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.
