Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics unveils ‘Together for a shared future’ slogan
- ‘We are sparing no effort to make these Olympic Winter Games safe and secure for everyone,’ says IOC president Thomas Bach
- Chinese capital will become first host city of Summer and Winter Games when action begins on February 4 next year
Organisers revealed the slogan at the Capital Museum as they counted down 140 days to the opening of the 24th Winter Olympics on February 4.
“The slogan is a call to all people across the world to march together under the Olympic flag,” the official Twitter account said of the slogan which was picked from 79 submitted from Chinese universities.
Those were whittled down to 11 options by a panel of experts, which were then presented to the International Olympic Committee and International Paralympic Committee.
“The final selection, “Together for a Shared Future” which is in line with the characteristics and functions of the motto, which is concise, easy to read, easy to remember, and calls for coming together, demonstrates the Olympic spirit and philosophy of Beijing 2022,” the Olympics and Paralympics websites reported.
