Steep learning curve for Games' slope stewards

Having retired from competition a decade ago, two-time Olympian Wang Jiao never thought she would suit up for a third Winter Games.

However, the freestyle skier now finds herself hitting the slopes again as one of 220 volunteers recruited by the Beijing 2022 organizing committee.

Wang, who competed at the 2002 Salt Lake and 2006 Turin Games, looked as smooth as ever on her skis during a training drill on Sunday at Thaiwoo Ski Resort in Zhangjiakou, Hebei province.
