The biggest! Big age span! A quick look at several sets of data from the East Olympic lineup

On January 27, the Chinese sports delegation for the Beijing Winter Olympics was officially established, with a total number of 387 people and 176 athletes. This is an increase of 94 athletes from the 82 athletes of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. It is the largest participation of Chinese sports delegations in the history of the Winter Olympics.

The Chinese sports delegation not only has a large number of participants, but also has a large age span, ranging from veteran veterans like Wu Dajing who have participated in the Winter Olympic Games many times to young players like Gu Ailing who participated in the Winter Olympics for the first time. Among them, post-00 athletes account for 1/4 of the total number of athletes.

Among the 176 athletes, 131 participated in the Winter Olympics for the first time, accounting for 74.43% of the total. This is not only to achieve results in the Winter Olympics, but also to reserve talents and strength for the long-term development of ice and snow sports in the mainland.
