Zhang Yuying, who had clinched a bronze medal at the Far East Cup earlier this month, won four titles at the Championships. She expressed her satisfaction and expected to improve her skiing at the upcoming Games.

"The NASC has one of the best skiing tracks and facilities, which will continue to accelerate the development of Alpine skiing in China," said Tang Honglang, leader of Beijing's Alpine skiing team. "More athletes can benefit from the Winter Olympic venue."

Chinese skiers used to train chiefly overseas, but in recent years more have come to practice in Yanqing.
