China's short track speed skating team, along with the snowboard big air and slopestyle team, arrived in Milan of Italy early Saturday morning, officially kicking off their Winter Olympics journey as the first batch of Team China athletes arriving.
The Chinese short track speed skating team is sending 10 athletes to this edition of the Winter Olympics. The team planned to hold its first on-ice training session later in the afternoon.
"I think the time difference is okay. I had some sleep aboard the plane and then arrived here," said team member Fan Kexin.
"I have been here before, but that was many years ago, four or five years ago. This is my second time. Every venue has its own style, and each course is different, so I am really looking forward to it," said Yang Wenlong, a member of the snowboard big air and slopestyle team.
