Beijing wins bid to host 2022 Olympic Winter Games

Beijing has won the right to host the 2022 Olympic Winter Games, beating its only competitor Almaty, Kazakhstan to become the first city in history to host both the Summer and Winter Olympics.

On Friday, IOC members voted for Beijing in a narrow vote during the sport organization’s 128th session held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Beijing received 44 votes whereas Almaty had 40.

The Beijing Winter Games will of course come just 14 years after the 2008 Summer Olympics held in the same city.
