Might as well get this thread started. The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will be starting on February 4th and ending on February 20th. It will be taking place in the same city as the 2008 Summer Olympics and even reusing some of the venues and infrastructure from it as well. Of the twenty six venues ALL OF THEM WILL BE RUNNING ON RENEWABLE ENERGY. No words yet on how many Uighers will be chained to the giant hamster wheels to power the electrical turbines as of yet though.
There will be a record 109 events over 15 disciplines. Some of the new events will include Women's Nordic Combined which combines cross country with ski jumping. Mixed Team Ski Jumping, not sure how Trans policy works on that and Mens and Womens BIG AIR in Freestyle Skiing which is basically doing stunts and aerial acrobatics with skis. There will also be new luge, slalom, snowboarding and biathlon events.
Also for those that only care about the one important event, the Mens Ice Hockey Finals will take place on February 20th.
In regards to participation, Russia is still under their ongoing doping ban and so will be performing under the flag of the Russian Olympic Committee yet again. Also North Korea will not be participating in the 2022 Beijing Olympics due to "Covid-19 and hostile actors" since they too were censured for not sending athletes to the 2021 Summer Olympics.
Meanwhile Haiti and Saudi Arabia will be making Winter Olympic debuts. And Jamaica is returning with a new Bobsled team!
The following countries have engaged in Diplomatic Boycotts for the game. Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Great Britain, Japan, Kosovo, Lithuania, and the United States. Also Austria, New Zealand, India, Sweden, and the Netherlands also won't be sending diplomatic officials... but due to the Covid-19 Pandemic supposedly.
The worse loss however is that the NHL won't be sending players to participate in the 2022 Olympic Games also citing the Commie Cough... so actually maybe Ice Hockey shouldn't be required watching in this hemisphere.
But you know what is coming back?
ANAL SWABS!!!
*inhales sharply*
I'd say this would raise Red Flags... but... China...
