"Winter Olympics is quite different from Winter Universiade, Harbin still has a lot of efforts to make," said Xiao Tian, vice chairman of the Chinese Olympic Committee. "For example, Yabuli is still incapable of hosting World Cup Alpine events." Fritz Holzer, honorary member of FISU, said during his inspection of Yabuli ski resort that a better infrastructure needed to be built in the next few years in order to bid for the 2018 or 2022 Winter Olympics.

"To me, the ski resort in Yabuli is good enough for the Universiade ski competitions, but for the Winter Olympics, it needs to be a better infrastructure in the venue," said Holzer, also a member of International Skiing Federation (FIS).

More than 1,600 students from 44 countries and regions, aged between 17 and 28, took part in the 11-day Games where no one was positive in about 160 doping tests conducted, and a total of 20 countries made the medal table, with 15 winning their medal of golden tint.
