"The Expo is a good opportunity to better know China's winter sports and increase people's participation," he added.

Gian-Franco Kasper, President of the International Ski Federation (FIS), said he believed the third WWSE showed the maturity of China's winter sports market. The FIS hopes to reach a long-term and sustainable cooperation with China.

The Organizing Committee for the 2022 Games also attended the WWSE for the third consecutive year, allowing visitors to see the progress in the Games' preparatory work, the distribution of venues, and stadium planning, as well as finding out more about the sports and competitions to be held at the Games.

FIS Secretary-General Sarah Lewis advised the organizers on the legacy of the Olympic venues. "We can use sustainable methods to build and use ski resorts, so that natural and human resources can be fully utilized. For example, the ski resorts could also be used as mountain bike venues in summer."

Lewis also stressed the importance of ski training. "We know that 80 percent of China's skiers are beginners, for whom safety is paramount. They should enjoy winter sports without fear. Therefore, relevant safety training is important."

It is hoped that Beijing 2022 will be a catalyst to improve China's winter sports. Jan Dijkema, President of the International Skating Union, talked up China's medal prospects and winter sports legacy. "I know that Chinese skaters have performed very well. China has won 13 Winter Olympic gold medals. I believe China can succeed in promoting winter sports."
