Chinese ski jumpers take their first ski lesson as they target Beijing 2022

China have sent some of their most promising athletes to Norway to transform them into Winter Olympians.

A set of athletes aged 15-20 have been given an incredible challenge.

They haven’t ever worn skis before but are still hopeful of becoming international level ski jumpers.

We went behind-the-scenes on their first day on the slopes.

Plus, double Olympic champion Aksel Lund Svindal, 35, joined us to tell about how to achieve longevity in skiing.
