In the 2021-2022 season, the FIS Snowboard and Freestyle Ski Obstacle Chasing World Cup completed the athletes’ departure work on the 29th, marking the successful conclusion of the first international test match in the Zhangjiakou division of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
This test game conducted a comprehensive simulation and inspection of the running status of the Yunding Stadium during the game. Different from the Beijing Winter Olympics testing activities in early 2021, this testing event is a highly realistic Beijing Winter Olympics international event. Not only did it welcome 349 foreign athletes and 157 foreign team officials, but also held Zhangjiakou. For the first time in the competition area, the audience will be tested for stress.
This event is also the first time for Chinese players to participate in the World Cup competition since the formation of the freestyle ski obstacle chasing national team in 2017. It is of great significance to sharpen the ice and snow sports team and strive for the qualification of the Winter Olympics for the new winter event.
