Beijing is re-using facilities that were built for 2008 in 2022.
  • The Bird's Nest will host the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
  • Curling will be in the Water Cube.
  • Hockey will be held in the arenas where gymnastics & handball and basketball were held in 2008.
  • Figure skating will be in the same arena where volleyball was held.
  • The Convention Centre that served as the International Broadcast Centre in 2008 will be used for that purpose again.
