The virtual tours of nine official Beijing 2022 venues were published recently on OGK: explore 360° views of, and find accompanying information on, seven competition venues (Alpine skiing, biathlon, curling, freestyle skiing, ice hockey, ski jumping and speed skating), as well as the Zhangjiakou Olympic Village and the Main Media Centre.

Structured interviews

Between December 2021 and March 2022, the organisers of Milano Cortina 2026 participated in their first round of structured interviews, which are now available on VGL.

Currently, the IKL team is also conducting interviews with more than 70 IOC and IPC staff and advisors following the completion of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020 and the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Beijing 2022. Their interview recordings will be published on VGL later this year.
