Evaluation of PyeongChang Winter Olympics
PyeongChang Winter Olympics will be the third time that Asian countries have hosted this event after 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics and 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics. Huo Zhenting, member of the International Olympic Committee and chairman of the Hong Kong Olympic Committee of China, believes that the PyeongChang Winter Olympics will play a positive role in improving the level of winter sports in Asia as a whole.
Affected by climate and exercise habits, the overall level of winter sports in Asian countries is not high compared with European and American countries. Perhaps the PyeongChang Winter Olympics is an opportunity to make winter sports more popular in Asia and usher in new development opportunities.
