الأولمبياد الشتوي - التزلج السريع على المضمار القصير

By Phil Bainbridge

February 4, 2022 - February 20, 2022 - تقام دورة الألعاب الأولمبية الشتوية لعام 2022، المعروفة رسميًا باسم الألعاب الأولمبية الشتوية الرابعة والعشرين، في بكين، الصين.

The Short-track speed skating events will take place at the Capital Indoor Stadium in Beijing. The site became famous in 1971 as the venue for “ping-pong diplomacy”, in which the U.S. table tennis team, the first Americans allowed into China since the Communist revolution in 1949, played against their Chinese counterparts, laying the groundwork for the establishment of official relations between the two countries.
