The 2022 Winter Olympics officially began Friday with the opening ceremony at the famed "Bird's Nest" stadium in Beijing, the first city to ever host a Winter and Summer (2008) Games.
And now it's time to really focus on the competitions.
The first medals of the 2022 Olympics will be handed out on Saturday in Beijing, beginning with cross-country skiing.
