The earthwork of the Beijing Winter Olympic Village, construction of roads on the hills at the national Alpine skiing center and the cooling system beneath the tracks at the national sliding center for bobsled, skeleton and luge in Yanqing are expected to be complete before the same deadline.
All Beijing 2022 venues and facilities will be ready for testing events in the 2020-21 winter season, said Liu Yumin, an official from the planning and construction department of the Beijing 2022 organizing committee. Plans call for post-Olympics functions to be predesigned for all new permanent venues.
