# Olympic torch unveiled during one-year countdown to Beijing 2022

Dubbed "Flying," the torch design of 2022 Winter Olympics was unveiled on Feb. 4, 2021, exactly one year before the opening of the Games. The 2022 torch features a similar design to the Beijing 2008 Summer Games' main cauldron, which resembled a giant scroll, highlighting the legacy of the Olympic spirit in the Chinese capital.
