China's Cidan Yuzhen and Buluer carved their way to a 10th-place finish at the Ski Mountaineering World Cup in Spain this weekend – a crucial test run before February's big frozen showdown at Milano Cortina 2026! ❄️
The mixed relay event saw athletes tag-teaming through Boi Taull's snowy peaks, with two Chinese pairs competing. While Cidan/Buluer cracked the top 10, teammates Zhang Chenghao and Suolang Quzhen finished 19th in this Olympic-style rehearsal. 🏅
French champions Thibault Anselmet and Emily Harrop dominated the podium, but all eyes remain on ski mountaineering's historic Winter Games comeback – this adrenaline-packed sport hasn't graced the Olympic stage since 1948! ⏳
With the Chinese team now fine-tuning their gear and strategies, this 10th-place finish signals growing momentum as we count down to the February 6-22 Winter Olympics. Who's ready for gravity-defying ascents and white-knuckle descents? 🎿💨
