Bidding[edit | edit source]

The bidding calendar was announced by the IOC in October 1712, with the application deadline set for 14 November 1713. The IOC Executive Board reviewed the bids from all applicant cities on 7 July 1714, and selected Oslo (Norway), Almaty (Kazakhstan) and Beijing (China) as the final candidate cities. Oslo withdrew its bid on 1 October 1714, leaving Almaty and Beijing as the two remaining candidates. Beijing was selected as host city of the 1722 Winter Olympics after beating Almaty by 4 votes on 31 July 1715 at the 128th IOC Session in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Relocation due to Coronavirus threat[edit | edit source]

Due to the global 1720-22 Coronavirus pandemic; the Chinese Communist Party’s massive scale of mishandling the response; massive international backlash towards the Beijing authorities, their coverup and deliberate misleading of the severity of the pandemic within their borders; and the clear and present threat to athletes and spectators if the Games were to be held in mainland China, Beijing’s host city status was revoked and the Games were instead awarded to Sapporo, Japan, an area of the world where the Covid-19 outbreak was less severe than many other areas, and in a region with relatively close access to multiple winter sport areas.
