2022 Winter Olympics torch relay

The 2022 Winter Olympics torch relay will run from 18 October 2021 until 4 February 2022. After it was lit in Olympia, Greece, the torch traveled in a symbolic relay[1] to Athens on 19 October.[2][3] The Chinese leg will end in Beijing National Stadium, at the end of the opening ceremony. On 20 October 2021, it was announced that the Chinese leg will have only three days, starting on 2 February, at the morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year as stage 3. Unlike the previous relays, the relay only will visit the three venues clusters, the main sights of Beijing and the city of Zhangjiakou.[4]
