Beijing

China’s “zero-COVID” policy put the Beijing Winter Olympics under some of the strictest coronavirus protocols in the world. The Games took place in a “closed-loop” environment comprised of gated “bubble areas” that contained housing, event locations, and transport links.There were also no tickets sold to the general public, while many media professionals worked from home due to COVID concerns. The conditions left Getty Images, the official photo agency for the International Olympic Committee, with reduced support teams on the ground. To tackle the challenges, the team tapped into robotic cameras and remote editing.
