2022 Winter Olympics: Report confirm escalating cost of Beijing games

Beijing 2022 COVID-19 measures: ′bubble′ system for athletes and no  overseas fans | Sports | German football and major international sports  news | DW | 30.09.2021

Yet another report estimating the true cost of the Beijing Winter Olympics has surfaced — this time from a Financial Times analysis that says the nation spent about $8.8 billion.

That’s more than twice China’s original projected number of about $3.9 billion.

Construction projects related to the Games, including venues and the Olympic Village, were originally planned to cost about $1.5 billion but China ended up spending twice that.

Transportation ended up costing about $4 billion, though the IOC claimed those costs weren’t necessarily counted as specific Olympics projects, but rather as general infrastructure.

Additional costs included making artificial snow and preparing COVID-19 preventions.
