Beijing Games fan-free torch lighting ceremony set for Oct. 18 -officials

The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics torch lighting ceremony will be held without spectators in Greece's ancient Olympia on Oct. 18 and the flame will depart for China the very next day, Greek officials have said.

But there will be no relay in Greece this time, with the flame being taken to Beijing on Oct. 19. There will also be no fans on the grassy slopes of the ancient stadium when the flame is lit due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Beijing will host the Games on Feb. 4-20. Following a meeting between Greek authorities this week, including police and the country's Olympic committee and Chinese Games organisers, it was decided to hold the ceremony in ancient Olympia without fans.
