Alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, ski mountaineering, curling, and short-track speed skating.

The increase in the size of the delegation reflects China's growing commitment to winter sports, especially following the success of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games. The Games will also serve as a cultural platform for the young Chinese athletes to exchange their cultural stories and views on sports with overseas students.

The Chinese delegation's head, Liu Lixin, expressed hope that the athletes will showcase the confident, optimistic, enthusiastic, and friendly qualities of China's young generation on and off the field. He also hopes that the Games will promote cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, enhance understanding with young people around the world, and foster friendship and common growth.

Prior to the Turin Games, selection events and training camps were held across China. Over 2,600 athletes and officials from 55 countries and regions around the world will participate in the 11-sport Games. For the first time, para student-athletes will compete in alpine and cross-country skiing events.
