China’s Winter Olympics squad for Milano Cortina 2026 is here—and it’s a mix of Gen-Z icons and seasoned legends! 🌟 The 286-member delegation, announced Tuesday, includes 126 athletes ready to compete in 15 disciplines across Italy next month.
Leading the charge are defending Olympic champions Gu Ailing (freestyle skiing) and Su Yiming (snowboarding), who became global sensations during Beijing 2022. They’ll join veterans like figure skating duo Sui Wenjing and Han Cong, plus short-track speed skater Fan Kexin—all aiming to add more gold to China’s tally after their historic 2022 haul of 15 medals.
The squad’s youngest member? 17-year-old snowboarder Ren Chongshuo. The oldest? Curling’s Xu Xiaoming at 41. With an average age of 25, this team blends TikTok-era energy with icy precision. ❄️
Mark your calendars: The 2026 Games (Feb 6–22) will feature a record 116 events, spread across Milan, Cortina, and other Italian hubs. Can China top its nine-gold performance from 2022? Let the snow games begin! ⛷️🎿
