- China unveiled emblems for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics inspired by Chinese calligraphy.
- Beijing, which hosted the Olympics in 2008, will become the first city ever to hold both the summer and winter Games.
- Designed by artist Lin Cunzhen, the emblems combine traditional and modern elements of Chinese culture, as well as features embodying the passion and vitality of winter sports.
- Inspired by 冬, the Chinese character for “winter”, the emblem resembles a skater at the top and a skier at the bottom.
- The flowing ribbon-like motif between them symbolises the host country’s rolling mountains, Olympic venues, ski pistes and skating rinks. It also points to the fact that the Games will coincide with the Chinese New Year.
