China’s delegation for the 9th Asian Winter Games in Harbin has chosen two trailblazers to lead the charge! Speed skater Ning Zhongyan and freestyle skier Liu Mengting will carry the flag at Friday’s opening ceremony, promising a showstopping start to the icy competition. ❄️
Ning, a speed demon on ice, made history in 2019 by smashing the men’s 1,500m track record at the ISU World Cup in Kazakhstan 🇰🇿. Then, in 2021, he blazed through Calgary to become China’s first men’s 1,000m international champion. Talk about *cold* domination! 🥇
Liu, the freestyle queen 👑, soared to fame this year with a silver in France’s FIS World Cup big air event and clinched gold in Austria last month. Her rise? As meteoric as her jumps! 🚀
Set against Harbin’s frosty backdrop—a city known for its ice sculptures and winter magic—this year’s Games are a must-watch for sports fans and culture buffs alike. Let the games begin! ⛸️🎿
