Liu, on his first tour to head a Chinese sports delegation on the Olympic level, tipped the Turin Winter Olympics as a good chance to achieve better results and make better communication with other countries and regions.

We expect that the Chinese athletes will do better and display a highly motivated spirit, Liu said.
