Episode I: An Olympic dialogue with Yang Yang
China Daily's Edgar Snow Newsroom is a new project exploring China's story in greater 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.
Taking in Shougang Big Air, the freestyle skiing and snowboard ramp at the park surrounded by golden ginkgo trees, Ian talked with Yang Yang, China's first Winter Olympic gold medalist and chairwoman of the Beijing 2022 Athletes' Commission, about her Winter Olympic dreams in the past and future.
The double Olympic champion said Beijing is gearing up for a spectacular but safe Games for the world and hoped athletes will compete at their best and enjoy the competition.
