"To me, the ski resort in Yabuli is good enough for the Universiade ski competitions, but for the Winter Olympics, it needs to be a better infrastructure in the venue," said Holzer, also a member of International Skiing Federation (FIS).

More than 1,600 students from 44 countries and regions, aged between 17 and 28, took part in the 11-day Games where no one was positive in about 160 doping tests conducted, and a total of 20 countries made the medal table, with 15 winning their medal of golden tint.
