The Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games, held Feb. 2 to Feb. 20, 2022, brought together athletes from all over the world to compete in winter sports on a global stage.

While viewership ratings for the 24th Winter Olympics have been historically low — averaging between 11 million and 16 million viewers a day — the overall competition has been as fierce as ever. And thanks to digital and social media, it has the potential to be one of the most-viewed video events in history. Nathan Chen and Kamila Valieva's individual figure-skating routines alone have already racked up more than 2 million views each on YouTube.

But those are just the beginning of some of the fascinating stats behind these Olympic Games. Just see for yourself.
