Beijing hosted the XXIV Olympic Winter Games in February 2022. The event occurred during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and, as such, many precautions were taken to mitigate any outbreaks. The IOC devised a plan called the "closed-loop system" that isolated the event from the outside world; though effective, there were concerns about the psychological toll this system had on those involved. Our team researched and devised a "mental release plan" that aimed to mitigate these issues with targeted recommendations.
