Sun Dandan believes that the holding of the Beijing Winter Olympics will promote the development of ice and snow in domestic campus sports, so that more schools can participate in ice and snow sports. "The charm of ice and snow sports is not only a sport for teenagers, but also a family game, or a fitness sport (to promote physical health)."
When talking about teenagers as the "main force" of ice and snow sports in the future, Sun Dandan said: "Teenagers are the foundation of our (ice and snow sports) at the highest level, so if there are no more teenagers to participate in this sport, the future development space will be smaller and smaller."
