The Chinese Olympic Committee and LI NING brand jointly release the award-winning equipment for the Chinese sports delegation at the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics.

On October 24, 2025, the Chinese Olympic Committee and the LI NING brand jointly announced the award-winning equipment for the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics Chinese sports delegation, integrating top professional sports technology with oriental aesthetics to showcase the strength and style of Chinese athletes to the world. Chinese Olympic Committee officials, LI NING brand founder and group chairman LI NING, as well as Olympic short track speed skating champion and first Chinese Winter Olympics gold medalist Yang Yang and other guests attended the event together to witness this glorious moment. The award-winning equipment for the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics Chinese sports delegation features red and white as the main colors, with the "Chinese red" fully showcasing Chinese cultural elements and outlining lines symbolizing the five-pointed star on the front; the "snow white" is inspired by winter sports scenes and also incorporates the whitespace imagery of oriental aesthetics. The LI NING brand logo is outlined on the sides, complemented by gold streamline patterns inspired by snow tracks, with a color scheme of red on top and white on the bottom to highlight the tall and straight figure of Chinese athletes. The award-winning uniform accompanies the athletes to the highest podium, showcasing sports spirit and competitive strength, while also presenting excellent traditional Chinese culture to the world. The award-winning uniform for the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics Chinese sports delegation features traditional auspicious patterns called "double victory patterns" on the shoulders, cuffs, and other parts, symbolizing victory and good fortune. A derivative pattern called "double victory snowflake pattern" is used on the collar, inner lining, and infrared prints, cleverly incorporating the "CHINA" letter pattern on the back of the uniform. The CHINA letters are visible after exposure to light at night, conveying good wishes for more victories for Chinese Winter Olympic athletes. Based on the actual needs of the athletes, the LI NING brand has equipped the award-winning gear with top professional sports technology and made significant breakthroughs in performance by incorporating both material and structural innovations focusing on "temperature locking, moisture permeability, and protection." LI NING brand collaborated with the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation News Center to promote the application and transformation of aerospace technology in the field of professional sports. Through the "Aerospace Technology Innovation Application Laboratory," they jointly created the dynamic insulation technology platform, which includes the application and transformation of "aerospace temperature-locking cotton" and "basalt far-infrared" technologies. These technologies were first used in the award-winning uniform of the Chinese sports delegation for this winter Olympics, achieving a double breakthrough in temperature locking and moisture permeability. The aerospace temperature-locking cotton increased warming efficiency by 44% and moisture permeability by 14%. Additionally, the award-winning uniform features basalt far-infrared technology for heat retention, with a temperature increase of 7.3 degrees during light testing and 2 degrees in far-infrared radiation. In addition to material and technology innovations, special treatments were applied to the inner structure of the award-winning gear. The back was reinforced with fluffy water-repellent goose down for support, creating more space in the garment to enhance warmth and facilitate the removal of moisture from the armpits for perspiration to manage body temperature zones, assisting athletes in quickly perspiring and locking in warmth after competition to maintain dynamic warmth. The protective layer utilizes a waterproof and breathable membrane capable of repelling heavy rainfall from 49mm to 99mm, offering functions for wind resistance, water resistance, and moisture permeability, among other protections. Furthermore, each set of award-winning gear includes approximately 45% recycled nylon and polyester materials, advocating for an environmentally friendly and low-carbon philosophy. The award-winning shoes are designed based on LI NING's classic "Liejun" series, with colors matching the award-winning uniform and drawing inspiration from the muscles and bones of war horses, symbolizing the success of Chinese athletes in the "Year of the Horse." The midsole of the award-winning shoes features LI NING's core midsole technology "ultron" for a comfortable and responsive feel. The core force area of the shoe sole applies leading ice-slip technology for good anti-slip grip, ensuring walking safety in complex winter environments. The shoe upper also incorporates water-repellent and stain-resistant fabrics to help athletes easily deal with different road surfaces and weather conditions in winter. The award-winning equipment not only showcases oriental aesthetics on the international sports stage but also demonstrates the strength of Chinese professional sports technology. During the drone-themed show on site, dynamic drone performances outlined the design of the award-winning equipment for the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics Chinese sports delegation, expressing best wishes for the delegation at the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics. LI NING, founder and chairman of the LI NING brand, expressed, "The glory of Chinese sports is passed down among generations of athletes. The award-winning gear represents the pinnacle of glory and also embodies the national spirit and athlete style. Chinese sports are entering an era of accelerated development, and the LI NING brand will continue to delve into the field of professional sports technology, serving and supporting the Chinese sports delegation with continuous technological innovation and striving to be the most reliable partner of the Chinese Olympic Committee and the Chinese sports delegation."
