He wasn't disappointed at all.

"Since we are hosting the next event at the Trojena mountain destination, we will learn a lot from China. We know it's a big challenge to be better than China, but we are trying our best to host the best games we could," he said.

After a visit to the Yabuli resort area following last month's seminar, Ganesan Sundaram Moorthy, the manager of OCA's sports department, said he cannot wait for the Games to open.

"The venue is impressive. I can't wait for it to snow and then we will know how beautiful this place is," Moorthy said of the competition slopes at Yabuli.

"Hopefully, some world records can be broken here (during the Games). And the quality of this place will be better than some other championships around the world. I guess this could host the Olympic Winter Games as well."
