The Beijing National Swimming Complex, which was called “Water Cube” in 2008, became “Ice Cube” in 2022. Curling games are held on this site, and earlier it was used for water sports.
The National Skating Stadium was built from scratch, but on the site of sports facilities that hosted the Summer Olympics. The new “Ice Ribbon” is designed for speed skating competitions.
The capital’s sports palace was built back in the 1960s, and during the Summer Olympics it hosted volleyball competitions. In this Olympics, it was also adapted for a skating rink and in 2022 figure skating and short track competitions are held here.
