National Aquatics Centre
Events/Competitions: Curling / Wheelchair Curling (Paralympic Winter Games)
Beijing 2008 Legacy Venue
Another iconic venue from the 2008 Games that will be repurposed for 2022 is the National Aquatics Centre. The venue hosted the swimming, diving, and synchronized swimming competitions in 2008 which, in combination with its box-like design, earned it the moniker, “The Water Cube”.
For the Winter Olympics, the Water Cube has been transformed into the “Ice Cube” in preparation for the curling competition. Following the 2022 Games, the multi-purpose venue will continue to be used for both winter and summer sports, switching between the two depending on the season.
