The organising committee for the Beijing 2022 Olympics has outlined its legacy plans for the Games.

The plan is centred around "inspiring young people with the Olympic spirit", encouraging millions more to embrace winter sports and using the Winter Games to promote social progress.

Beijing 2022 and its delivery partners will focus on seven themes – sports, society, economy, culture, environment, urban development and regional development.

Beijing will be the first Olympic Games at which the legacy plan will be drawn according to the IOC's Olympic Agenda 2020 and its Legacy Strategic Approach, which aims to help host cities incorporate lasting benefits before, during and after the Games.

"The early identification of this legacy framework, together with the already-identified governance structure that is responsible for monitoring the progress of legacy projects, will help to ensure that the people of China enjoy long-lasting benefits far beyond the Games," a spokesperson for Beijing 2022 said.

Further, more detailed information regarding the legacy plans will be revealed in the run up for the event.
