Asian Winter Games 2025

[erw 55]

Most disciplines in this Harbin Game is what china is good at.

 

There is no PS/PGS in snowboarding, no Mass start in Speed skating (but 100m exists!)

it's really hard for OCA to find a host for the Asian Winter Games. no game in 2021, even 2025 Harbin was announced relatively very late. (only 1.5 years ago) OCA even accepted Saudi Arabia's crazy bid to host the 2029 event in middle of a desert! (at least on paper that looks crazy)

therefore it's totally up to the host country to pick the events. 

 

this is really bad for the event's prestige but I assume OCA had no other option.

It doesn't help that there are essentially four nations (  ) competing for medals with maybe the likes of  being competitive in a few events. Others may get lucky with a bronze due to lack of competition.

Or just pure luck. Malaysia had a fourth in short track last time around.

I Think 

need a lot of luck to win a medal. Probably the best opportunity in figure skating.

Yes, China will win a lot of medals in Harbin, and I'm a little surprised that the Mass start event in speed-skating is not included. Instead, there is the 100m.
A less exciting event on the ice rink, but I think the organizers have chosen to include this distance to get as many participating countries as possible into the games. "Everyone" can do 100m on ice.

Starts tomorrow, with 6 hockey matches in Day -4!

I still haven't seen any news about an international feed for tv/streaming yet, unfortunately
