Whatever the discipline, gold is in the line of sight, ideally. And in China, it absolutely is. And for that it must be integrated even in diapers. Indeed, the phenomenon of baby skiers is causing a sensation on social networks.

In China, everyone is doing it. On the artificial snow around Beijing, it’s skiing or snowboarding from an early age. At just eleven months old, Yuji is already surfing with disconcerting ease. Baby skiers or snowboarders are the latest sensation on Chinese social media. Some videos are viewed millions of times, no doubt the Olympic Games effect.

A seven-year-old Chinese boy has been setting fire to the web and the ski slopes for three years. The little snowboarder is a prodigy, the seed of a champion. With his father he is in training every day and has already won competitions. The government’s objective: to convert 300 million young people to the joys of winter sports. Chinese athletes have never really shone at the Winter Olympics and the Beijing Olympics could change that.
