A total of 27 athletes from Northeast China's Jilin province recently got into gear and prepared to compete on the world stage at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games, which is scheduled to open on Feb 4 in the national capital.

Among them, 10 Jilin athletes – including Wu Dajing – will participate in the ice sports competitions and 17 Jilin athletes will participate in the snow sports.

Wu Dajing will participate in the men's short track speed skating 500-meters competition and is currently considered the most likely champion of Team China.

Freestyle skiing aerial skills have always been the dominant event of the Chinese delegation and athletes Qi Guangpu and Sun Jiaxu are among the Team China medal hopefuls.
