Dialogue with Yang Yang: China's growth and progress in winter sports

China Daily's Edgar Snow Newsroom is a new project exploring China's story in greater depth and detail.

As the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics are around the corner, Ian Goodrum, a reporter and member of the newsroom, makes a special visit to Shougang Industrial Park, where the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics organizing committee is based.

This new release is about China's growth and progress in winter sports through the eyes of Yang Yang, China's first Winter Olympic gold medalist and chairwoman of the Beijing 2022 Athletes' Commission.

From Yang's historic win 20 years ago to hosting the upcoming Winter Olympics, China is expecting even faster development in winter sports after next year's Games.
