These Games will connect the Chinese people with the world. Having seen how China is overcoming the coronavirus crisis, we are very confident that our Chinese hosts will ensure safe and secure Olympic Games in full cooperation with the IOC.” At the same time, The IOC has sent out invitations via video to the Olympic Committees and athletes of various countries (regions) to invite them to participate in the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

This unique power of sport to unite all of humanity is one of the most important things that the Olympic Games can give us in our troubled times. In a world where mistrust and uncertainty are on the rise, sport is a source of joy and inspiration for so many people, giving us hope that our shared humanity is stronger than the forces that want to divide us.
