The Beijing Winter Olympics, which opened on the first day of spring in 2022, is undoubtedly the most important and most watched sporting event in the world this year. The athletes of the Winter Olympics fought hard and ignited their youth on the ice and snow arena, setting off a fiery whirlwind around the world.

It strongly supports the successful holding of the Beijing Winter Olympics and cheers for the heroic figures of Chinese Winter Olympic athletes stepping on ice skates and snowboards and galloping on the ice and snow arena.

The top international fashion magazine "L'OFFICIEL", a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMTD Group, invited the winner of "two golds and one silver" in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the champion of women's freestyle skiing big air, the champion of women's freestyle skiing halfpipe, and the runner-up of women's freestyle skiing slopestyle - Chinese teenager Gu Ailing to appear on the cover of the latest US edition . The 18-year-old Gu Ailing is the first athlete in the history of the Winter Olympics to stand on the podium in all three freestyle skiing events. Gu Ailing's sports spirit of breaking through herself and challenging her limits has become the pride of the people of the country.
Mr. Benjamin Eymere, Chief Metaverse Operating Officer of AMTD International and CEO of L'Officiel, said: "Gu Ailing, the cover character of our new e-newsletter, is the best representative of the combination of natural fitness and strength. L'Officiel has always paid great attention to and supported global sports, covering athletes from various sports, such as former Hong Kong fencing team player, well-known artist and singer Jackson Wang, world Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, and world-renowned track and field athlete Sydney McLaughlin. In them, we see the magical combination and collision of sports and fashion."
AMTD has always supported China's sports.
