The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is the largest winter Olympic event in the history of the Winter Olympics, with a total of 7 major events, which are 3 ice skating, ice hockey, curling, and 4 snow skiing, snowmobiling, bobsleigh and biathlon.

The gold medals in the ice and snow sub-events are added together, which is 109 sub-events.
In the face of the overall situation of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese ice and snow athletes fighting at the doorstep have established two major goals, one is to achieve the goal of participating in the whole project, which is mainly a strategic goal proposed from the number of participating projects, the purpose is to make up for shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses, because projects such as Nordic biathlon, snowmobiles, sleds and other projects have not been carried out in the mainland before, and there is no related venue construction in China. Another goal is to work hard and strive for the best results. In the past, the best result of China's ice and snow in the Olympic Games was to win 5 gold medals in a Winter Olympics, and this time it was to surpass this goal.
As of January 16, the Beijing Winter Olympics qualifying points tournament has all ended. We can measure the achievement of the first goal of China's ice and snow athletes. According to the current points situation, the Chinese team has determined to qualify for at least 95 sub-events at the Beijing Winter Olympics. Compared with the 30-day countdown to the Beijing Winter Olympics on January 4, the Chinese team has added new qualifications in four sub-events. Among them, the Chinese biathlon women's team performed well in the World Cup, obtaining 4 quotas for participating athletes and also qualifying for the women's relay race.
In addition, alpine skiers Ni Yueming and Kong Fanying also met the criteria for the women's super big slalom, and the Chinese alpine ski team qualified for all 11 sub-events. In addition, the number of Olympic seats for freestyle skiing aerial skills and snowboarding parallel giant slalom has also increased, so it can be said that Chinese ice and snow athletes have basically achieved the first strategic goal of participating in all projects of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
According to the regulations of the beijing winter olympic qualification system, the final number of seats in each country and region will be finalized on January 20, and the registration deadline for each event will be closed on January 24.
