Which country hosted the 2022 Winter Olympics ?
China
The 2022 Winter Olympics were held in China — option 1.
The Games. The XXIV Olympic Winter Games took place at Beijing from 4 to 20 February 2022, with the snow events at Zhangjiakou and Yanqing. Beijing thereby became the first city in history to host both a Summer and a Winter Olympic Games, having held the Summer Games in 2008. Norway topped the medal table.
| Year | Winter Olympics host |
|---|---|
| 2014 | Sochi, Russia |
| 2018 | Pyeongchang, South Korea |
| 2022 | Beijing, China |
| 2026 | Milan-Cortina, Italy |
| 2030 | French Alps |
Why the other options are placed there. Each has genuinely hosted a Winter Games: South Korea the edition immediately before, at Pyeongchang in 2018; Canada at Calgary in 1988 and Vancouver in 2010; and Japan at Sapporo in 1972 and Nagano in 1998. Recognising that all four are plausible is what makes the sequence of recent hosts worth remembering.
India at the Games. India was represented by a single athlete, the alpine skier Arif Khan, in the slalom and giant slalom. India has never won a Winter Olympic medal; participation is limited by the lack of winter-sport facilities, though skiing at Gulmarg and Auli and the ice sports of Ladakh provide a small base.
A note on the schedule. Winter and Summer Games were held in the same year until 1992 and were then staggered, so that from 1994 a Games of one kind falls in every even year — which is why 2022 was a Winter year and 2024, at Paris, a Summer one.
Hence, the answer is China.
