This was the first time the People's Republic of China compete in the Winter Olympic Games. From sending athletes to Helsinki Summer Olympic Games for the very first time in 1952 to winning the bid to host 2022 Winter Olympic Games in 2015, the People's Republic of China went through a remarkable history of sports, including successfully hosting the 2008 Summer Olympic Games and preparing for the upcoming 2022 Winter Olympic Games.
