Despite COVID-19 protocols, the journey to Beijing "went quite smoothly," said Magnin, who is settling into what he described as the "incredible" Olympic Village, adding "seeing all the nations here is an incredible experience, and we're going to enjoy it."

A total of 14 athletes from Spain participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics. At the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, skeleton pilot Ander Mirambell and Snowboarder Queralt Castellet served as flag bearers for the Spanish delegation.

Spanish Culture and Sports Minister Miquel Iceta attended the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics. Iceta encouraged Spanish athletes to perform well in the Winter Olympics, saying that the Winter Olympics should not be disturbed by political factors.

He said: "The Spanish team will do everything in the Winter Olympics. The athletes are always trying to improve their game, try to get better results and win medals. Other factors should not be allowed to distort the sporting content of the event."
