As we all know, Harbin is a famous city of ice and snow tourism and sports, and there are many talents in ice and snow sports. Harbin's successful bid for the Asian Winter Games this year has immersed the whole city in a strong festive atmosphere, and at the same time set off a new upsurge of participating in ice and snow sports among the masses.
As an "Olympic champion city", Harbin has unique ice and snow resources and ice and snow sports foundation. Harbin citizens love ice and snow, and even more love ice and snow sports. For more than a year before the 9th Asian Winter Games in 2025, citizens also want to cheer for the ice and snow athletes through their own efforts and ignite the city with enthusiasm.
Meet Harbin and dream of the Asian Winter Games. On the 8th, Harbin successfully won the right to host the 9th Asian Winter Games in 2025, and Harbin's unique "ice and snow attribute" added another highlight to this summer.
Harbin, as a famous city of ice and snow culture with a history of more than 100 years of winter sports development, bears most of Chinese people's memories of ice and snow, and with the increasingly rich venue resources, the Asian Winter Games won the bid and deserved it.
Holding the 2025 Asian Winter Games is a glorious mission entrusted to this city by history. As Zhang Qixiang, Mayor of Harbin, said in his on-site statement, "Harbin has the ability and confidence to hold an open, energetic, enthusiastic and wonderful Asian Winter Games".
Experience: Hosted many international high-level activities.
On the 8th, songs resounded through Sun Island, and joy spread across the banks of Songjiang. Nearly ten thousand people gathered in Sun Island to celebrate the success of the Olympic bid. This is the second time that Harbin has won the right to host the Asian Winter Games. On February 4th, 1996, the 3rd Asian Winter Games opened in Harbin. This is the first time that China has hosted an intercontinental comprehensive winter games, and Harbin has become the focus of attention in Asia.
Since then, Harbin has held a series of international ice and snow sports events, including the 2009 winter universiade, 20 12 and 20 16 International Skating World Cup Harbin Station, 20 15 Snowboarding World Youth Championship and 20 16 Snowboarding World Championship.
The success of these sports events has enabled Harbin to accumulate rich experience in hosting world competitions, and also added a very heavy weight to successfully bid for the 2025 Asian Winter Games.
With its advantages in the development and inheritance of ice and snow culture, Harbin has become the best place to hold national ice and snow sports events, and a series of high-level brand events have been successfully held here.
Among many activities, there are many national brand events such as the National Snow Bike Open, Speed Skating Marathon, National Winter Triathlon Championship, Fenlan Snow Cross-country Ski Marathon, and National Curling Youth Championship, which have made the national eyes focus on this famous ice and snow cultural city again and again.
As a brand event in Harbin in winter, Han Mei, organizer of Fenlan Snow Cross-country Ski Marathon and secretary general of Harbin Ski Association, said that Harbin is the birthplace of ice and snow sports in China and has a deep mass base. There are many advantages to holding the Asian Winter Games again in Harbin. I believe Harbin can go all out to make this ice and snow event a success.
Whether it is a comprehensive ice and snow sports event or a successful high-level winter sports event, Harbin has accumulated a lot of experience in hosting the event in terms of venue configuration, event operation, logistics service, safety guarantee, medical assistance and volunteer service. At the same time, it has trained a group of talents to run the games, and Harbin has the ability to contribute another wonderful and successful Asian Winter Games to Asia.
Have confidence: ice and snow have already been integrated into the blood of the city.
