Renovated Capital Indoor Stadium ramps up Games preparations
As the oldest of all Beijing 2022 venues, the Capital Indoor Stadium has transformed into a double-duty ice sports center following a facelift to stage two of the host s strongest disciplines at the Winter Olympics.
Built in 1968 as a multi-purpose summer sports facility, the stadium still evokes its past in much of its exterior appearance. However, the skating events taking place this week in its renovated competition hall herald an exciting new era for the landmark venue in the lead-up to the 2022 Winter Games.

Dhe United States wants to discuss a possible boycott of the Olympic Winter Games in Beijing with its allies. “That is something we definitely want to talk about,” said US State Department spokesman Ned Price on Tuesday.
Recently, calls from activists and the Republican opposition to boycott the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing because of human rights violations in the Chinese province of Xinjiang, among other things.
Price stressed on Tuesday on the online service Twitter that Washington had “no announcement regarding the Olympics in Beijing” to make. The government will, however, “continue to consult closely with our allies and partners in order to define our common concerns and to find a common approach” to the Olympic Games in Beijing. “The games are still some time away. I wouldn’t want to set a schedule, but these discussions are ongoing. “
