Team China has "achieved excellence" both on and off the field in Milan, Italy, over the past two weeks, said Tong Lixin, deputy head of the Chinese delegation at Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.

Defending champion Su Yiming led Chinese snowboarders onto the Olympic big air course in Livigno, Italy, on Monday, as the venue staged its first official training session ahead of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Games.
