“I have never skied when I was a kid, so I would really love to try it.” said Zhao Xinyuan, 21, who was introduced to the sport by coincidence and later qualified in the exam of coach of international alpine level 2, at his first try.

Zhao, the second one on the right, discovered surprisingly that more and more people become fascinated with skiing after a skiing training program in Dubai before returning to Chongqing this year. “I didn’t expect there would be so many people who love winter sports in Chongqing, and I hope that I can help Chongqing people fall in love with the sport.”

The skiing hall is never a place dominated by adults, the rising popularity of the winter sports has also attracted many children, who can be really professional, or cute, while snowboarding.

“We are ready!” When the children’s match started, they had their equipment prepared before sending themselves on a conveyor belt heading to the start. 

Winters sports have gradually become popular in Chongqing, as Beijing is set to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games and thanks to a promotion of development of winter sports from north to south. Winter sport lovers in Chongqing gathered by themselves to compete with each other and to improve their skills. Although started late, the development of these sports is accelerating, trying its best. (Translated by Yang Lifu, Fathom Language Limited)
