Less than six months after Tokyo, the Olympic Games are back.
Still in Asia, but in China this time, and especially on snow and ice: time for the Winter Games!
What time to see the exams?
Between Paris and Beijing, there is a seven hour time difference.
Thus, the vast majority of events will take place from 1:30 a.m. in France, to end around 4:30 p.m. (French time).
