In Beijing's Haidian district, a school is giving students a hands-on taste of the Olympics, inspired by the city's planned bid to host the 2022 Winter Games.

Yang Fang Dian Primary School hosted its 14th annual Olympic Culture Day last month, during which students made energetic presentations about recent Olympic Games and Paralympics before participating in a range of sports activities, from judo and aerobics to soccer, taekwondo, basketball and even a mock dragon boat race.

Special guests included players from the Beijing Guoan soccer club, who showed the school's young soccer fans their best kicks.
