Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, national fitness has received unprecedented attention-national fitness has become a national strategy. my country has clearly put forward the goal of extensively launching national fitness activities and accelerating the construction of a sports power. Nowadays, the “big group” pattern of government-led, multi-sectoral coordination, participation of the whole society, and joint construction and sharing of the whole people has initially taken shape. The masses’ willingness to exercise has been increasing, and more and more Chinese people have gained health and happiness from sports. Sports will play a more important role in satisfying the people’s yearning for a better life and promoting the all-round development of people.

In just a few years, many ice and snow projects in my country have grown from nothing, from weak to strong, and some projects have reached the world‘s advanced level.
