A 10-day ice sports testing program began on Thursday at Beijing's five Olympic venues, which have completed construction of their ice-making infrastructure.

The test program, dubbed Experience Beijing, will involve a full-scale shakedown of competition organization, venue operations, services and safety for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

The five venues are the National Aquatics Center, the National Indoor Stadium, the National Speed Skating Oval, the Capital Gymnasium and the Wukesong Sports Center.
