The planning for Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games venues¹ is on schedule, according to the Beijing Winter Olympics organizing committee.

 

北京冬奥会奥组委表示，北京2022冬奥会场馆建设正按计划进行。

 

While this is good news, spending has not yet been confirmed and some venues' designs are still under discussion with the international federations³ and broadcast companies.

 

Liu Yumin, an official from the planning and construction department of the organizing committee told Xinhua on Monday that venue² operation facilities like lodging⁴ houses in the Olympic village and the parking lots to the west of National Speed Skating Oval, are very important during the design and construction.

 

"These facilities won't serve the Olympics directly and the related spending is excluded from the total investment, " said Liu. " The infrastructure⁵, like high-speed railways, airports, highways and some public facilities are the projects funded by government or companies for the city's development."

 

Beijing 2022 will use 26 competition and non-competition venues in three zones. Venue construction for Beijing 2022 has sped up on all fronts.

 

Beijing will host 13 venues, including eight from the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, four newly-built, and one temporary venue.
