Ice hockey coach warms to the challenge of Olympics

For coach Hu Jiang and China's ice hockey players, the clock is ticking to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

He has often felt the weight of a nation in his selection and training of players for the event.

"Ice hockey is quickly growing in China, especially in terms of the number of players and the scale of tournaments. But it still takes time to close the gap with the superpowers in the game," said Hu, who is also a deputy representing the Heilongjiang province at the National People's Congress.
