Thing is, I not sure how Chinese they are...they mostly seem to have Mongolian names.

Not really. At least those who competed in the World Cup in December seem to have what looks like (for the uneducated like us) a mix between a Mongolian and Chinese name. A logical guess would be they're from areas relatively close to Mongolia, which  think might also be more logical than coming from the big cities like Shanghai. Same thing in speed skating every now and then.

I just searched their information. They are from Xinjiang, most probably Uighur or a little possibility of Kazak. Northern Xinjiang is a good place for skiing and many Chinese skiing athletes are from there. Actually most Chinese winter sports athletes are either from freezing North East or North West(Xinjiang).

Jeez, I notice the Estonians now have twin sisters (I presume; for all I know they could be completely unrelated)  Keidy & Kaidy Kaasiku on the Women’s Tour.

Yep, and they also have a girl with surname Kaasik
