before that, here's a look back at some of the beijing games highs and lows. oh, fire works lit up the night sky in beijing to mark the start of the 2022 winter olympics. china's government spent billions in the build up and cove. it didn't make it any easier. the host nation's human rights record was put under international scrutiny. their treatment of wicker muslims prompted countries like the u. s. and the u. k. to stage a diplomatic boycott, china responded by having a bigger athlete light the olympic flay. sticking to the script, international olympic committee president, thomas bah, cited his know, politics, pledge, the position or for the, the i, you see her must be given the or political or neutrality of it, or we are not her commenting on her political. her issues, however, organizers did comment on this display from ukraine. instead of calling it political, the i o. c described it as a call for peace on the sporting front. russia's 15 year old figure skater, camilla valley ava dominated headlines due to testing positive for a band substance. but due

how has that been received by beijing yet? well, i mean, of course it's not being taken we've not been received with glee, obviously doesn't go as far as a full boy of the games that was discussed in some countries by the u. k. and the u . s. also astray. you have elected to state a diplomatic boycott that just means that they won't be sending any government officials or any diplomatic representatives. now china, she's the usa of grandstanding, political posturing and of undermining the games when the diplomatic boycott was announced. and it's one of several political issues to our thorns in china's side during these games. another example, of course, is the participation of taiwan. now, taiwan is a territory that's claimed as part of china by the people's republic. they can be at the games under the banner of chinese taipei and the delegation from the chinese taipei had said that they wouldn't attend the opening or closing ceremonies. now they've now been told by the i o. c, that their participation is required. but you know,

everything is pretty much automated here in beijing. ah, of course i'll be keeping track of everything happening here in beijing for you. alexey rush, husky, r t, reporting from the olympic capital of went to 22 games. beijing and china electron is cov, at measures of apparently affected one russian by athlete. she complained about health problems due to the quality of food given to her in a quarantine hotel. that's where she ended up after testing coping positive on arrival in china. we spoke to alexia gooden at the 2002 olympic figure skating champion, and now a commentator at the beijing games. i honestly don't mind about masks, i don't mind about the quarantine. of course, it's a pity for the athletes, but in my opinion, it's better this way than there being no competition at all. as a former athletes and the person who understands what athletes go through, i would be happy to wear space suit if i had to in order to compete. i would take any tests in the nose, mouth ear, wherever. as long as this sports festival takes place, it seem

the c one had was left with months because x on and beijing they chose beijing. beijing, i think was more surprised than anybody. so the games are here. the run up to the games have been filled with contention. the we're, the genocides is going on in northwestern. john, the region here has occupied the press. the chinese have tried to avoid it. they see has tried to avoid the sponsor. they've tried to pretend like they don't see it . i think everybody will be glad like yours or when the game to get started. the focus goes on, the athletes and the politics probably will be put aside. however, it's very possible with natalie to may speak. god, or we have a lot of contention for these 2 and a half weeks while we're very ging. i think it's important for us to mentioned just balance that of course china denies all the allegations presented against it. about the treatment of weavers in seen jang. but i want to ask you about the atmosphere for the, the fix as well, the hip, it's a similar sort of thing with the corporate restrictions and other restrictions in terms of tokyo. is this any in
