China has named 82 athletes in its squad for the Youth Games. 3x3 basketball player Wang Yunzhang became the flagbearer for Chinese delegation at the opening ceremony.
Gao Zhidan, China's Chef de Mission for Buenos Aires 2018, said they would not be solely focusing on the number of medals won during the Games.
"What distinguishes the Youth Olympic Games from some other multi-sport events like the Olympic Games and the Asian Games is that the YOG program also offers a range of educational and cultural opportunities that build on the Olympic values," said Gao.
"I hope all the Chinese athletes can participate in the educational and cultural opportunities, and in that process let the world know more about China's younger generation," he added.
