The three-day torch relay for the Beijing Olympics, shortened considerably because of concerns about the coronavirus, started Wednesday 02 Feb 2022 with an 80-year-old former speedskater carrying the flame.
The relay opened at the Olympic Foreign Park. Luo Zhihuan, the country’s first internationally competitive speedskater, ran the first leg.
The torch will be carried through the three Olympics zones, starting with downtown Beijing before heading to Yanqing district and finally Zhangjiakou in neighboring Hebei Province.
China says only selected spectators will be allowed to attend events, and Olympic athletes, officials, staff and journalists are required to stay within a bubble that keeps them from contact with the general public.
