In her opinion, though China started to participate in the event much later than its neighbors, the team has reached almost the same level with the South Korean team, while Japan is a more challenging rival with some very competent players.
In Sunday's women's game, Japan's Yanetani, born in 1984, finished first in both runs and won the gold medal for women's snowboard giant slalom.
But the Chinese players are confident about themselves. "We are not worse than anyone. We can do what they can. It's just that we need some time, as we had a late start," said Bi Ye, a male member of the giant slalom team.
The Chinese team is now working hard to get tickets to next year's Pyeongchang Winter Olympics while looking forward to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
"The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will be a stage for us to show ourselves, and all of us look forward to it very much. We are making a lot of efforts to achieve the goal of competing at the 2022 Games," said Bi.
They also hoped that giant slalom, a new sport in China, could flourish in the future.
"Let's all fall in love with snowboarding," said Zang.
