On the afternoon of March 26th, Beijing time, Gou Zhongwen, director of the General Administration of Sports and president of the Chinese Olympic Committee, held a video conference with Juan Antonio Samaranch, member of the International Olympic Committee, chairman of the Beijing Winter Olympics Coordination Committee and founder of Samaranch Foundation, The two sides had an in-depth exchange of views focusing on the preparations for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, the cooperation between the Chinese Olympic Committee and the International Olympic Committee, and the promotion of ice and snow sports.

In addition, Director Gou Zhongwen is very concerned about the promotion of ice and snow sports by Samaranch Foundation in China. In this regard, Ni Huizhong, director of the Winter Games Center of the General Administration of Sports, expressed that they will fully support President Samaranch's initiative on the promotion of ice and snow sports and the youth ice and snow sports activities carried out by Samaranch Foundation. They hope that the cooperation with Samaranch Foundation will also become an important legacy of Beijing Winter Olympics. I believe this result is expected by President Samaranch and the International Olympic Committee.

President Samaranch spoke highly of the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics, fully affirmed the progress made by Chinese athletes in training, and expected Chinese athletes to perform well in the Beijing Winter Olympics. President Samaranch proposed that Samaranch Foundation will launch the last round of youth ice and snow sports promotion activities before Beijing Winter Olympics in 2021, and thanked the Chinese Olympic Committee and the Winter Games Center of the General Administration of Sports for their strong support. In addition, President Samaranch said that he misses China very much and looks forward to visiting China again as soon as possible.
