Asian Winter Games 2025

[PHI2019 326]

Philippines wins over South Korea 5-3 in men’s curling. Never thought I’d see the Philippines win a medal at the Asian Winter Games. And a gold medal too!

 Cha Jun-hwan has won the men’s single in figure skating which means, importantly, military service exemption!

Oh ya, that must have been a completely devastating result for them. The Olympic medal / Asian games gold medal exemption is just about the only socially acceptable way to skip military service in South Korea, and by all accounts South Korean military service *sucks*.
