summer and Winter Games, which this year's medals have been designed to reflect. They will feature the «jade-inlaid medals of the Summer Games in 2008» to showcase Beijing as the first «dual Olympic city,» according to the official Olympic website.
It's Chinese New Year, traditionally a time of great celebration, and the capital is hosting an Olympic Games. But you wouldn't know it.
Training in the dead of night on her local ice rink, in isolation, was not exactly what figure skater Kailani Craine had in mind for her Winter Olympics preparation.
Australia's first athletes will compete at the Beijing Winter Olympic Games later today, two days before the opening ceremony signals the traditional start to the two-week sporting extravaganza.
The Olympics are heading back to Beijing.
