China has won nine gold medals from short track speed skating out of the 12 golds the country has won in its entire winter Olympic history. China brought home two gold medals, both in the women's events, and three silvers, at the Sochi Games.

Short track skater Wu Dajing, two-time World Cup series winner in the 500m event this season, said that he was looking forward to the competition.

"I enjoyed the life in the village and I have met some of my major opponents. They are also old friends," Wu said.

"For me, the Winter Olympic competition is just the same as the World Cup series and the World Championships. The opponents are the same, and the competition format is also the same. So, just relax," he added.

After the flag-raising ceremony, the PyeongChang Olympics organizers arranged a performance featuring a mixture of Korean traditional dance and modern hip-hop.

The Chinese athletes will compete in 55 medal events in 12 disciplines across five different sports at the Olympics.
