CCTV News: More than three years ago, Beijing just held an unparalleled Winter Olympics, and three years later, Harbin ushered in the Asian Winter Games. After three years, China holds another winter sports event. What considerations are the origins and what is the significance?

Strike the iron while it is hot!
There was once a argument that after the Beijing Winter Olympics, everyone's enthusiasm for participating in ice and snow sports will fade. But it turns out that such an argument is too short-lived.
Now, the enthusiasm for ice and snow sports is not a "small fire", but a "big fire". We will help us with the Asian Winter again. We believe that ice and snow sports will definitely be deeply integrated into the hearts of the Chinese and become a very concrete expression of our pursuit of a better life.

Train the team! !
It's less than a year away from the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics.
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese sports delegation achieved the best results in the history of the Winter Olympics. Their goal for the next Milan Winter Olympics is to achieve the best results in the overseas Winter Olympics. Therefore, the Harbin Asian Winter Games is a very important practical test, especially for many young athletes, comprehensive competitions and individual championships are completely different. Young players need such experience in how to grasp the tension and excitement during the competition.

Asia is unity! ! !
All nine Asian Winter Games, except for Kazakhstan, China, Japan and South Korea took turns to hold the other eight sessions. The territory of winter sports in Asia is too small, but it also shows that the potential is too great.
This Spring Festival, we open the door to welcome guests, just to share the achievements of our ice and snow sports development with our Asian friends, and also hope to give them some small inspiration, and even ignite the torch of their country's ice and snow sports. For example, it was Cambodia, Saudi Arabia and other countries that participated in the Asian Winter Games for the first time. At the same time, Saudi Arabia is also the host of the next Asian Winter Games.

In the past few days, Milan Winter Olympic Organizing Committee Chairman Marago said in an interview that when talking about ice and snow sports in the past, everyone always thinks of Italy, France, Switzerland and Nordic countries. Asia is an indispensable force in the development of ice and snow sports, and more countries and regions should participate in ice and snow competitions.
It seems that everyone’s ideas are the same. The Beijing Winter Olympics has changed the map of world ice and snow sports. I hope that the Harbin Asian Winter Games can also ignite the ice and snow sports in Asia.
