Li Nina, a promotional ambassador for Beijing's 2022 Winter Olympics Games, said Thursday at an interview by Chinanews that she is surprised to find so many ski resorts near Beijing and believe they allow athletes to compete to the best of their abilities.


The two-time Olympic medallist and three-time world champion has been honored as the leading athlete of her generation and a true winter sports competitor on the global stage.


Li said although initially she would train in Inner Mongolia because of its snowy climate, there are now many professional ski resorts in several northern cities.


"I cannot believe that more than 100 ski resorts have been built around Beijing just in the last decade. Many people now go skiing in winter, and it has become part of their lifestyle," she said.


"I have competed at many world-class ski resorts, so initially I was not interested in visiting ordinary ski fields. But after skiing at Wanlong in Zhangjiakou of Hebei province Cheap Atlanta Braves Jerseys , which features different ski tracks of varying level, I was pleasantly surprised by the convenience and professional facilities provided."


The Wanlong ski resort, about 260 kilometers northwest of Beijing, has been renowned for its supportive and professional facilities even before the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic bid.


Li believes the games would bring exciting development opportunities to China.


BEIJING, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- The religious rights of Tibetans are duly protected in China, with ample sites for worship and intensified efforts to preserve their Buddhist culture, a noted Tibetan studies specialist said in a bylined article Thursday.


In his article, Li Decheng Cheap Baltimore Orioles Jerseys , a scholar with the Beijing-based China Tibetology Research Center, refuted a recent Human Rights Watch report that blamed China for suppressing Tibetan religious rights.


"Such accusations are groundless," said Li, who serves as director of the center's institute for religious studies.


Four weeks before the Tibetan new year, countless pilgrims were seen performing religious rituals at the foot of the Gangsrinpoche, widely revered as a sacred peak of the Kailas Mountain in the north of the Himalayas in Tibet's Ngari Prefecture.
