Millions of people around the world will be turning their eyes to the Chinese capital for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and the Paralympic Winter Games that follow soon after.

The city is hoping to pull off a successful second Olympics (they hosted the Summer Olympics in 2008) despite the dangers of the Omicron coronavirus variant and the absence of some foreign dignitaries from the opening ceremony.

The athletes are ready to shine in front of the limited number of spectators, thanks to the event’s closed-loop system, allowed at events. Key to them performing at their best are the clothes that they wear, specifically designed for the daredevil sports on show at the three Games sites in Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou.

From the opening ceremony outfits to those worn on the snow and ice through to the closing ceremony, we take a look at the best and worst clothing designs for Beijing 2022.
