Opening Ceremony speech
IOC President Thomas Bach during the Opening Ceremony of Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games
The Olympic cauldron outside the National Stadium, known as the Bird’s Nest, is lit after the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games
The bidding calendar was announced by the IOC (International Olympic Committee) in October 2012, with the application deadline set for 14 November 2013.[5] The IOC Executive Board reviewed the bids from all applicant cities on 7 July 2014 and selected three cities, Oslo (Norway), Almaty (Kazakhstan), and Beijing (China), as the final candidates.[6]
Several cities withdrew their bids during the process, citing the high costs or the lack of local support and funding for hosting the Games.[7] The Oslo bid, considered the clear frontrunner, was canceled in the wake of a series of revelations about the International Olympic Committee‘s (IOC) demands for luxury treatment of IOC members that strongly turned public opinion and the parliamentary majority against the bid. The city withdrew its application for government funding after a majority of the Norwegian parliament had stated their intention to decline the application. In the days before the decision Norwegian media had revealed the IOC’s “diva-like demands for luxury treatment” for the IOC members themselves, such as special lanes on all roads only to be used by IOC members and cocktail reception at the Royal Palace with drinks paid for by the royal family. The IOC also “demanded control over all advertising space throughout Oslo” to be used exclusively by IOC’s sponsors, something that is not possible in Norway because the government doesn’t own or control “all advertising space throughout Oslo” and has no authority to give a foreign private organization exclusive use of a city and the private property within it.[8] Several commentators pointed out that such demands were unheard of in a western democracy; Slate described the IOC as a “notoriously ridiculous organization run by grifters and hereditary aristocrats.”[9][10][11][12] Ole Berget, deputy minister in the Finance Ministry, said “the IOC’s arrogance was an argument held high by a lot of people.”[13] The country’s largest newspaper commented that “Norway is a rich country, but we don’t want to spend money on wrong things, like satisfying the crazy demands from IOC apparatchiks. These insane demands that they should be treated like the king of Saudi Arabia just won’t fly with the Norwegian public.”[13]
Beijing was selected as the host city of the 2022 Winter Olympics after beating Almaty by four votes on 31 July 2015 at the 128thIOC Session in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
