How many events were held at the 2022 Winter Olympics?

The story behind the answer

A total of 109 events were held at the 2022 Winter Olympics. These were medal events contested across seven sports and 15 disciplines during the Beijing Games.

The figure represented a record for the Winter Olympics at the time. The program expanded with seven new medal events, including women’s monobob, men’s and women’s big air freestyle skiing, and new mixed-team competitions in freestyle skiing aerials, ski jumping, snowboard cross, and short-track speed skating.

The number 109 refers to medal events, not every individual race, heat, match, qualification round, or training session. That distinction explains why some schedules or summaries may appear to contain more activities. The Games brought together 2,880 athletes representing 91 teams and took place mainly in Beijing, Yanqing, and Zhangjiakou. The seven sports were alpine skiing, biathlon, bobsleigh, curling, ice hockey, luge, and skating.
