A total of six bids were initially submitted for the [[2022 Winter Olympics]]. Four of the bids were subsequently withdrawn by 1 October 2014, citing either the high costs of hosting the Games or the lack of local support, leaving [[Almaty, Kazakhstan]] and [[Beijing, China]] as the only two remaining candidate cities.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://time.com/3462070/olympics-winter-2022/|title=Why Nobody Wants to Host the 2022 Winter Olympics|date=3 October 2014|magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]|access-date=20 September 2015|first=Lisa|last=Abend}}</ref> [[Beijing]] was then elected as the host city at the [[128th IOC Session]] in [[Kuala Lumpur]], [[Malaysia]], on 31 July 2015.

==Candidate cities venues list==
Note that the selected candidate cities have slightly changed venues plan in the final proposal to the IOC. Almaty moved technical alpine skiing events from [[Shymbulak]] to Tau, and completely removed both Kok Zhaylau and Ak-Bulak ski resorts, previously proposed for snowboarding and freestyle skiing events. Beijing dropped both Taiwu and Wanlong ski resorts, and proposed hosting snowboarding and freestyle skiing events in the two venues (A and B) in Genting Snow Park.

==Candidate cities overview==
On 15 November 2013, the IOC announced the list of the six applicant cities.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.olympic.org/news/rising-interest-in-olympic-winter-games-as-six-cities-bid-to-host-2022-games/217175|title=Rising interest in Olympic Winter Games as six cities bid to host 2022 Games|work=olympic.org|publisher=International Olympic Committee|date=15 November 2013}}</ref> On 7 July 2014, the IOC announced that there were three remaining applicant cities that would move on to the candidate phase; these were Almaty, Beijing and Oslo.
On 1 October 2014, Oslo withdrew its application after one of the country's governing political parties [[Conservative Party (Norway)|Høyre]] decided not to support the application.<ref>[https://www.si.com/more-sports/2014/10/01/norway-rejects-2022-winter-olympics "Norway government rejects 2022 Winter Olympics bid"], from ''Sports Illustrated'' 1 October 2014</ref> The remaining two candidate cities were therefore Almaty and Beijing.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.olympic.org/news/first-ioc-executive-board-meeting-under-president-bach/218358|title=First IOC Executive Board meeting under President Bach|publisher=International Olympic Committee|work=olympic.org|date=10 December 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Five bid cities submit application files to host 2022 Olympic Winter Games|url=http://www.olympic.org/news/five-bid-cities-submit-application-files-to-host-2022-olympic-winter-games/227355|work=olympic.org|publisher=International Olympic Committee|date=14 March 2014}}</ref>
Both of the candidate cities suggested hosting the Games between February 4–20, 2022. The Paralympics will be held from March 4–13. While another city suggested hosting the Games between February 11–27, 2022. The Paralympics will be held from March 11–20.

Presenting Kazakhstan's bid at the final event in Kuala Lumpur, Prime Minister of Kazakhstan [[Karim Massimov]] made a speech with the key message that Almaty was "not a risk choice for 2022", but "a golden opportunity to prove that smaller advancing nations can successfully host the winter games". He called to the IOC core values saying that letting Almaty host the Games was "a golden opportunity to showcase the real long-term power of Olympic legacy for a region that has never hosted the Games".<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6kx0YUXJGg Speech made by Karim Massimov before the final voting in Kuala Lumpur on July 31]</ref>
In the final voting Almaty lost to Beijing by only 4 votes.
