China is gearing up for the 2025 Winter Universiade in Turin, Italy, with a fresh-faced delegation of 48 athletes! 🌍 The squad, averaging just 22 years old, will represent 13 universities across six sports—from ice-cold showdowns in curling to adrenaline-packed short track speed skating. ❄️⛷️
Over 80% of the team are first-timers at global multi-sport events, but they’ve prepped hard through nationwide training camps in Beijing and Jilin Province. Liu Lixin, delegation head, hopes they’ll showcase China’s youth spirit and build cultural bridges: \"This is about more than medals—it’s about friendship and sharing our passion with the world.\" 🤝✨
Set for Jan 13–23, the Universiade will host 2,600+ participants from 55 countries and regions. Let’s cheer for these rising stars! 🇨🇳🔥
