Seven months have passed since the last Olympics and it’s already time for round two. That’s right, Winter Olympic Games are just around the corner and we have just enough time to start planning our schedule so we could fit in all the important events. Sports fans who enjoy disciplines like skiing and figure skating as well as betting fans who enjoy Online Betting in the Philippines are eagerly waiting for the Games to begin. 

However, the recent Coronavirus outbreak caused different airlines to change their schedules, but also urgent testing of the mass population in several cities in China. This raised the question of whether or not the Games will be postponed, but according to Chinese officials, everything will go on as planned. 

Athletes who have traveled to China from foreign countries must bring two negative tests with them, and those who weren’t vaccinated have to spend 21 days in isolation. Additionally, vaccinated athletes are expected to stick to the designated areas. 

And even though these measures can seem too strict, China remains determined at maintaining a low number of those infected with the virus even after the Games are over.

It’s also important to mention that only mainland residents of China are allowed to watch the Games. However, the rest of us who will watch the Games from home can do so on NBC Universal, NBC Olympics, Olympics channel, or ESPN.

Now, let us take a look at some of the events that will take place at these Winter Games and their schedule.
