The Tokyo Olympic Games this year, postponed from 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, saw a successful summer of sport and we haven’t got long to wait for another Olympic Games.
In 2022, the Winter Olympic Games will take place in Beijing and we’ll see sports including curling, skiing and bobsleigh.
Wednesday October 27, 2021 marks 100 days to go until the opening ceremony.

It’s expected that Team GB will take just under 60 athletes to the Games in February where they’ll be looking to top their previous total of 5 medals in Pyeongchang in 2018.
Speaking of medals, those being awarded to Winter Olympians early next year have been unveiled along with the Paralympic medals and here’s what they look like.
