Chinese snowboarder Cai Xuetong will participated in the coming ninth Asian Winter Games that will begin on February in her hometown Harbin, northeast China's Heilongjiang province. In an interview with CGTN Sports Scene's Mike Fox, she shared her goal for the program: to top the podium in front of her home crowd.

Cai made her Winter Olympic debut in Vancouver, Canada, in 2010 in the women's halfpipe event as the youngest athlete in the competitions. She has continued to improve over the following years and secured the halfpipe gold medal at the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) Snowboard World Championships in Kreischberg, Austria. Four years later, she earned a silver medal in the event at the tournament in Utah.

Cai's best performance at the Asian Winter Games came with a silver medal in 2017 in Sapporo, Japan. As one of the 170 athletes China will send to the competition, Cai will give her all to claim the title.
