Because of his love for the games, Rao joined Alibaba in 2019 after learning that it had become a global partner of the International Olympic Committee. "Last year, our Alibaba Group Olympic team worked for the Tokyo Olympics. Thus, this year's Olympics will be my third one."
因为喜欢奥运，在得知阿里巴巴成为国际奥委会全球合作伙伴之后，饶杰于2019年进入阿里巴巴。“去年，我们阿里巴巴集团奥运团队一起参与了东京奥运会工作。这次，北京冬奥会是我第三次参加奥运会了。”
On April 28, 2020, Alibaba launched a project led by Rao to design the exterior of the torch for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics. It took nearly five months to revise and improve the design. After multiple rounds of evaluation, the proposal of Rao's team stood out from 181 others and was selected as the winner.
2020年4月28日，阿里巴巴启动应征北京2022年冬奥会和冬残奥会火炬外观设计项目，该项目由饶杰牵头。历时近5个月修改和完善，经过多轮评审，阿里团队的方案从182个方案中脱颖而出，被选定为最终胜出作品。
