The successful bid for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is great news for the people of China this year. Sun Nan, who has always loved skiing, followed up his performances of the two Winter Olympics songs “Snow and Ice Dancing” and “Beijing” by forming a music industry ski team called “Nan’s Team” on the 14th to hold its first ski event at Genting Snow Park. The initial lineup of Nan’s Team was impressive, with Sun Nan serving as the team leader and captain, Na Ying as deputy captain, and team members including Chen Yufan, Zhang Jie, Tan Weiwei, Shang Wenjie, Chen Xiaodong, Luan Shu, Zhang Jiang, Liu Xiaosong, Jin Wulin, He Chuan, Zhou Xiaoxiao, and Yu Chaoying. More notably, Sun Nan also brought his daughter Baoyao along for her first ski during this event, expressing his hope that she could participate in the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Known as the sports athlete of the Chinese music scene, Sun Nan put on cool ski goggles on the 14th and kicked off his first ski of 2015 at Genting Snow Park in Zhangjiakou, the venue for snowboarding and freestyle skiing events of the 2022 Winter Olympics. That day, Sun Nan appeared in a stylish ski suit paired with cool skis and goggles. At the sound of the signal, he speed-skied down the slope on a snowboard, drawing praise from the surrounding skiers. Sun Nan himself was also satisfied with his performance after the successful first run.
In an interview, Sun Nan stated that supporting the Beijing Winter Olympics involves not only singing the theme song but also encouraging those around him to ski together — which was the original idea behind forming “Nan’s Team.” He also hopes that the formation of the team will add extra luster to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. He also plans to continue promoting the Beijing Winter Olympics at his concerts in Shanghai on December 19 and in Beijing on December 24, encouraging more people to “get on the slopes” and contribute their part to cheer for the Winter Olympics.
Notably, in addition to the star-studded attendance at the “Nan’s Team” first ski event, there was also a special guest joining to help kick off the ski session — Sun Nan’s beloved daughter Baoyao. On the ski slopes, the media were surprised to find that after Sun Nan reached the bottom of the hill, he didn’t immediately head back to the start, but instead turned around holding the “Nan’s Team” flag to welcome his daughter Baoyao’s successful descent, showing abundant fatherly love. At the scene, Sun Nan encouraged his daughter, expressing his hope that Baoyao could also take part in the 2022 Winter Olympics to win glory for the country. Regarding his daughter’s skiing skills, Sun Nan confidently joked: “Baoyao could definitely teach Na Ying how to ski — she could even take Na Ying on as her student.”
