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.
Milan has added the title of Olympic city to its long-held reputation as Italy's fashion and finance capital, a legacy crowning two decades of growth that has reshaped its skyline and boosted investment, tourism and cultural life in the city.
China's "golden girl" Gu Ailing saved her best for last, as the freeski sensation delivered on the final day at Milano-Cortina 2026 to successfully defend her Olympic gold medal in women's halfpipe at the Livigno Snow Park on Sunday.
