Winter Olympics have been limited to fewer countries than regular Olympics because of weather (snow).

Moreover, because of China's crimes against many countries, one-sided agreements to benefit China, in my view, they should be banned from International events.

Not interested in China or its sports.

Ouch! No one expects them to place...but it would be cool to see them compete.

Not really they’re so slow from the top 10-15 it’s embarrassing, when they put up the times as they’re trying to match it.

Iran’s Winter Olympic sports has gotten worse or stayed the same for the last 30 years-they send a sprinkle of skiers who some can’t place at all in the runs….they’ve started somewhere for decades now—not one ounce of improvement .

We lack proper planning and investment but we don't have connections in foreign countries nor binational representing us (or even training our local athletes).
At last our current athlete have experienced Olympics and world championship and could teach our next generation to do better

Didn’t work for this current gen that “learned” from our skiers placing dead or almost dead last(if they finished at all) during the last decades of Winter Olympics .
