Beijing mayor promises frugal, smog-free Winter Games


Beijing's Acting Mayor Wang delivers his government work report speech during the opening ceremony of the Beijing Municipal People's Congress at Beijing Conference Centre If Beijing wins the right to hold the 2022 Winter Olympics they will be both frugal and free from the city's notorious smog, the city's mayor was quoted as saying in a state-run newspaper on Tuesday. "Holding the Games in a frugal way is not a slogan, it's a reality," Mayor Wang Anshun said, according to the official China Daily. "We will make full use of our current sports facilities and strictly control construction costs." Beijing, along with the nearby city of Zhangjiakou jointly bidding for the Games, is playing host this week to an evaluation team from the International Olympic Committee. Beijing, which hosted the 2008 summer Olympics to broad acclaim, is planning to make use of existing facilities to lessen the costs.
