Temat poświęcony Arenom Olimpijskim podczas XXIV Zimowych Igrzysk Olimpijskich w Pekinie 2022.
The National Stadium:
Also known as "The Bird's Nest" due to its unique design, this iconic stadium hosted the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, as well as the athletics competition and men's football final of the Summer Games.
While no sporting competitions will take place at the venue during the 2022 Winter Olympics, the Bird's Nest will once again be the site of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Games.
Events/Competitions: Opening and Closing Ceremonies
Another iconic venue from the 2008 Games that will be repurposed for 2022 is the National Aquatics Centre. The venue hosted the swimming, diving, and synchronized swimming competitions in 2008 which, in combination with its box-like design, earned it the moniker, "The Water Cube".
For the Winter Olympics, the Water Cube has been transformed into the "Ice Cube" in preparation for the curling competition.
Following the 2022 Games, the multi-purpose venue will continue to be used for both winter and summer sports, switching between the two depending on the season.
Nicknamed "The Fan" due to its design that resembles a traditional Chinese folding fan, the National Indoor Stadium was built for the 2008 Summer Olympics, where it hosted rhythmic gymnastics, trampoline, and handball.
In 2015 it hosted the ice hockey women's world championship, and it will share hosting duties for the ice hockey competition at the 2022 Olympics with Wukesong Sports Centre.

After staging the basketball tournament at the 2008 Olympics, the Wukesong Sports Centre has successfully been used as a multipurpose arena in the years since. With a capacity of 18,000 spectators, it will serve as the main indoor venue for ice hockey at the 2022 Winter Games alongside the National Indoor Stadium.
The National Speed Skating Oval is the only new venue built on Beijing's Olympic Green (the Olympic Park constructed for the 2008 Games) for the Winter Olympics. The stadium was built on the site of the Olympic Green Hockey Field used for field hockey event and the Olympic Green Archery Field used for the archery event at the 2008 Olympics.
Unsurprisingly, the National Speed Skating Oval - bearing the nickname "The Ice Ribbon" - will host the speed skating competition at Beijing 2022.
After hosting the volleyball tournament at the 2008 Summer Olympics, the Capital Indoor Stadium will stage the figure skating and short track speed skating competitions during the Winter Olympics.
The arena, built in 1968, has staged several important sporting events, including the table tennis matches between China and the United States as part of the ping pong diplomacy exchange program in 1971, and one of the first NBA games in China in 2004.
Events/Competitions: Short Track Speed Skating, Figure Skating
Arguably the most unique venue of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is Big Air Shougang, which has been built on a former steel mill site, set against the backdrop of four industrial cooling towers.
It is the world's first permanent venue for Big Air, and will stage the freestyle skiing and snowboard Big Air competitions at the Games. Following the Winter Olympics, the venue will be used for various sports competitions and athlete training, as well as cultural and civic events.

The National Sliding Centre in Yanqing is the first sliding track in China and only the third in Asia. The centre offers a seating capacity of 2,000, as well as a further 8,000 standing capacity.
Following the conclusion of the Winter Olympics, the centre will be used to host international competitions, as well as a training venue for the Chinese national team
Situated in the Xiaohaituo Mountain Area in northwest Yanqing, the National Alpine Ski Centre is made up of seven courses, with the largest vertical drop reaching 900 meters.
The venue - which will continue to be used for international competitions and athlete training following the Winter Olympics - has a seating capacity of 5,000 and a standing capacity of 3,500 for spectators.

The National Ski Jumping Centre will stage the ski jumping competition and the ski jumping discipline in the Nordic combined competition at Beijing 2022.
The architectural design of the ski jump resembles a traditional ruyi sceptre (a Chinese talisman), hence the nickname for the facility: "Snow Ruyi".
Following the Winter Olympics, Snow Ruyi will be used by the Chinese national team for training and as a tourist resort.
The Genting Snow Park is an existing ski resort and will be the home of freestyle skiing and snowboarding events (apart from Big Air) during Beijing 2022.
The park will have two separate venues - Park A, for freestyle skiing, and Park B, for snowboarding - each with the capacity to hold 7,500 spectators. The parks will feature six courses in total: halfpipe, slopestyle, ski/snowboard cross, parallel giant slalom, moguls and aerials.
