Han became China's first gold medalist of a snow event at the Winter Olympic Games when he won the men’s freestyle skiing aerials at 2006 Turin Olympics.
Over 60 athletes, coaches and officials from the Chinese delegation attend the athletes' parade at the opening ceremony, which is held at Vancouver' s BC Place.
With 86 gold medals up for grabs in 15 sports, the Vancouver Games has attracted about 5,500 athletes from 82 countries and regions. It is the largest Games in Winter Olympics' history.
