The Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games is officially ending on February 20.

Following a two-week global competition in 15 different sports, the Closing Ceremony for the 2022 Winter Games will begin at Beijing’s National Stadium (also known as the Bird’s Nest) on February 20, 8 pm (HKT). Hong Kong sent its largest winter delegation to the Beijing games this year, and though our Hong Kong athletes gave it their all during the Games, they weren’t able to nab medals. Norway broke the record for most gold medals at a single Olympic Winter Games, followed by Germany and China.

Beijing is the first city to host both Summer (2008) and Winter (2022) editions of the Olympics. This year, events were held in 15 disciplines across seven sports, including new events bobsleigh, short track, freestyle skiing, ski jumping, and snowboarding. During the competition, global athletes compete for 109 sets of medals.

What to expect at the 2022 Winter Olympics closing ceremony?

The Games will officially finish with a closing ceremony and will be directed by famed Chinese director Zhang Yimou. As with the opening ceremony, expect to see the return of the snowflake motif on Sunday night.

International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach will declare the Games closed and the Olympic flame will be extinguished. The Olympic flag will be lowered and the flag of the next host country, Italy, will be raised alongside the flag of the current host, China. Expect to see teasers of what’s to come for the 2026 Games and a 10-minute performance that will include Milan-born singer Malika Ayane and violinist Giovanni Andrea Zanon.

The 2022 Winter Olympics will come to an official end with a fireworks finale.

How to watch the Winter Olympics in Hong Kong?

Like the last Summer Olympics, spectators cannot attend the Winter Games due to the ongoing pandemic. But, you’ll be able to watch every moment of the Games live from the official Olympic Broadcast Partners.

In Hong Kong, you can catch the Games via TVB, which will provide 120 hours of live coverage and highlights from the Games through five of its channels. China Mobile Hong Kong, on the other hand, is giving the public an immersive experience via its free virtual reality (VR) experience for Hong Kong users, providing on-demand Games highlights in VR 360 panorama format. Audiences can also catch the game through RTHK’s TV channel 32, which will air five hours of live competition every day.

If you want to catch highlights from the Games, the Olympics YouTube channel will showcase reels and behind-the-scenes footage, exclusive interviews, news, and replays from the competition.
