Beijing might be like a city within a city due to its added closed-loop security measures designed to counter the unique COVID-19 virus. The Beijing Organizing Committee has ensured that 564 competitors’ dreams and hopes are contained within the Olympic cocoon.
These athletes have converged to the nation’s capital for a carefully orchestrated championship competition where they can display their guts and determination and reap the rewards of their years of hard work.

The Beijing 2022 Winter Games logo shone brightly under the city’s floodlights as night fell on the capital. A band of disabled musicians from all over China got the ceremony started with their infectious sounds.
As Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China, and Andrew Parsons, President of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), entered the arena, the stage transformed into a starry ocean, transporting those in attendance through a timeline of the past 12 Paralympic Winter Games. The timeline then froze on “2022 Beijing, China.”
Then Shuey Rhon Rhon, the mascot of these Paralympic Winter Games, who stands for companionship, bravery, and strength, skated into the stadium, and the entire field became a snowy, icy arena for the competition.
