Chinese Olympic Committee President Liu Peng attends a closing ceremony at the end of the IOC's visit to inspect Beijing's 2022 Winter Olympics bid in Beijing, China, 28 March 2015. IOC inspectors left Beijing on Sunday (29 March 2015) after praising the capital's bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics that, if successful, would make it the first city to hold both the winter and summer games. Their departure followed a news conference at which Evaluation Commission chairman Alexander Zhukov affirmed Beijing's embrace of the IOC's goals for a more frugal, sustainable and athlete-centred event. Beijing's bid relies heavily on the experience and infrastructure gained from the 2008 Summer Olympics, as well as expanding the appeal of winter sports in the world's most populous nation. "From this visit we can see that your Games in 2008 have left a profound legacy, " Zhukov said. "We can also see the legacy of 2008 in the level of expertise and knowledge of the Beijing 2022 bid team, " Zhukov said.
