Tirana, 17 Jan (Xinhua) -- Albanian National Olympic Committee President Fidel Yuli said on 17 January that he firmly believes that China will host the best Winter Olympic Games ever held and that the Beijing Winter Olympics will be very successful.

In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, Yu Li said that he firmly believes that the Beijing Winter Olympics will be very successful, not only from the organizational aspect, but also from the competition of all athletes, they have been training for four years and can reach the peak of the Winter Olympics.

He said that although the Albanian team was small in number, they represented the country in this major sporting event.

He said Albania does not have a suitable ski resort to host such a large event. However, a month ago, the Albanian Ski Association, in cooperation with the Italian Ski Association, successfully organized the Albanian Ski Championship in the Italian Alps.

According to Huli, Albania could have had two athletes, one male and one female, in Beijing, but the female athletes were injured, and they will have only one athlete to compete, 18-year-old Danny Jeppa, who is currently training in Italy. Huli believes that Jeppa will perform well at the Beijing Winter Olympics, and his goal is to break the Albanian record and prepare for the next Winter Olympics in four years.
