CHINA will send its biggest ever Winter Olympic delegation to Vancouver for next month's Games.
China sent 76 athletes to the Turin Olympics four years ago. "We expect more than 90 athletes from China eventually to compete in Vancouver," Zhao Yinggang, director of the Chinese Winter Sports Administrative Center, said. "We now have 64 qualified skaters and 25 skiers after they booked all the tickets on offer for an association in short track speed skating, (freestyle skiing) and curling, and also earned berths for figure skating, speed skating and women's ice hockey." China won two golds, four silvers and five bronze medals in Turin.
