Thursday marks the fourth day of the so-called technical briefing for IOC members on the 2022 candidate cities.
The briefing gives Almaty 2022 and Beijing 2022 a chance to explain how they plan to stage the Games, as well as for IOC members to ask questions to the candidates.
In less than two months, the IOC will select a host city for the 2022 Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on July 31.
