The 95th Winter Olympics 100 Questions | What's different about this Chinese delegation?
On the 27th, the Chinese sports delegation to the Beijing Winter Olympics was officially established.
Although the Beijing Winter Olympics have not yet been unveiled, this year's Chinese delegation has already created many records.
First of all, the total number of Chinese sports delegations for the Beijing Winter Olympics reached 387, the largest ever.
Secondly, out of a total of 176 athletes, 131 participated in the Winter Olympics for the first time, which is also more than in previous editions.
This time, the Chinese delegation has completed all 7 major events and 15 sub-events of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and won a total of 194 seats in 104 sub-events (including 4 which need to pass the Beijing Winter Olympics). The "in-competition" event, which is reconfirmed by the results of other Olympic events, accounts for 95.4% of all 109 events.
This is the first time that the Chinese team has achieved full coverage of all major events and sub-events of the Winter Olympics.
On January 25, some members of the Chinese sports delegation to the Beijing Winter Olympics came to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony and took the oath to go out.

At the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, Chinese ice and snow athletes participated in a total of 53 events, accounting for about half of the total number of events.
It can be seen from the number of participating projects that during the Beijing Winter Olympics cycle, the competitive strength of China's ice and snow sports has made great progress.
In addition, 51 foreign teachers were included in the list of the Chinese sports delegation, which also set a new record for the number of foreign coaches in the Chinese Winter Olympics.
These high-level foreign teachers will help the Chinese sports delegation achieve the goal of creating the best results in the history of participating in the Winter Olympics.
